# EuiIconButtonComponent

**Type:** component



A clickable button component that displays only an icon without text. Provides visual feedback states and supports various sizing and styling options. Commonly used in toolbars, navigation bars, and compact UI layouts where space is limited.

### Basic icon button
```html
<eui-icon-button
  icon="edit"
  ariaLabel="Edit item"
  (buttonClick)="onEdit()">
</eui-icon-button>
```

### With state variant
```html
<eui-icon-button
  icon="delete"
  euiDanger
  size="l"
  ariaLabel="Delete item">
</eui-icon-button>
```

### Accessibility
- Always provide descriptive `ariaLabel` for screen readers
- Button is keyboard accessible via Tab and Enter/Space
- Focus states are clearly visible

### Notes
- Use `hasNoPadding` for compact layouts or icon-only toolbars
- Apply `euiRounded` for circular button shape
- Set `euiDisabled` to prevent interaction
- Choose between `hasFocusHoverColor` and `hasFocusHoverBg` for hover effects
