## Buttons!

We already talked a bit about buttons in the previous lesson, now let's finally roll up our sleeves and create a decent button.

Creating a basic button
In our project, in the Call to action section, below the headings, add the following button code; HTML:

```
<button class="rounded bg-blue-500 px-4 py-2 text-white">Click Me</button>
```
This will be the result:

In this example, we've applied several classes to the button:

bg-blue-500: This sets the button's background color to a specific shade of blue.
text-white: This sets the button's text color to white.
px-4 py-2: These are padding classes. px-4 applies horizontal padding and py-2 applies vertical padding.
rounded: This gives the button rounded corners.
Creating a button with hover effects
If you want to add hover effects to the button, such as changing the background color when the mouse pointer is over the button, you can use the hover: prefix.

```
<button class="rounded bg-blue-500 px-4 py-2 text-white hover:bg-blue-700">
  Click Me
</button>
```

hover:bg-blue-700: changes the background color to a darker shade of blue when you hover over the button.

## Creating a button with active state

You might also want to change the button's style when it's active, or being clicked. You can do this with the active: prefix.

```
<button
  class="rounded bg-blue-500 px-4 py-2 text-white hover:bg-blue-700 active:bg-blue-800">
  Click Me
</button>
```

Where is the end?
We could continue this process of improving the button for quite some time. It would be worth adding focus state, dark mode, shadow and a few other things.

As you can see, the list of classes grows mercilessly, and managing them becomes more and more problematic.

This is where the TW Elements library comes in handy, providing us with ready-made solutions combined into a coherent design system.

Let's take a look at what it has to offer.

## TW Elements buttons

**Basic example**

Use these default button styles with multiple colours to indicate an action or link within your website.

</button>
```

## Hierarchy
Buttons, as one of the key UI elements, must have their own hierarchy. This means that the user should be able to easily identify which button is the most important (primary button), which is less important (secondary button) and which presents completely additional information (tertiary button).

Elements with strong, filled backgrounds and shadows attract attention the most, which is why button primary is built in this way.

A delicate background without shadows is less engaging, so it is well suited for button secondary.

The lack of background and shadow makes the element the least visible. These features characterize the button tertiary.

**Note:** _Button tertiary may require additional margins. Without extra margins, the button edge will be flush with adjacent elements (which is sometimes the desired result). If you need margin - simply add margin utility classes like mx-2._

## Contextual

TW Elements includes several predefined button styles, each serving its own semantic purpose.

## Floating

Use floating action button that represents the primary action in an application. It's button that appears in front of all screen content, typically as a circular shape with an icon in its center.

## Step 1 - add button to the project

Uhh, that was a long lesson. However, I hope that now the buttons are not scary for you (despite the number of classes they require 😅).

Using the newly acquired knowledge, let's update the Call to action section in our project and add a button with an icon under the headings:

```
<!-- Call to action -->
<div class="text-center text-white">
  <h1 class="mb-5 text-5xl font-semibold">I am learning Tailwind</h1>
  <h2 class="mb-7 text-2xl font-medium">
    And what an exciting adventure it is!
  </h2>

  <!-- Button -->
  <a
    href="#"
    role="button"
    class="inline-block rounded-full bg-primary-100 px-7 pb-2.5 pt-3 text-sm font-medium uppercase leading-normal text-primary-700 transition duration-150 ease-in-out hover:bg-primary-accent-100 focus:bg-primary-accent-100 focus:outline-none focus:ring-0 active:bg-primary-accent-200">
