Button

The Button action set is used to build buttons for other action sets, such as TitleBar and Modal.

Setup

Create an app and import the Button module from @shopify/app-bridge/actions. Note that we'll be referring to this sample application throughout the examples below.

import createApp from '@shopify/app-bridge';
import {Button} from '@shopify/app-bridge/actions';

const app = createApp({
  apiKey: '12345',
  shopOrigin: shopOrigin,
});

Create a button

Generate a primary button with the label Save:

const myButton = Button.create(app, {label: 'Save'});

Subscribe to click action

You can subscribe to button actions by calling subscribe. This returns a function that you can call to unsubscribe from the action:

const myButton = Button.create(app, {label: 'Save'});
const clickUnsubscribe = myButton.subscribe(Button.Action.CLICK, data => {
  // Do something with the click event
});

// Unsubscribe to click actions
clickUnsubscribe();

Dispatch click action

const myButton = Button.create(app, {label: 'Save'});
myButton.dispatch(Button.Action.CLICK);

Dispatch click action with a payload

const myButton = Button.create(app, {label: 'Save'});
// Trigger the action with a payload
myButton.dispatch(Button.Action.CLICK, {message: 'Saved'});

// Subscribe to the action and read the payload
myButton.subscribe(Button.Action.CLICK, data => {
  // data = { payload: { message: 'Saved'} }
  console.log(`Received ${data.payload.message} message`);
});

Attach buttons to a modal

You can attach buttons to other actions such as modals. To learn more about modals, see Modal.

const okButton = Button.create(app, {label: 'Ok'});
const cancelButton = Button.create(app, {label: 'Cancel'});
const modalOptions = {
  title: 'My Modal',
  message: 'Hello world!',
  footer: {primary: okButton, secondary: [cancelButton]},
};

const myModal = Modal.create(app, modalOptions);

Button style

You can change the style of the button by passing the style property. Buttons support a single alternate style, the Danger style:

const myButton = Button.create(app, {label: 'Delete', style: Button.Style.Danger});

Update options

You can call the set method with partial button options to update the options of an existing button. This automatically triggers the update action on the button and merges the new given options with existing options:

const myButton = Button.create(app, {label: 'Save'});
myButton.set({disabled: true});

Unsubscribe

You call unsubscribe to remove all current subscriptions on the button:

const myButton = Button.create(app, {label: 'Save'});
myButton.subscribe(Button.Action.CLICK, data => {
  // Do something with the click event
});

myButton.unsubscribe();
