Similar to this issue, the Apply Filters button in the Filter component should be able to have custom classes applied to it.
Motivation
Most other components offer the ability to add extra classes by providing a classes parameter when instantiating including the govUkButton component which is being used under the hood in the moj filter component. This is useful for extending styling without overwriting default implementation (for instance, by providing a modifier class to create a bespoke theme).
The Filter component does not allow a custom button class to be passed through to the govUkButton component used to apply the filter.
Describe alternatives you've considered
At the moment, it seems the only way would be to tweak the styling of the gov uk button on the page it is used:
App css:
.govuk-button {
custom styles
}
which is very undesirable as it would affect all buttons on the page and could be hidden from future developers working on the page.
Otherwise we would have to avoid using nunjucks and simply write the HTML with custom classes ourselves.
