Button Icon position to the left side

See original GitHub issue

Right now all button icons being shown together with a text on left or right side. Is there any way to make it on left side?

I have tried to use iconContainerStyle to make it position absolute but it didn’t do anything.

Thank you

@iRoachie, Sorry, but I think adding a margin is not a solution. I also come around in the same issue and solve with position have a look at below fix.

containerStyle={{position: 'relative'}}
iconContainerStyle={{position: 'absolute', left: 10}}

Ohh sorry, misread. There’s no way to only move the icon left and not affect other components inside. Button uses flexbox with justify-content: center to align the elements inside the button to the center.

Most you can do is justify-content: space-between or justify-content: flex-start. But this will move both the title and icon.

space-between

<Button
  title="Icon"
  icon={{ name: 'check-circle', color: '#fff' }}
  buttonStyle={{ justifyContent: 'space-between' }}
/>

flex-start

<Button
  title="Icon"
  icon={{ name: 'check-circle', color: '#fff' }}
  buttonStyle={{ justifyContent: 'flex-start' }}
/>

If your button has a set width you can hack around with the margin.

<Button
  title="Icon"
  icon={{ name: 'check-circle', color: '#fff' }}
  iconContainerStyle={{marginRight: 50 }}
  buttonStyle={{ justifyContent: 'flex-start', width: 200 }}
/>
