Component: [`<Action>`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/components/action.md) · Renders: `<button>` · Profile: [UI](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md)

## Example

  vars={{ '--choice-color': color.value }}
  label={color.name}
  icon={null}
  pressed={color.value === selected}
/>
```

## Choosing between neighbours

Find the row that describes your element, and use the intent on the right.

| If it is for… | Use |
|---|---|
| Picks a colour from presets. Pass the colour as vars={{ "--choice-color": value }} and pressed on the chosen one | `choice.color` (this page) |
| Named options like light or dark | [`choice.option`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/choice/option.md) |

## Connections

Declared in the registry, both directions. Where an intent is used in your own code is something check and the gallery see; this site has no app code.

## For registry authors

**Starter intents.** These are the intents `prongs add` puts in your registry, shown in this site’s theme. Yours are your own `registry.ts`: rename, restyle and add to them, and see them with `prongs add gallery`.

What this intent is built from and its entry in `components/prongs/registry.ts`. You only need this to change how it looks or to add an intent like it.

How choice.color resolves, and its definition

Each layer adds to the one before it; a later class wins over an earlier one that sets the same thing.
