# UI Components

### States

If we are creating new content component and extends Component from substance we are getting state handling right out of the box. The different states we have more general, selected and focused. With this we can render different content and style based of that. A good example of component are the Image component in the content area.

![Default state](/files/-LouDksaLQO-NeYvlxSe)

![Focus and selected state](/files/-LouDpGIMg7cYhJA3HCy)

```javascript
import {Component} from "substance"

class MyComponent extends Component {

    render($$) {
        // Default things
    
        const nodeState = this.props.isolatedNodeState

        if (nodeState === 'focused' || nodeState === 'selected') {
            // Present this
        } 
        else {
            // Do something else
        }
    }
}
```

### Components styles

We have introduced kebab casing (primary-small-disabled) naming convention for the latest of our components for give the component different styles. In that way it's easy to add and remove styles without extending the component props list and keep it more slim and readable. 

```javascript
$$(UIButton, {
    'type': 'primary-small'
})
```

See more example for UIButton and UIChip below.

## UIButton

For technical implementation see [UI Components: UIButton](/writer/6.0.0-1/api-reference/uicomponents/uibutton.md) 

#### Type (Optional)

To give the UIButton different style you should use the property **type**. You can provide  different style with just applying different style with a "-". It doesn't matter in which order it's applied. *Default: primary*

Different styles

| Type           | Description                                                                               |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| {WRITER-COLOR} | Default, primary, alert etc.                                                              |
| outline        | Get outline version                                                                       |
| secondary      | Apply to "Cancel"-button to don't take up as much of attention as a call-to-action button |

Examples

```javascript
// Primary button
$$(UIButton, {
    type: 'primary'
})
```

![primary](/files/-LotnRgbKGMIWAU1IQfc)

```javascript
// Primary outline button
$$(UIButton, {
    type: 'outline-primary'
})
```

![primary-outline](/files/-LotnI2n7alpMWc59q2K)

```javascript
// Cancel button with 
$$(UIButton, {
    label: 'Cancel',
    type: 'default-outline-secondary'
})

// Primary button
$$(UIButton, {
    label: 'Apply',
    type: 'primary'
})
```

![default-outline-secondary, primary](/files/-LotnGnwMwjn8Go8oYNw)

#### Size (Optional)

You also have the property **size** that can determines different style to the button

| Type  | Description |
| ----- | ----------- |
| large |             |
| small |             |

```javascript
// Large
$$(UIButton, {
    label: 'Large',
    size: 'large'
})
            
// Default
$$(UIButton, {
    label: 'Default',
})

$$(UIButton, {
    label: 'Small',
    size: 'small'
})
```
