ember install ember-stylish-buttons

Usage

<StylishButton @type="winona" @border="thin" @shape="round-s" @text="Open Project" />
 
<StylishButton @type="wayra" @border="thick" @upperCase={{true}} @size="s">Remove</StylishButton>

Adding click events

To attach an event handler to the StylishButton component, we can use the on modifier. Since Modifiers can also be applied to components, they are also passed forward and applied to the button element with ...attributes as mentioned in the guides.

<StylishButton @type="winona" @border="thin" @shape="round-s" @text="Open Project" {{on "click" this.updateValue }}/>

Configuring

Add a configuration for ember-stylish-buttons to include only the themes that you will use.

ENV['ember-stylish-buttons'] = {
  includedThemes: ['winona', 'ujarak', 'shikoba'],
  excludedThemes: ['wapasha'],
  excludeBaseStyles: false, // defaults to false
  defaultTheme: 'winona',    // defaults to 'winona'
};

To exclude or not include a theme, means that it's css styles will not be bundled with your application, thus not polluting your app.

Note: including a blank array e.g. includeThemes: [] will not include any themes, leaving you to define your own theme styles. See the vendor/ember-stylish-buttons/themes directory for reference.

Note: you may also want to set excludeBaseStyles: true so that this addon doesn't include the styles used by all the themes.

A big Thanks to Ilya Radchenko for making this configuration possible to have a small memory footprint of css in your app when you are using the addon.
