  <n-space>
    <n-button :loading="loading" @click="handleClick">
      Submit
    </n-button>
    <n-button :loading="loading" @click="handleClick">

        <n-icon><CashIcon /></n-icon>
      </template>
      With Icon
    </n-button>
  </n-space>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'

const loading = ref(false)

const handleClick = () => {
  loading.value = true
  setTimeout(() => {
    loading.value = false
  }, 2000)
}
</script>
```

### Icon Buttons

```vue
<template>
  <n-space>
    <!-- Using render-icon prop -->
    <n-button :render-icon="renderIcon">
      +100$
    </n-button>
    
    <!-- Using icon slot -->
    <n-button icon-placement="right">
      <template #icon>
        <n-icon><CashIcon /></n-icon>
      </template>
      Right Icon
    </n-button>
    
    <!-- Circle icon button -->
    <n-button circle>
      <template #icon>
        <n-icon><CashIcon /></n-icon>
      </template>
    </n-button>
  </n-space>
</template>

    text
    tag="a"
    href="https://example.com"
    target="_blank"
    type="primary"

    <n-form-item>
      <n-space>
        <n-button type="primary" attr-type="submit">
          Submit
        </n-button>
        <n-button attr-type="reset">
          Reset
        </n-button>
      </n-space>
    </n-form-item>
  </n-form>
</template>

## Best Practices

1. **Use semantic types**: Use appropriate type for different actions
   - `primary` for main actions
   - `error` or `warning` for destructive actions
   - `default` for secondary actions

2. **Provide feedback**: Use loading state for async operations
   ```vue
   <n-button :loading="submitting" @click="handleSubmit">
     Submit
   </n-button>
   ```

3. **Accessibility**: Add aria-label for icon-only buttons
   ```vue
   <n-button circle aria-label="Add item">
     <template #icon>
       <n-icon><AddIcon /></n-icon>
     </template>
   </n-button>
   ```

4. **Consistent sizing**: Use consistent sizes within the same context

5. **Button groups**: Use ButtonGroup for related actions

6. **Disabled state with tooltip**: Use `tag="div"` when you need tooltip on disabled button

7. **Icon placement**: Use `icon-placement` prop to position icons

8. **Custom colors**: Use `color` and `text-color` props for brand-specific styling
