Basic Button

A button is generally an inline interactive graphical element. Its main purpose is to help the user perform a function (sometimes navigate). <button class="e-bolt-button"> is acceptable at rendering a button, though the Twig template is the recommended usage for Drupal.

Important Notes:

Only text should be passed to the content prop. However, <span>, <em>, and <strong> elements can be used.

Button element is a replacement for the Button component.

Demo

Light

Dark

Twig

{% include '@bolt-elements-button/button.twig' with { content: 'This is a button', attributes: { type: 'button' } } only %}

HTML

<button type="button" class="e-bolt-button">This is a button</button>

Button as an <a> element

When appropriate, an <a> element can use the button style. For example, the button helps to navigate to another page.

Important Notes:

If a button serves navigational purpose, the proper URL must be set with the href attribute.

Demo

This looks like a button but semantically is an anchor

Twig

{% include '@bolt-elements-button/button.twig' with { content: 'This looks like a button but semantically is an anchor', attributes: { href: 'https://pega.com', } } only %}

HTML

<a href="https://pega.com" class="e-bolt-button">This looks like a button but semantically is an anchor</a>

HTML Attributes for Button

Depending on if the <a> element or the <button> element is being used, the proper HTML attributes should be passed.

Important Notes:

<a> requires the href attribute.

<button> requires the type attribute.

Demo

This button has the "href", "target", and "id" attributes

Twig

// <button> {% include '@bolt-elements-button/button.twig' with { content: 'This button has the "type" attribute', attributes: { type: 'submit', } } only %} // <a> {% include '@bolt-elements-button/button.twig' with { content: 'This button has the "href", "target", and "id" attributes', attributes: { href: 'https://pega.com', target: '_blank', id: 'js-bolt-some-unique-id' } } only %}

HTML

<a href="https://pega.com" target="_blank" id="js-bolt-some-unique-id" class="e-bolt-button">This button has the "href", "target", and "id" attributes</a>

Button with Icon

Icons can be used in tandem with a button. An icon can be placed before and/or after the button text. The icon component is recommended for appending icons. However, an <img> element is also acceptable.

Important Notes:

Icons are set inline with text so icon size will grow or shrink with text size. The size and background props for the icon component are not well supported in this scenario.

When writing in plain HTML, all white space must be eliminated to have the icon display correctly next to text (in terms of spacing and wrapping). The markup must be written all in one line and spaces between HTML elements must be removed.

When writing in plain HTML, <span class="e-bolt-button__icon-before"> and <span class="e-bolt-button__icon-after"> are required to wrap around the icon markup. The wrapper ensures that the icon will always wrap with the final word of the text. It will never wrap to the next line on its own.

Demo

Twig

// Icon vars {% set icon_custom %} <img src="/images/placeholders/500x500.jpg"> {% endset %} {% set icon_chevron_down %} {% include '@bolt-components-icon/icon.twig' with { name: 'chevron-down', } only %} {% endset %} // Button include {% include '@bolt-elements-button/button.twig' with { content: 'This is a button with icons before and after', icon_before: icon_custom, icon_after: icon_chevron_down, attributes: { type: 'button' } } only %}

HTML

<button type="button" class="e-bolt-button"><span class="e-bolt-button__icon-before"><img src="/images/placeholders/500x500.jpg"></span>This is a button with icons before and after<span class="e-bolt-button__icon-after"><bolt-icon name="chevron-down"></bolt-icon></span></button>

Icon Only Button

Icon only button visually hides the text content of the button. Such a button should be used sparingly and only in places where screen real estate is a concern.

Important Notes:

It is recommended that icon only buttons to be used in tandem with tooltip to give the user more context about the button’s function.

When writing in plain HTML, aria-label is required to render the button text. For example: <button type="button" class="e-bolt-button e-bolt-button--icon-only" aria-label="Download">. Text should not be used inside the button when using aria-label.

When writing in plain HTML, <span class="e-bolt-button__icon-center"> is required to wrap around the icon markup. The wrapper ensures that the icon will always center within the button.

Demo

File size: 25MB

Add another row

Twig

// Icon only button combined with tooltip {% set icon_download %} {% include '@bolt-components-icon/icon.twig' with { name: 'download', } only %} {% endset %} {% set tooltip_trigger %} {% include '@bolt-elements-button/button.twig' with { content: 'Download', icon_only: icon_download, attributes: { type: 'button' } } only %} {% endset %} {% include '@bolt-components-tooltip/tooltip.twig' with { trigger: tooltip_trigger, content: 'File size: 25MB', } only %}

HTML

// Icon only button combined with tooltip <bolt-tooltip> <button type="button" class="e-bolt-button e-bolt-button--icon-only" aria-label="Download"> <span class="e-bolt-button__icon-center"><bolt-icon name="download"></bolt-icon></span> </button> <span slot="content">File size: 25MB</span> </bolt-tooltip>

Button Hierarchy

A button can be assigned to various levels of the content hierarchy based on the information architecture of the layout.

Important Notes:

Transparent button is the lowest in the hierarchy level. This style has the lowest affordances and it should NEVER be used alone. Always pair it with a primary, secondary, or tertiary button.

Demo

Light

Dark

Twig

{% include '@bolt-elements-button/button.twig' with { content: 'This is a secondary button', hierarchy: 'secondary', attributes: { type: 'button' } } only %}

HTML

<button type="button" class="e-bolt-button e-bolt-button--secondary">This is a secondary button</button>

Button Size

A button’s size can be modified per use case.

Demo

Twig

{% include '@bolt-elements-button/button.twig' with { content: 'This is a small button', size: 'small', attributes: { type: 'button' } } only %}

HTML

<button type="button" class="e-bolt-button e-bolt-button--small">This is a small button</button>

Button Border Radius

Rounded buttons are possible with the border_radius prop.

Demo

Twig

{% include '@bolt-elements-button/button.twig' with { content: 'This is a fully rounded button', border_radius: 'full', attributes: { type: 'button' } } only %}

HTML

<button type="button" class="e-bolt-button e-bolt-button--border-radius-full">This is a fully rounded button</button>

Button Display

The display of a button can be changed from inline to block (full width), and there is an extra option to make it transform from inline to block at the small breakpoint.

Important Notes:

When display prop is set to inline@from-small, it means the button is block display below the small breakpoint, and transform to inline display from small breakpoint and up. Resize the browser to see the demo below.

Demo

Twig

{% include '@bolt-elements-button/button.twig' with { content: 'This is a full width button', display: 'block', attributes: { type: 'button' } } only %}

HTML

<button type="button" class="e-bolt-button e-bolt-button--block">This is a full width button</button>

Upload Button

The button classes can also be used on a file input.

Important Notes:

This is an advanced use case and the Twig template does not support this.

Hierarchy should be set to tertiary.

Size should be set to small.

Image

A responsive image embed.

In Progress (Unreleased)

Twig Usage

  {% include '@bolt-elements-image/image.twig' with {
  fill: true,
  attributes: {
    alt: 'Image alt text',
    src: 'path/image.jpg',
    width: 500,
    height: 500,
  },
} only %}

Schema

Prop Name	Description	Type	Default Value	Option(s)
attributes	A Drupal-style attributes object with extra attributes to append to this element.	`object`	—	—
fill	Render the image 100% wide, filling up the full width of its parent container.	`boolean`	—	—
background	Render the image as a background image. This sets the image to be absolute positioned, only use this prop if the image is inside a non-static container.	`boolean`	—	—

Install

  npm install @bolt/elements-image

Dependencies

@bolt/core-v3.x

Basic Image

An image element embeds a responsive graphic on the page.

Important Notes:

To make an image accessible to screen readers and other assistive technology, make sure to include text description via the alt attribute.

To indicate an image as decoration, leave the alt attribute blank, do not remove it. For example: alt="".

It is best practice to always define the width and height attributes, so the space that the image would take up is already calculated before the image finishes loading. This helps to reduce cumulative layout shifts.

If responsiveness is not needed, please use a plain <img> element instead.

Demo

Twig

{% include '@bolt-elements-image/image.twig' with { attributes: { alt: 'Alt text.', src: 'path/image.jpg', width: 400, height: 225, }, } only %}

HTML

Responsive Resolutions

Use the srcset and sizes attributes to render various resolutions of the same image at specific breakpoints.

Important Notes:

The srcset attribute accepts one or more strings separated by commas, indicating possible image sources for the user agent to use. Each string is composed of a URL to an image and a width descriptor. For example, srcset="image/400x300.jpg 400w, image/800x600.jpg 800w, image/1600x1200.jpg 1600w".

The sizes attribute should contain a number value with the vw unit. The number should be determined by the largest size which the image could take up relative to screen size. For example, a large image taking up full width of a page should use something around 96vw to 100vw; a small image taking up 1 column of a 3-column layout should use 33vw.

For more advanced use cases, reference the MDN article on responsive images.

Demo

Twig

{% include '@bolt-elements-image/image.twig' with { attributes: { alt: 'Alt text.', src: 'path/image-800.jpg', srcset: 'path/image-400.jpg 400w, path/image-800.jpg 800w', sizes: '50vw', width: 800, height: 450, }, } only %}

HTML

Fill Image

The fill prop will stretch the image to fill up 100% width of its parent container, ignoring the image’s true width and height.

Important Notes:

Even though they are ignored, it is best practice to always define the width and height attributes, so the space that the image would take up is already calculated before the image finishes loading. This helps to reduce cumulative layout shifts.

Demo

Twig

{% include '@bolt-elements-image/image.twig' with { fill: true, attributes: { alt: 'Alt text.', src: 'path/image-800.jpg', srcset: 'path/image-400.jpg 400w, path/image-800.jpg 800w', sizes: '96vw', width: 800, height: 450, }, } only %}

HTML

Simple Background Image

The background prop will transform the image into a background image.

Important Notes:

The image must be placed into a container that is not positioned static (e.g. absolute, fixed, relative, or sticky).

It must be the first child of said container.

All foreground content of said container must be positioned relative.

Most background images are decorative, it is reasonable to leave the alt attribute blank for such case.

It is recommended to use the srcset and sizes attributes for better performance.

Demo

This is a non-static container

Twig

<div style="position:relative;"> // This image will fill up the non-static parent container {% include '@bolt-elements-image/image.twig' with { background: true, attributes: { src: 'path/image-1600.jpg', srcset: 'path/image-400.jpg 400w, path/image-800.jpg 800w, path/image-1600.jpg 1600w', sizes: '100vw', width: 1600, height: 900, }, } only %} <div style="position:relative;"> // Content goes here after the image </div> </div>

HTML

<div style="position:relative;"> // This image will fill up the non-static parent container <img src="path/image-1600.jpg" srcset="path/image-400.jpg 400w, path/image-800.jpg 800w, path/image-1600.jpg 1600w" sizes="100vw" width=1600 height=900 class="e-bolt-image e-bolt-image--bg" alt=""> <div style="position:relative;"> // Content goes here after the image </div> </div>

Use Case: Advanced Background Image

In addition to the background prop, there are 2 CSS custom properties available for use to further customize background image(s). They are commonly used when multiple decorative background images are required.

Important Notes:

--e-bolt-image-fit

Setting this to none will allow the background image to stay exactly at its specified width and height.

Setting this to contain will allow the background image to be contained within its parent container. No cropping will happen to the image.

By default, this is set to cover.

More advanced options are supported, reference the CSS property object-fit.

--e-bolt-image-position

This custom property accepts pair values: x-axis and y-axis position tokens (e.g. top left, top center, top right, bottom left, bottom center, bottom right, left center, right center, center center).

By default, this is set to center center.

More advanced options are supported, reference the CSS property object-position.

Demo

Setting fit to contain

Setting fit to none and position to exact directions

Twig

<div style="position:relative;"> // This background image will not be cropped and it is positioned to center of the non-static parent container. {% include '@bolt-elements-image/image.twig' with { background: true, attributes: { src: 'path/image.jpg', width: 500, height: 500, style: '--e-bolt-image-fit: contain; --e-bolt-image-position: center center;', }, } only %} // This background image will not stretch and it is positioned to top left of the non-static parent container. {% include '@bolt-elements-image/image.twig' with { background: true, attributes: { src: 'path/image.jpg', width: 150, height: 150, style: '--e-bolt-image-fit: none; --e-bolt-image-position: top left;', }, } only %} </div>

HTML

<div style="position:relative;"> // This background image will not be cropped and it is positioned to center of the non-static parent container. <img src="path/image.jpg" width=500 height=500 style="--e-bolt-image-fit: contain; --e-bolt-image-position: center center;" class="e-bolt-image e-bolt-image--bg" alt=""> // This background image will not stretch and it is positioned to top left of the non-static parent container. <img src="path/image.jpg" width=150 height=150 style="--e-bolt-image-fit: none; --e-bolt-image-position: top left;" class="e-bolt-image e-bolt-image--bg" alt=""> </div>

Use Case: Art Direction

The <picture> HTML element can help with art directing a particular graphical area of a page.

Important Notes:

When to use just the image element: loading different resolutions of the same image based on screen size.

When to use the <picture> HTML element: loading completely different images altogether based on screen size.

The srcset attribute should be used.

The x descriptor should be used after the image file URL. This helps with loading higher resolution images for monitors with higher DPI.

The media attribute should be used to indicate multiple breakpoints.

For more advanced use cases, reference the MDN article on responsive images.

Demo

Completely different images are loaded via the <picture> HTML element, resize this page to see the image on the left change.

Twig

<picture> // Set the image sources <source srcset="path/image-2x.jpg 2x, path/image.jpg" media="(min-width: 1000px)"> <source srcset="path/image-b-1200.jpg 2x, path/image-b-600.jpg" media="(min-width: 600px)"> <source srcset="path/image-a-600.jpg 2x, path/image-a-300.jpg" media="(min-width: 300px)"> // Set the fallback image {% include '@bolt-elements-image/image.twig' with { attributes: { alt: 'Alt text.', src: 'path/image.jpg', srcset: 'path/image-2x.jpg 2x', width: 1000, height: 500, }, } only %} </picture>

HTML

Text Link as a <button> Element

When appropriate, a <button> element can use the text link style. For example, the text link performs a function such as opening a modal or popover.

Important Notes:

If a text link serves no navigational purpose, the proper type attribute must be set: button, submit, or reset.

Demo

Twig

{% include '@bolt-elements-text-link/text-link.twig' with { content: 'This looks like a text link but semantically is a reset button', attributes: { type: 'reset', } } only %}

HTML

HTML Attributes for Text Link

Depending on if the <a> element or the <button> element is being used, the proper HTML attributes should be passed.

Important Notes:

<a> requires the href attribute.

<button> requires the type attribute.

Demo

This text link has the "href", "target", and "id" attributes

Twig

{% include '@bolt-elements-text-link/text-link.twig' with { content: 'This text link has the "href", "target", and "id" attributes', attributes: { href: 'https://pega.com', target: '_blank', id: 'js-bolt-some-unique-id' } } only %}

Icons can be used in tandem with a text link. An icon can be placed before and/or after the text. The icon component is recommended for appending icons. However, an <img> element is also acceptable.

Important Notes:

Icons are set inline with text so icon size will grow or shrink with text size. The size and background props for the icon component are not well supported in this scenario.

When writing in plain HTML, all white space must be eliminated to have the text underline and icon display correctly. The markup must be written all in one line and spaces between HTML elements must be removed.

When writing in plain HTML, <span class="e-bolt-text-link__icon-before"> and <span class="e-bolt-text-link__icon-after"> are required to wrap around the icon markup. The wrapper ensures that the icon will always wrap with the final word of the text. It will never wrap to the next line on its own.

Reversed Underline Text Link

Text link has a style variant called reversed underline. This is commonly used in headlines with icons because an icon may already indicate interactivity, reducing the need for the underline. The underline will appear on hover instead of being visible always.

Important Notes:

It is recommended to use this style variant while having either an icon before or after.

Demo

This is a reversed underline headline text link

This is a reversed underline body text link

Twig

{% include '@bolt-elements-text-link/text-link.twig' with { content: 'This is a reversed underline text link', icon_after: icon_chevron_right, reversed_underline: true, attributes: { href: 'https://pega.com', } } only %}

HTML

<a href="https://pega.com" class="e-bolt-text-link e-bolt-text-link--reversed-underline">This is a reversed underline text link</a>

Expand Click Target

The text link will increase its click target to cover a particular block of content.

Important Notes:

When creating a block text link (such as trying to make an entire card clickable while retaining the headline as the link) with the expand_click_target prop, the text link must be placed into a container that is not positioned static (e.g. absolute, fixed, relative, or sticky), and the text must explain clearly the block of content that it’s trying to cover.

Only 1 block text link should be used within a particular block of content.

Demo

This is a block text link, its click target will cover the entire area of its closest container that is not positioned static

Hover over this box, the whole thing is clickable.

Twig

// Wrap this text link with a container that is not positioned static. {% include '@bolt-elements-text-link/text-link.twig' with { content: 'This is a block text link, its click target will cover the entire area of its closest container that is not positioned static.', expand_click_target: true, attributes: { href: 'https://pega.com', } } only %}

HTML

// Wrap this text link with a container that is not positioned static. <a href="https://pega.com" class="e-bolt-text-link e-bolt-text-link--expand-click-target">This is a block text link, its click target will cover the entire area of its closest container that is not positioned static.</a>
