JavaScript/jQuery Button - Icons

To add an icon to a JavaScript Button, set the icon property. This demo shows how you can use this property.

Backend API
$(() => { $('#icon-done').dxButton({ icon: 'check', type: 'success', text: 'Done', onClick() { DevExpress.ui.notify('The Done button was clicked'); }, }); $('#icon-weather').dxButton({ icon: '../../../../images/icons/weather.png', text: 'Weather', onClick() { DevExpress.ui.notify('The Weather button was clicked'); }, }); $('#icon-send').dxButton({ icon: 'fa fa-envelope-o', text: 'Send', onClick() { DevExpress.ui.notify('The Send button was clicked'); }, }); $('#icon-plus').dxButton({ icon: 'plus', onClick() { DevExpress.ui.notify('The button was clicked'); }, }); $('#icon-back').dxButton({ icon: 'back', onClick() { DevExpress.ui.notify('The button was clicked'); }, }); $('#icon-disabled-done').dxButton({ icon: 'check', type: 'success', text: 'Done', disabled: true, }); $('#icon-disabled-weather').dxButton({ icon: '../../../../images/icons/weather.png', text: 'Weather', disabled: true, }); $('#icon-disabled-send').dxButton({ icon: 'fa fa-envelope-o', text: 'Send', disabled: true, }); $('#icon-disabled-plus').dxButton({ icon: 'plus', disabled: true, }); $('#icon-disabled-back').dxButton({ icon: 'back', disabled: true, }); });

  • Built-in icons
    DevExtreme ships with its own icon library. Pick any icon and assign its name to the icon property.

  • Image file
    Set the icon value to the image file path or URI.

  • 3rd-party icon fonts
    You can import a 3rd-party font library (this example uses Font Awesome). In such cases, set the icon property to a name that identifies the required glyph. Look up names in the imported library's documentation.

  • Buttons with icons and no caption text
    Define the icon, but do not define the text property. You can use the hint property to annotate the button.

Refer to the Icons help topic for additional information.
