Commonly used Buttons in VBCS

Button is element for user to interact. On button click we can call some rest API or show some message.

<oj-button label="Download" >
</oj-button>

Here are few buttons which I regularly use

Code for button with icon

<oj-button label="Download" >
    <span class="oj-ux-ico-download" slot="startIcon"></span>
</oj-button>

Toolbar buttons Add row, Edit Row, Delete Row buttons ( generally used above a table or for each loop )

<div class="oj-flex">
  <oj-toolbar chroming="solid" class="oj-flex-item oj-sm-12 oj-md-12">
    <oj-button label="Add" class="oj-button-sm">
      <span class="oj-ux-ico-plus" slot="startIcon"></span>
    </oj-button>
    <oj-button label="Edit" class="oj-button-sm">
      <span class="oj-ux-ico-edit" slot="startIcon"></span>
    </oj-button>
    <oj-button label="Delete" class="oj-button-sm">
      <span class="oj-ux-ico-trash" slot="startIcon"></span>
    </oj-button>
  </oj-toolbar>
</div>

Save and cancel button in dialog box

<oj-dialog dialog-title="Dialog" id="add-dialog" initial-visibility="show">
  <div slot="body">
    <div class="oj-flex">
      <div class="oj-flex-item oj-sm-12 oj-md-12">
        <oj-form-layout>
          <oj-input-text label-hint="Text"></oj-input-text>
        </oj-form-layout>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div slot="footer">
    <oj-button label="Save" class="oj-button-sm" chroming="callToAction">
      <span class="oj-ux-ico-save" slot="startIcon"></span>
    </oj-button>
    <oj-button label="Cancel" class="oj-button-sm">
      <span class="oj-ux-ico-close" slot="startIcon"></span>
    </oj-button>
  </div>
</oj-dialog>

Close button ( for message only dialog box )

<oj-dialog dialog-title="Dialog" id="add-dialog" initial-visibility="show">
  <div slot="body">
    <div class="oj-flex">
      <div class="oj-flex-item oj-sm-12 oj-md-12">
        Form Submitted successfully.
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div slot="footer">
    <oj-button label="Close" class="oj-button-sm">
      <span class="oj-ux-ico-close" slot="startIcon"></span>
    </oj-button>
  </div>
</oj-dialog>

Inline action items of table ( to provide inline edit or inline delete or to view more details )

<div class="oj-flex">
  <oj-table scroll-policy="loadMoreOnScroll" class="oj-flex-item oj-sm-12 oj-md-12"
    data="[[$variables.employeeListSDP]]"
    columns='[{"headerText":"Id","field":"id"},{"headerText":"empNumber","field":"empNumber"},{"headerText":"empName","field":"empName"},{"headerText":"Action","field":"","template":"Action"}]'>
    <template slot="Action">
      <oj-button label="Edit" class="oj-button-sm">
        <span class="oj-ux-ico-edit" slot="startIcon"></span>
      </oj-button>
      <oj-button label="Delete" class="oj-button-sm">
        <span class="oj-ux-ico-trash" slot="startIcon"></span>
      </oj-button>
    </template>
  </oj-table>
</div>

For inline navigation to a different page give link instead of button

<div class="oj-flex">
  <oj-table scroll-policy="loadMoreOnScroll" class="oj-flex-item oj-sm-12 oj-md-12"
    data="[[$variables.employeeListSDP]]"
    columns='[{"headerText":"Id","field":"id"},{"headerText":"empNumber","field":"empNumber"},{"headerText":"empName","field":"empName"},{"headerText":"departmentNumber","field":"departmentNumber"},{"headerText":"departmentNumberObject","template":"department"}]'>
    <template slot="department">
      <oj-bind-if test="[[ $current.row.departmentNumberObject.count > 0 ]]">
        <a target="_blank" class="oj-link">
          <oj-bind-text value="[[$current.row.departmentNumberObject.items[0].name]]"></oj-bind-text>
        </a>
      </oj-bind-if>
    </template>
  </oj-table>
</div>

In Form Save Cancel buttons ( Don’t give reset here ) as forms could be long and accidently clicking will remove all data

<div class="oj-flex">
  <div class="oj-flex-item oj-sm-12 oj-md-4">
    <oj-form-layout class="oj-formlayout-full-width" direction="row" label-edge="inside" columns="2"   label-width="45%" user-assistance-density="compact">
      <oj-label-value colspan="2" label-edge="start">
        <oj-label for="name-input" slot="label">Name</oj-label>
        <oj-input-text id="name-input" slot="value" ></oj-input-text>
      </oj-label-value>
      <oj-label-value colspan="2" label-edge="start">
        <oj-label for="city-input" slot="label">City</oj-label>
        <oj-input-text id="city-input" slot="value" "></oj-input-text>
      </oj-label-value>
      <oj-button label="Save" class="oj-button-sm oj-button-full-width">
        <span class="oj-ux-ico-save" slot="startIcon"></span>
      </oj-button>
      <oj-button label="Cancel" class="oj-button-sm oj-button-full-width">
        <span class="oj-ux-ico-close" slot="startIcon"></span>
      </oj-button>
    </oj-form-layout>
  </div>
</div>

In Search ( Search, Reset, Cancel ) ( Reset should reset the form to how it is shown on page load )

<div class="oj-flex">
  <div class="oj-flex-item oj-sm-12 oj-md-4">
    <oj-form-layout class="oj-formlayout-full-width" direction="row" label-edge="inside"
