Bootstrap 5 Button group

Button group

Group a series of Bootstrap buttons together on a single line using or stack them in a vertical column using Bootstrap button groups.

Basic example

Wrap a series of buttons with .btn in .btn-group.

html
<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>

These classes can also be added to groups of links, as an alternative to the .nav navigation components.

html
<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

html
<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

html
<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.

html
<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>
html
<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.

html
<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.

html
<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.



html
<div class="btn-group btn-group-lg" role="group" aria-label="...">...</div>
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="...">...</div>
<div class="btn-group btn-group-sm" role="group" aria-label="...">...</div>

Nesting

Place a .btn-group within another .btn-group when you want dropdown menus mixed with a series of buttons.

html
<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-bs-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>

Vertical variation

Make a set of buttons appear vertically stacked rather than horizontally. Split button dropdowns are not supported here.

html
<div class="btn-group-vertical">
  ...
</div>
