A2uiBasicCatalogV1.Button

interface A2uiBasicCatalogV1.Button : A2uiComponent


The A2UI "Button" component for clickable buttons that dispatch actions.

Schema Properties:

  • accessibility (Dynamic Custom, optional): Accessibility attributes for the button.

  • weight (Number, optional): The relative weight of the component within a Row or Column. May only be set when the component is a direct descendant of a Row or Column. See WeightProperty.

  • checks (Dynamic Custom, optional): Client-side check validation rules for the button. See CheckRule.

  • child (Component ID String, required): The ID of the child component inside the button (e.g., a "Text" or "Icon" component).

  • variant (String Enum, optional): A hint for the button style. This is a static configuration and does not support dynamic data bindings. Valid options: "default", "primary", "borderless". Defaults to "default".

  • action (Action Object, required): The action payload dispatched when the button is clicked.

Public functions

A2uiComponentScope.Content

@Composable
open fun A2uiComponentScope.Content(
    properties: A2uiComponentProperties,
    modifier: Modifier
): Unit

Emits the UI for this component.

This function is invoked within the A2uiComponentScope, which provides access to extensions for evaluating reactive data bindings, rendering nested children, dispatching user actions, and reporting runtime errors.

Parameters
properties: A2uiComponentProperties

The stable properties wrapper from which to extract static payloads or bind dynamic data paths.

modifier: Modifier

The Modifier applied to the root of this component's layout.

A2uiComponentScope.TypedContent

@Composable
fun A2uiComponentScope.TypedContent(
    childId: String,
    variant: A2uiBasicCatalogV1.Button.Variant,
    action: Map<StringAny?>,
    accessibility: A2uiBasicCatalogV1.AccessibilityAttributes?,
    checks: List<A2uiBasicCatalogV1.CheckRule>,
    modifier: Modifier
): Unit

Renders the Button with its resolved property values.

Parameters
childId: String

ID of the child component to render inside this button

variant: A2uiBasicCatalogV1.Button.Variant

Variant visual style variant of the button

action: Map<StringAny?>

action payload Map dispatched when clicked

accessibility: A2uiBasicCatalogV1.AccessibilityAttributes?

accessibility attributes for the button

checks: List<A2uiBasicCatalogV1.CheckRule>

validation rules for this button. When any CheckRule.condition is false, the button implementation should indicate an error state or disable action dispatch. See CheckRule.

modifier: Modifier

Modifier to apply to the layout

A2uiComponentScope.isReady

@Composable
open fun A2uiComponentScope.isReady(properties: A2uiComponentProperties): Boolean

Determines whether this component is ready to be rendered.

This is evaluated during component state resolution to determine if the component should transition from the androidx.a2ui.compose.runtime.A2uiComponentState.Loading state to the androidx.a2ui.compose.runtime.A2uiComponentState.Success state. The readiness is automatically re-evaluated when any reactive state read in this composable function changes (such as dynamic data bindings observed via properties.bind(...)).

By default, components are considered instantly ready. Override this method to support progressive rendering—for example, returning false until a required dynamic data binding (like an image URL or text string) has been successfully resolved from the surface's data model.

Parameters
properties: A2uiComponentProperties

The stable properties wrapper provided by the A2UI protocol.

Returns
Boolean

true if the component is fully ready to be composed, false if it is still loading.

Public properties

description

open val descriptionString

A semantic description of the component's behavior and purpose.

This is included in the generated schema to help the agent understand when and how it should output this component.

name

open val nameString

The unique string identifier for this component type (e.g., "Text", "Button").

This matches the "component" field in the A2UI protocol's component payloads and is used by the framework to route incoming payloads to this specific implementation.

Note: This name must be unique within an A2uiCatalog.

properties

open val propertiesList<A2uiProperty<*>>

The list of typed properties expected by this component.

The properties serve two purposes:

  1. To automatically generate the component's JSON schema for the agent.

  2. To serve as type-safe tokens for extracting payloads or resolving dynamic data bindings from A2uiComponentProperties at runtime.
