Bootstrap Button Groups


Button Groups

Bootstrap allows you to group a series of buttons together (on a single line) in a button group:

Use a <div> element with class .btn-group to create a button group:

Example

<div class="btn-group">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Apple</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Samsung</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Sony</button>
</div>

Tip: Instead of applying button sizes to every button in a group, use class .btn-group-* to size all buttons in the group:

Example

<div class="btn-group btn-group-lg">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Apple</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Samsung</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Sony</button>
</div>

Vertical Button Groups

Bootstrap also supports vertical button groups:

Use the class .btn-group-vertical to create a vertical button group:

Example

<div class="btn-group-vertical">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Apple</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Samsung</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Sony</button>
</div>

Justified Button Groups

To span the entire width of the screen, use the .btn-group-justified class:

Example with <a> elements:

Example

<div class="btn-group btn-group-justified">
  <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Apple</a>
  <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Samsung</a>
  <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Sony</a>
</div>

Note: For <button> elements, you must wrap each button in a .btn-group class:

Example

<div class="btn-group btn-group-justified">
  <div class="btn-group">
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Apple</button>
  </div>
  <div class="btn-group">
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Samsung</button>
  </div>
  <div class="btn-group">
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Sony</button>
  </div>
</div>
