React Buttons - Flowbite

Enable user interaction with the button component to perform actions on your website as links, for payment, form submission, social buttons and more based on React and Tailwind CSS

The button component is a common UI component found on the web that allows users to trigger certain actions on your website such as submitting a form, navigating to a new page, or downloading a file.

The examples from the Flowbite React library allows you to customise the buttons with different colors, sizes, icons, and more. All examples are built with React and Tailwind CSS.

In order to start using the button component you need to import it from Flowbite React:

'use client';

import { Button } from 'flowbite-react';
