1. Button.tsx (Implementation)

import React from 'react';
import styles from './Button.module.css';

export interface ButtonProps {
  /** Button label */
  label: string;
  /** Button variant */
  variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'danger';
  /** Button size */
  size?: 'small' | 'medium' | 'large';
  /** Disabled state */
  disabled?: boolean;
  /** Click handler */
  onClick?: () => void;
}

export const Button: React.FC<ButtonProps> = ({
  label,
  variant = 'primary',
  size = 'medium',
  disabled = false,
  onClick,
}) => {
  const className = [
    styles.button,
    styles[variant],
    styles[size],
    disabled && styles.disabled,
  ].filter(Boolean).join(' ');

  return (
    <button
      className={className}
      disabled={disabled}
      onClick={onClick}
      type="button"
    >
      {label}
    </button>
  );
};

2. Button.test.tsx (Tests)

import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest';
import { render, screen, fireEvent } from '@testing-library/react';
import { Button } from './Button';

describe('Button', () => {
  it('renders with label', () => {
    render(<Button label="Click me" />);
    expect(screen.getByText('Click me')).toBeInTheDocument();
  });

  it('calls onClick when clicked', () => {
    const handleClick = vi.fn();
    render(<Button label="Click" onClick={handleClick} />);

    fireEvent.click(screen.getByText('Click'));
    expect(handleClick).toHaveBeenCalledOnce();
  });

  it('does not call onClick when disabled', () => {
    const handleClick = vi.fn();
    render(<Button label="Click" onClick={handleClick} disabled />);

    fireEvent.click(screen.getByText('Click'));
    expect(handleClick).not.toHaveBeenCalled();
  });

  it('applies variant classes correctly', () => {
    const { container } = render(<Button label="Test" variant="danger" />);
    expect(container.firstChild).toHaveClass('danger');
  });

  it('applies size classes correctly', () => {
    const { container } = render(<Button label="Test" size="large" />);
    expect(container.firstChild).toHaveClass('large');
  });
});

3. Button.stories.tsx (Storybook)

import type { Meta, StoryObj } from '@storybook/react';
import { Button } from './Button';

const meta = {
  title: 'Components/Button',
  component: Button,
  parameters: {
    layout: 'centered',
  },
  tags: ['autodocs'],
  argTypes: {
    variant: {
      control: 'select',
      options: ['primary', 'secondary', 'danger'],
    },
    size: {
      control: 'select',
      options: ['small', 'medium', 'large'],
    },
  },
} satisfies Meta<typeof Button>;

export default meta;
type Story = StoryObj<typeof meta>;

export const Primary: Story = {
  args: {
    label: 'Primary Button',
    variant: 'primary',
  },
};

export const Secondary: Story = {
  args: {
    label: 'Secondary Button',
    variant: 'secondary',
  },
};

export const Danger: Story = {
  args: {
    label: 'Danger Button',
    variant: 'danger',
  },
};

export const Small: Story = {
  args: {
    label: 'Small Button',
    size: 'small',
  },
};

export const Large: Story = {
  args: {
    label: 'Large Button',
    size: 'large',
  },
};

export const Disabled: Story = {
  args: {
    label: 'Disabled Button',
    disabled: true,
  },
};

# Button Component

Reusable button component with variants, sizes, and accessibility features.

## Usage

\`\`\`tsx
import { Button } from '@/components/Button';

function App() {
  return (
    <Button
      label="Click me"
      variant="primary"
      size="medium"
      onClick={() => console.log('Clicked!')}
    />
  );
}
\`\`\`

## Props

- `label` (string, required) - Button text
- `variant` ('primary' | 'secondary' | 'danger', default: 'primary') - Visual style
- `size` ('small' | 'medium' | 'large', default: 'medium') - Button size
- `disabled` (boolean, default: false) - Disabled state
- `onClick` (function, optional) - Click handler

## Variants

- **Primary**: Main call-to-action buttons
- **Secondary**: Less prominent actions
- **Danger**: Destructive actions (delete, remove)

## Accessibility

- Semantic `<button>` element
- Proper ARIA attributes
- Keyboard navigation support
- Disabled state handling
