Button group
Group a series of buttons together on a single line or stack them in a vertical column.
On this page
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-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>
Button groups require an appropriate
role attribute and explicit label to ensure assistive technologies like screen readers identify buttons as grouped and announce them. Use role="group" for button groups or role="toolbar" for button toolbars. Then use aria-label or aria-labelledby to label them.
These classes can also be added to groups of links, as an alternative to the .nav navigation components.
<div class="btn-group" role="group">
<a href="#" class="btn btn-outline-secondary active" aria-current="page">Active link</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">Link</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">Link</a>
