To configure a button in SwiftUI, you can use the Button view, which is a fundamental component in SwiftUI. A button in SwiftUI is composed of two main parts: an action and a label. The action is a closure that defines what happens when the button is tapped, and the label is a view that describes the button's purpose.

Here's a basic example of how to create a button in SwiftUI:

Button(action: {
    // Define the action to perform when the button is tapped
    print("Button tapped!")
}) {
    // Define the label for the button
    Text("Tap Me")
}

In this example, the button will print "Button tapped!" to the console when it is tapped. The label of the button is a Text view displaying "Tap Me".

SwiftUI buttons are adaptive and can be customized using various modifiers to fit different styles and contexts. For more detailed information on buttons and other controls in SwiftUI, you can refer to the session SwiftUI essentials, which covers the adaptivity and customization of views in SwiftUI.
