# IconButton

The IconButton component is a versatile button that allows you to combine an icon with a text label. It is designed for use in situations where you want to display an icon along with some text in a single clickable element.

## Live Example

<StoryWithControls
  component="IconButton"
  props={{
    buttonText: 'IconButton',
    altText: 'Icon button alt text',
    padded: true,
    icon: 'https://superset.apache.org/img/superset-logo-horiz.svg',
  }}
  controls={[
    {
      name: 'buttonText',
      label: 'Button Text',
      type: 'text',
      description: 'The text inside the button.',
    },
    {
      name: 'altText',
      label: 'Alt Text',
      type: 'text',
      description:
        'The alt text for the button. If not provided, the button text is used as the alt text by default.',
    },
    {
      name: 'padded',
      label: 'Padded',
      type: 'boolean',
      description: 'Add padding between icon and button text.',
    },
    {
      name: 'icon',
      label: 'Icon',
      type: 'text',
      description: 'Icon inside the button (URL or path).',
    },
  ]}
/>

## Try It

```tsx live
function Demo() {

    <IconButton
