github-buttons

Usage

Use as a Snippet

Get started quickly with github:button configurator.

Use as a Component

• vue-github-button for Vue
• react-github-btn for React

Use as a Module

import { render } from 'github-buttons'

// export function render(options: object, callback: (el: HTMLElement) => void): void;
render(options, function (el) {
  document.body.appendChild(el) 
})

// export function render(anchor: HTMLAnchorElement, callback: (el: HTMLElement) => void): void;
render(anchor, function (el) {
  anchor.parentNode.replaceChild(el, anchor)
})

Options

• For snippet usage, an option is an attribute on <a> element.
• For component usage, an option is a prop on component.
• For module usage, an option is a property on options object.

href

• Type: string
• Default: '#'

Assign href attribute (GitHub link) for button.

title

• Type: string
• Default: undefined

Assign title attribute for button.

data-icon

• Type: string
• Default: 'octicon-mark-github'

Set icon on button. A subset of Octicons is bundled.

data-color-scheme

• Type: string
• Default: undefined

Define a mapping of system color scheme to widget color scheme in css-like syntax.

This is an opt-in feature since version >=2.3.0. It means if data-color-scheme is undefined, it would still behave like version <2.3.0, where light color scheme is used under all conditions.

Once data-color-scheme is set to a string, it will inherit the default mapping: no-preference: light; light: light; dark: dark;.

• no-preference: light; means when system has no preference on color scheme, light color scheme will be used.
• light: light; means when system prefers light color scheme, light color scheme will be used.
• dark: dark; means when system prefers dark color scheme, dark color scheme will be used.

User declarations would override the default. For example:

• To enable color scheme using default, set data-color-scheme="".
• To use dark color scheme when system has no preference, set data-color-scheme="no-preference: dark;".
• To force light color scheme everywhere, set data-color-scheme="dark: light;".
• To force dark color scheme everywhere, set data-color-scheme="no-preference: dark; light: dark;".

A single word can be used to force the color scheme everywhere since version >=2.11.0. For example:

• To force light color scheme everywhere, set data-color-scheme="light".
• To force dark color scheme everywhere, set data-color-scheme="dark".

data-size

• Type: string
• Default: undefined

Set button size. Possible values are undefined and 'large'.

data-show-count

• Type: boolean
• Default: false

Show a dynamic count based on button type (detected from href):

• https://github.com/:user (follow)
• https://github.com/:user/:repo (star)
• https://github.com/:user/:repo/subscription (watch)
• https://github.com/:user/:repo/fork (fork)
• https://github.com/:user/:repo/issues (issues)
• https://github.com/:user/:repo/issues/new (issues)

Tailing slash, query string, and hash in the href won't affect type detection:

• https://github.com/:user/ (follow)
• https://github.com/:user?tab=repositories (follow)
• https://github.com/:user/:repo#readme (star)
• https://github.com/:user/:repo/#readme (star)

data-text

• Type: string
• Default: undefined

Set button text. When button is generated from <a> element and data-text is undefined, the button text will be anchor's textContent.

aria-label

• Type: string
• Default: undefined

Set aira-label for button.
