import './Button.css';

const Button = ({ label }) => {
    return {label};
};

export default Button;
                

/* Button.css */
.responsive-button {
    padding: 10px 20px;
    font-size: 16px;
    border: none;
    border-radius: 5px;
    cursor: pointer;
}

@media (max-width: 600px) {
    .responsive-button {
        font-size: 14px;
        padding: 8px 16px;
    }
}
