Button group
Group a series of buttons together on a single line or stack them in a vertical column.
Basic example
Wrap a series of buttons with .btn
in .btn-group
.
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Basic example">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Left</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Middle</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Right</button>
</div>
role
attribute and explicit label to ensure assistive technologies like screen readers identify buttons as grouped and announce them. Use role="group"
for button groups or role="toolbar"
for button toolbars. Then use aria-label
oder aria-labelledby
to label them.
These classes can also be added to groups of links, as an alternative to the .nav
navigation components.
<div class="btn-group">
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary active" aria-current="page">Active link</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Link</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Link</a>
</div>
Mixed styles
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Basic mixed styles example">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger">Left</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-warning">Middle</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success">Right</button>
</div>
Outlined styles
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Basic outlined example">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary">Left</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary">Middle</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary">Right</button>
</div>
Checkbox and radio button groups
Combine button-like checkbox and radio toggle buttons into a seamless looking button group.
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Basic checkbox toggle button group">
<input type="checkbox" class="btn-check" id="btncheck1" autocomplete="off">
<label class="btn btn-outline-primary" for="btncheck1">Checkbox 1</label>
<input type="checkbox" class="btn-check" id="btncheck2" autocomplete="off">
<label class="btn btn-outline-primary" for="btncheck2">Checkbox 2</label>
<input type="checkbox" class="btn-check" id="btncheck3" autocomplete="off">
<label class="btn btn-outline-primary" for="btncheck3">Checkbox 3</label>
</div>
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Basic radio toggle button group">
<input type="radio" class="btn-check" name="btnradio" id="btnradio1" autocomplete="off" checked>
<label class="btn btn-outline-primary" for="btnradio1">Radio 1</label>
<input type="radio" class="btn-check" name="btnradio" id="btnradio2" autocomplete="off">
<label class="btn btn-outline-primary" for="btnradio2">Radio 2</label>
<input type="radio" class="btn-check" name="btnradio" id="btnradio3" autocomplete="off">
<label class="btn btn-outline-primary" for="btnradio3">Radio 3</label>
</div>
Button toolbar
Combine sets of button groups into button toolbars for more complex components. Use utility classes as needed to space out groups, buttons, and more.
<div class="btn-toolbar" role="toolbar" aria-label="Toolbar with button groups">
<div class="btn-group me-2" role="group" aria-label="First group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">1</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">2</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">3</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">4</button>
</div>
<div class="btn-group me-2" role="group" aria-label="Second group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">5</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">6</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">7</button>
</div>
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Third group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-info">8</button>
</div>
</div>
Feel free to mix input groups with button groups in your toolbars. Similar to the example above, you’ll likely need some utilities though to space things properly.
<div class="btn-toolbar mb-3" role="toolbar" aria-label="Toolbar with button groups">
<div class="btn-group me-2" role="group" aria-label="First group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">1</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">2</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">3</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">4</button>
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<div class="input-group-text" id="btnGroupAddon">@</div>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Input group example" aria-label="Input group example" aria-describedby="btnGroupAddon">
</div>
</div>
<div class="btn-toolbar justify-content-between" role="toolbar" aria-label="Toolbar with button groups">
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="First group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">1</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">2</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">3</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">4</button>
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<div class="input-group-text" id="btnGroupAddon2">@</div>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Input group example" aria-label="Input group example" aria-describedby="btnGroupAddon2">
</div>
</div>
Sizing
Instead of applying button sizing classes to every button in a group, just add .btn-group-*
to each .btn-group
, including each one when nesting multiple groups.
<div class="btn-group btn-group-lg" role="group" aria-label="Large button group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary">Left</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary">Middle</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary">Right</button>
</div>
<br>
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Default button group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary">Left</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary">Middle</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary">Right</button>
</div>
<br>
<div class="btn-group btn-group-sm" role="group" aria-label="Small button group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary">Left</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary">Middle</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary">Right</button>
</div>
Nesting
Place a .btn-group
within another .btn-group
when you want dropdown menus mixed with a series of buttons.
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Button group with nested dropdown">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">1</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">2</button>
<div class="btn-group" role="group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
Dropdown
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown link</a></li>
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown link</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
Vertical variation
Make a set of buttons appear vertically stacked rather than horizontally. Split button dropdowns are not supported here.
<div class="btn-group-vertical" role="group" aria-label="Vertical button group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Button</button>
</div>
<div class="btn-group-vertical" role="group" aria-label="Vertical button group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Button</button>
<div class="btn-group" role="group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
Dropdown
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown link</a></li>
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown link</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="btn-group dropstart" role="group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
Dropdown
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown link</a></li>
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown link</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="btn-group dropend" role="group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">

<ul class="dropdown-menu">

<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown link</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="btn-group-vertical" role="group" aria-label="Vertical radio toggle button group">
<input type="radio" class="btn-check" name="vbtn-radio" id="vbtn-radio1" autocomplete="off" checked>
