Button Group
Bootstrap 5 Button Group component
Responsive button group built with the latest Bootstrap 5. Button group wraps a series of buttons together into a single line (navbar} or stack in a vertical column. Many examples and simple tutorials.
Group a series of buttons together on a single line with the button group.
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>
Ensure correct role and provide a label:
In order for assistive technologies (such as screen readers) to convey that a series of
buttons is grouped, an appropriate role attribute needs to be provided. For
button groups, this would be role="group", while toolbars should have a
role="toolbar".
In addition, groups and toolbars should be given an explicit label, as most assistive
technologies will otherwise not announce them, despite the presence of the correct role
attribute. In the examples provided here, we use
aria-label, but alternatives such as aria-labelledby can also be
used.
These classes can also be added to links. Use the .active class to highlight a
link.
<div class="btn-group">
<a href="#!" class="btn btn-primary active">Active link</a>
<a href="#!" class="btn btn-primary">Link</a>
<a href="#!" class="btn btn-primary">Link</a>
</div>
Outlined styles
Use the following button styles to show the colors only for the border of the element.
<div class="btn-group shadow-0" role="group" aria-label="Basic example">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary" data-mdb-color="dark">Left</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary" data-mdb-color="dark">Middle</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary" data-mdb-color="dark">Right</button>
</div>
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-primary">5</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">6</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">7</button>
</div>
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Third group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">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-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="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-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="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.
<!-- Large -->
<div class="btn-group btn-group-lg" 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>
<!-- Standard -->
<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>
<!-- Small -->
<div class="btn-group btn-group-sm" 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>
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
id="btnGroupDrop1"
type="button"
class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle"
data-mdb-toggle="dropdown"
aria-expanded="false"
>
Dropdown
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="btnGroupDrop1">
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown link</a></li>
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown link</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</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>
