Button group

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">One</button>
                        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Two</button>
                        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Three</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="#0" class="btn btn-primary active">Active link</a>
                        <a href="#0" class="btn btn-primary">Link</a>
                        <a href="#0" class="btn btn-primary">Link</a>
                      </div>

Outlined styles

                    
                      <div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Basic example">
                        <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary">One</button>
                        <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary">Two</button>
                        <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary">Three</button>
                      </div>

Sizes

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 me-2 mb-2" role="group" aria-label="Large button group">
                        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">One</button>
                        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Two</button>
                        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Three</button>
                      </div>
                      <div class="btn-group me-2 mb-2" role="group" aria-label="Default button group">
                        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">One</button>
                        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Two</button>
                        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Three</button>
                      </div>
                      <div class="btn-group btn-group-sm me-2 mb-2" role="group" aria-label="Small button group">
                        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">One</button>
                        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Two</button>
                        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Three</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-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
                            Dropdown
                          </button>
                          <ul class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="btnGroupDrop1">
                            <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#0">Dropdown link</a></li>
                            <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#0">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>
                        <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 id="btnGroupVerticalDrop1" type="button" class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
                            Dropdown
                          </button>
                          <ul class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="btnGroupVerticalDrop1" style="">
                            <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#0">Dropdown link</a></li>
                            <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#0">Dropdown link</a></li>
                          </ul>
                        </div>
                        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Button</button>
                        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Button</button>

                          </ul>
                        </div>
                        <div class="btn-group" role="group">
