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>

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

Active link Link Link

<div class="btn-group">
    <a href="javascript: void(0);" class="btn btn-primary active" aria-current="page">Active link</a>
    <a href="javascript: void(0);" class="btn btn-primary">Link</a>
    <a href="javascript: void(0);" class="btn btn-primary">Link</a>
</div>

Outlined styles

Use .btn-outline-* class within the buttons.

<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.

Checkbox 1 Checkbox 2 Checkbox 3

<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Basic checkbox toggle button group">
    <input type="checkbox" class="btn-check" id="btncheck1">
    <label class="btn btn-outline-primary" for="btncheck1">Checkbox 1</label>
  
    <input type="checkbox" class="btn-check" id="btncheck2">
    <label class="btn btn-outline-primary" for="btncheck2">Checkbox 2</label>
  
    <input type="checkbox" class="btn-check" id="btncheck3">
    <label class="btn btn-outline-primary" for="btncheck3">Checkbox 3</label>
</div>

Radio 1 Radio 2 Radio 3

<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Basic radio toggle button group">
    <input type="radio" class="btn-check" name="btnradio" id="btnradio1" checked>
    <label class="btn btn-outline-primary" for="btnradio1">Radio 1</label>
  
    <input type="radio" class="btn-check" name="btnradio" id="btnradio2">
    <label class="btn btn-outline-primary" for="btnradio2">Radio 2</label>
  
    <input type="radio" class="btn-check" name="btnradio" id="btnradio3">
    <label class="btn btn-outline-primary" for="btnradio3">Radio 3</label>
</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-secondary">Left</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">Middle</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">Right</button>
</div>
<br>
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Default button group">
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">Left</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">Middle</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">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-secondary">Left</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">Middle</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">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="javascript: void(0);">Dropdown link</a></li>
            <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="javascript: void(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-dark">Button</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-dark">Button</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-dark">Button</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-dark">Button</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-dark">Button</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-dark">Button</button>
</div>
