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.

<template>
  <ButtonGroup aria-label="Button group">
    <Button>Button 1</Button>
    <Button>Button 2</Button>
  </ButtonGroup>
</template>

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

<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.

Dropdown Menu

Create a split button group with a DropdownMenu component.

Select

Pair with a Select component.

Popover

Use with a Popover component.
