Best Practices

1. Use semantic types: Use appropriate type for different actions

   • primary for main actions
   • error or warning for destructive actions
   • default for secondary actions

2. Provide feedback: Use loading state for async operations

   <n-button :loading="submitting" @click="handleSubmit">
     Submit
   </n-button>
   

3. Accessibility: Add aria-label for icon-only buttons

   <n-button circle aria-label="Add item">
     <template #icon>
       <n-icon><AddIcon /></n-icon>
     </template>
   </n-button>
   

4. Consistent sizing: Use consistent sizes within the same context

5. Button groups: Use ButtonGroup for related actions

6. Disabled state with tooltip: Use tag="div" when you need tooltip on disabled button

7. Icon placement: Use icon-placement prop to position icons

8. Custom colors: Use color and text-color props for brand-specific styling
