Content#

ButtonGroup expects Buttons as children and is used to handle overflow. When horizontal space is limited, the ButtonGroup switches to a vertical layout. ButtonGroup should be used when there are two or more related Buttons in a group. To see the orientation switch in the example above, resize the width of your window.

Orientation#

Setting this to 'vertical' will prevent any dynamic orientation changes, the ButtonGroup will remain in vertical regardless of the available width.

<ButtonGroup orientation="vertical">
  <Button variant="secondary">No, thanks</Button>
  <Button variant="secondary">Remind me later</Button>
  <Button variant="primary">Rate Now</Button>
</ButtonGroup>
<ButtonGroup orientation="vertical">
  <Button variant="secondary">No, thanks</Button>
  <Button variant="secondary">Remind me later</Button>
  <Button variant="primary">Rate Now</Button>
</ButtonGroup>
<ButtonGroup orientation="vertical">

  <Button variant="primary">

  </Button>
</ButtonGroup>

Alignment#

View guidelines

Button groups are aligned contextually. Generally, button groups should be start-aligned to follow content. However, they should be end-aligned inside container components, such as in dialogs, popovers, or cards. Center alignment should be used in the context of an empty state. In right-to-left languages, alignment is flipped automatically.

  <Button variant="secondary">No, thanks</Button>

  <Button variant="primary">Rate Now</Button>
