React Button Group - Flowbite

Button groups allow you to stack together multiple buttons in a single line horizontally based on multiple styles and sizes using React and Tailwind CSS

The button group component from Flowbite React can be used to stack multiple button elements and group them visually together. It can often be used to create a navigation menu or a toolbar.

Choose from multiple examples and you can update properties such as the color, size, and appearance using the props from React and utility classes from Tailwind CSS.

To start using the component you need to import it from the Flowbite React library:

import { Button } from "flowbite-react";

Default button group#

Use this example of the <Button.Group> component by adding the Button component as a child element and stack them together. You can also use the color prop to change the color of the buttons.

Edit on GitHub
"use client";

import { Button } from "flowbite-react";

function Component() {
  return (
    <Button.Group>
      <Button color="gray">Profile</Button>
      <Button color="gray">Settings</Button>
      <Button color="gray">Messages</Button>
    </Button.Group>
  );
}

Button group with icons#

Import one of the icons from the react-icons library and add it as a child element to the <Button> component to create multiple buttons with icons grouped together.

Edit on GitHub
"use client";

import { Button } from "flowbite-react";
import { HiAdjustments, HiCloudDownload, HiUserCircle } from "react-icons/hi";

function Component() {
  return (
    <Button.Group>
      <Button color="gray">
        <HiUserCircle className="mr-3 h-4 w-4" />
        Profile
      </Button>
      <Button color="gray">
        <HiAdjustments className="mr-3 h-4 w-4" />
        Settings
      </Button>
      <Button color="gray">
        <HiCloudDownload className="mr-3 h-4 w-4" />
        Messages
      </Button>
    </Button.Group>
  );
}

Outline button group#

By passing the outline prop to the <Button.Group> component you can create a button group with outline buttons with no background and solid borders.

Edit on GitHub
"use client";

import { Button } from "flowbite-react";

function Component() {
  return (
    <div className="flex flex-wrap gap-2">
      <Button.Group outline>
        <Button color="gray">Profile</Button>
        <Button color="gray">Settings</Button>
        <Button color="gray">Messages</Button>
      </Button.Group>
      <Button.Group outline>
        <Button gradientMonochrome="info">Profile</Button>
        <Button gradientMonochrome="info">Settings</Button>
        <Button gradientMonochrome="info">Messages</Button>
      </Button.Group>
      <Button.Group outline>
        <Button gradientDuoTone="cyanToBlue">Profile</Button>
        <Button gradientDuoTone="cyanToBlue">Settings</Button>
        <Button gradientDuoTone="cyanToBlue">Messages</Button>
      </Button.Group>
    </div>
  );
}

Color options#

Use the color prop to change the color of the buttons. You can also use the gradientMonochrome and gradientDuoTone props to apply a gradient color to the buttons.

Edit on GitHub
"use client";

import { Button } from "flowbite-react";

function Component() {
  return (
    <div className="flex flex-wrap gap-2">
      <Button.Group>
        <Button color="info">Profile</Button>
        <Button color="info">Settings</Button>
        <Button color="info">Messages</Button>
      </Button.Group>
      <Button.Group>
        <Button gradientMonochrome="info">Profile</Button>
        <Button gradientMonochrome="info">Settings</Button>
        <Button gradientMonochrome="info">Messages</Button>
      </Button.Group>
      <Button.Group>
        <Button gradientDuoTone="greenToBlue">Profile</Button>
        <Button gradientDuoTone="greenToBlue">Settings</Button>
        <Button gradientDuoTone="greenToBlue">Messages</Button>
      </Button.Group>
    </div>
  );
}

Outline button group with icons#

Here's an example on how you can use both the outline and icon props together.

Edit on GitHub
"use client";

import { Button } from "flowbite-react";
import { HiAdjustments, HiCloudDownload, HiUserCircle } from "react-icons/hi";

function Component() {
  return (
    <div className="flex flex-wrap gap-2">
      <Button.Group outline>
        <Button color="gray">
          <HiUserCircle className="mr-3 h-4 w-4" />
          Profile
        </Button>
        <Button color="gray">
          <HiAdjustments className="mr-3 h-4 w-4" />
          Settings
        </Button>
        <Button color="gray">
          <HiCloudDownload className="mr-3 h-4 w-4" />
          Messages
        </Button>
      </Button.Group>
      <Button.Group outline>
        <Button gradientMonochrome="info">
          <HiUserCircle className="mr-3 h-4 w-4" />
          Profile
        </Button>
        <Button gradientMonochrome="info">
          <HiAdjustments className="mr-3 h-4 w-4" />
          Settings
        </Button>
        <Button gradientMonochrome="info">
          <HiCloudDownload className="mr-3 h-4 w-4" />
          Messages
        </Button>
      </Button.Group>
      <Button.Group outline>
        <Button gradientDuoTone="cyanToBlue">
          <HiUserCircle className="mr-3 h-4 w-4" />
          Profile
        </Button>
        <Button gradientDuoTone="cyanToBlue">
          <HiAdjustments className="mr-3 h-4 w-4" />
          Settings
        </Button>
        <Button gradientDuoTone="cyanToBlue">
          <HiCloudDownload className="mr-3 h-4 w-4" />
          Messages
        </Button>
      </Button.Group>
    </div>
  );
}
