## Text Button
:::tip
Text button has been upgraded with a new design since 2.2.0 , if you want to use the
previous version like button, you might want to check [Link](./link.md#basic) out.
The API is also updated, because the `type` attribute also represents the button's style. So we have to make a new API
`text: boolean` for text button.
