})

Use as a Component

Options

These options are the same for all the use cases described above:

Attribute	Description
href	GitHub link for the button.
title	title attribute for the button's rendered element.
data-icon	octicon-mark-github by default. A subset of Octicons is bundled.
data-size	None by default or large.
data-show-count	false by default or true. The dynamic count is generated based on detected button type.
data-text	Text displayed on the button. It defaults to the text content within the link.
aria-label	Aira label for the button link.

Built-in Button Types

Button type is detected from href.

• https://github.com/:user (follow)
• https://github.com/:user/:repo (star)
• https://github.com/:user/:repo/subscription (watch)
• https://github.com/:user/:repo/fork (fork)
• https://github.com/:user/:repo/issues (issues)
• https://github.com/:user/:repo/issues/new (issues)

Tailing slash, query string, and hash in the href won't affect type detection.
