#Am I using this HTML attribute correctly in TypeScript?

Your usage of HTML attributes in your Astro button component with TypeScript is correct and follows recommended patterns from the Astro documentation.
Key points from your code:
-
You extend
HTMLAttributes<any>in yourPropsinterface, which allows your component to accept any valid HTML attribute (likeid,aria-label, etc.) and pass them through to the rendered element. This is the recommended way to ensure your component supports standard HTML attributes, as shown in the Astro docs:import type { HTMLAttributes } from "astro/types"; type Props = HTMLAttributes<"a">; // ... const { href, ...attrs } = Astro.props; <a href={href} {...attrs}>...</a> -
You destructure your custom props and collect the rest into
...attrs, which you then spread onto your<a>or<button>element. This ensures that any additional attributes (likeid,aria-label, etc.) are passed through correctly. -
You handle the
classprop by renaming it tocustomClass(sinceclassis a reserved word in JS), and then apply it to your element, which is also the recommended approach in Astro:const { class: className, ...rest } = Astro.props; <div class={className} {...rest}>...</div>
Summary:
Your code correctly supports passing standard HTML attributes (like id, aria-label, etc.) to your button component, and your TypeScript usage is in line with Astro’s best practices. You can safely use your component like this:
<Button id="my-btn" aria-label="Close" variant="primary">Close</Button>
and those attributes will be applied to the rendered <button> or <a> element.
