Colors
MDB includes several predefined button styles, each serving its own semantic purpose, with a few extras thrown in for more control.
import React from "react";
import { MDBBtn, MDBContainer } from "mdb-react-ui-kit";
export default function App() {
return (
<>
<MDBBtn color="primary" className="square-md m-1">
Primary
</MDBBtn>
<MDBBtn color="secondary" className="square-md m-1">
Secondary
</MDBBtn>
<MDBBtn color="success" className="square-md m-1">
Success
</MDBBtn>
<MDBBtn color="danger" className="square-md m-1">
Danger
</MDBBtn>
<MDBBtn color="warning" className="square-md m-1">
Warning
</MDBBtn>
<MDBBtn color="info" className="square-md m-1">
Info
</MDBBtn>
<MDBBtn color="light" rippleColor="dark" className="square-md m-1">
Light
</MDBBtn>
<MDBBtn color="dark" className="square-md m-1">
Dark
</MDBBtn>
<MDBBtn color="link" rippleColor="dark" className="square-md m-1">
Link
</MDBBtn>
</>
);
}
.square-md {
width: 100px !important;
max-width: 100% !important;
max-height: 100% !important;

text-align: center;

}
Conveying meaning to assistive technologies:
Using color to add meaning only provides a visual indication, which will not be conveyed to
users of assistive technologies – such as screen readers. Ensure that information denoted by
the color is either obvious from the content itself (e.g. the visible text), or is included
through alternative means, such as additional text hidden with the
.visually-hidden
class.
Outline
In need of a button, but not the hefty background colors they bring? Add outline
property to remove all background images and colors on any button.
import React from "react";
import { MDBBtn } from "mdb-react-ui-kit";
export default function App() {
return (
<>
<MDBBtn
outline
color="primary"
rippleColor="dark"
className="square-md me-1"
>
Primary
</MDBBtn>
<MDBBtn
outline
color="secondary"
rippleColor="dark"
className="square-md me-1"
>
Secondary
</MDBBtn>
<MDBBtn
outline
color="success"
rippleColor="dark"
className="square-md me-1"
>
Success
</MDBBtn>
<MDBBtn
outline
color="danger"
rippleColor="dark"
className="square-md me-1"
>
Danger
</MDBBtn>
<MDBBtn

rippleColor="dark"
className="square-md me-1"

Warning
</MDBBtn>
<MDBBtn

Disabled state
Make buttons look inactive by adding the disabled
boolean attribute to any
<MDBBtn>
element. Disabled buttons have
pointer-events: none
applied to, preventing hover and active states from
triggering.
import React from "react";
import { MDBBtn } from "mdb-react-ui-kit";
export default function App() {
return (
<>
<MDBBtn className="me-2 square-lg" disabled>
Primary button
</MDBBtn>
<MDBBtn className="square-lg" color="secondary" disabled>
Button
</MDBBtn>
</>
);
}
.square-lg {
width: 150px !important;
max-width: 100% !important;
max-height: 100% !important;
height: 150px !important;
text-align: center;
padding: 0px;
font-size: 18px;
}
Toggle states
Add toggle
property to toggle a button’s active state. If you’re pre-toggling a button, you must manually add the property
.
import React from "react";
import { MDBBtn } from "mdb-react-ui-kit";
export default function App() {
return (
<>
<MDBBtn className="square-lg" toggle>
Toggle button
</MDBBtn>
<MDBBtn className="mx-2 square-lg" toggle active>
Active toggle button
</MDBBtn>
<MDBBtn className="square-lg" toggle disabled>
Disabled toggle button
</MDBBtn>
</>
);
}
.square-lg {
width: 150px !important;
max-width: 100% !important;
max-height: 100% !important;
height: 150px !important;
text-align: center;
padding: 0px;
font-size: 18px;
}
