No package dependency beyond React. Shared Gummy material is resolved automatically.

Behavior contract

Semantics before surface

Semantics

A native button with variant, size, finish, loading, and disabled states.

Keyboard

Enter and Space activate the native button.

System support

Light and dark themes, logical RTL layout, reduced motion, responsive content, and forwarded public refs.

Source-derived reference

Anatomy and public API

Exported anatomy

These public React parts are read directly from the canonical source during the documentation build.

GummyButton

Prop contracts

`GummyButtonProps`

Composes React.ButtonHTMLAttributes<HTMLButtonElement> & { variant?: GummyButtonVariant; size?: GummyButtonSize; finish?: GummyButtonFinish; loading?: boolean; loadingText?: React.ReactNode; }

Troubleshooting

Check behavior before surface.

If the material is missing, confirm the registry-installed shared and component CSS files are imported once.
If interaction differs, preserve this contract: Enter and Space activate the native button.
If assistive output differs, preserve this semantic foundation: A native button with variant, size, finish, loading, and disabled states.
If dark, RTL, or reduced-motion behavior is missing, verify the nearest theme, direction, and media-query boundaries rather than adding page-local overrides.

Implementation decisions

When to use Button

Use a button for an action that changes state, submits data, opens a control, or starts a process; use a link when the result is navigation. Keep the visible label specific to the outcome and preserve native disabled, focus, keyboard, and form behavior. Loading feedback should name the ongoing work without erasing the original context. Test double activation, server rejection, destructive confirmation, permission changes, touch targets, high zoom, and completion announcements.
