```

## Examples

### Sizes

Use the `size` prop to change the size of the button.

<ExampleTabs name="button-with-sizes" />

### Variants

Use the `variant` prop to change the visual style of the Button.

### Disabled

Use the `disabled` prop to disable the button.

### Disabled Link

When using the `disabled` prop with a link, you need to prevent the default
behavior of the link and add the `data-disabled` attribute.

<ExampleTabs name="button-with-disabled-link" />

### Loading

Pass the `loading` and `loadingText` props to the `Button` component to show a
loading spinner and add a loading text.

<ExampleTabs name="button-with-loading" />

Here's an example of how to toggle the loading state of a button while keeping
the width of the button the same.

you pass common recipe properties to inner buttons.

To flush the buttons, pass the `attached` prop.

<ExampleTabs name="button-with-group-flushed" />

### Radius

  return <Button ref={ref}>Click me</Button>
}
```
