Accessibility#

• The ButtonGroup component has the role attribute set to group.
• Use Tab to navigate between the buttons in the group.
• Use aria-label or aria-labelledby to label the button group.

Copy<ButtonGroup aria-label="Button group">
  <Button> {"Button 1"->React.string} </Button>
  <Button> {"Button 2"->React.string} </Button>
</ButtonGroup>

ButtonGroup vs ToggleGroup#

• Use the ButtonGroup component when you want to group buttons that perform an action.
• Use the ToggleGroup component when you want to group buttons that toggle a state.

Examples#

Orientation#

Set the orientation prop to change the button group layout.

Size#

Control the size of buttons using the size prop on individual buttons.

Nested#

Nest <ButtonGroup> components to create button groups with spacing.

Separator#

The ButtonGroupSeparator component visually divides buttons within a group.

Buttons with variant outline do not need a separator since they have a border. For other variants, a separator is recommended to improve the visual hierarchy.

Split#

Create a split button group by adding two buttons separated by a ButtonGroupSeparator.

Input#

Wrap an Input component with buttons.

Input Group#

Wrap an InputGroup component to create complex input layouts.

Dropdown Menu#

Create a split button group with a DropdownMenu component.

Select#

Pair with a Select component.

Popover#
