Fixes #52

Description
This PR resolves the issue where the Button component was throwing a warning about refs not being handled properly. The warning occurred because the Button component was not wrapped in React.forwardRef, which is required for function components to accept refs.

Changes Made

  • Updated the Button component to use React.forwardRef.
  • Added a displayName to the Button component for better debugging and developer experience.

How to test

  1. Use the Button component in a context where a ref is passed to it (e.g., inside TooltipProvider or similar).
  2. Run the application.
  3. Verify that the warning no longer appears in the console.
