Anatomy

Import the ButtonGroup component and access all parts using dot notation.

import { ButtonGroup, Button } from '@darkcode-ui/react';

export default () => (
  <ButtonGroup>
    <Button>First</Button>
    <Button>
      <ButtonGroup.Separator />
      Second
    </Button>
    <Button>
      <ButtonGroup.Separator />
      Third
    </Button>
  </ButtonGroup>
);

ButtonGroup wraps multiple Button components together, applying consistent styling, spacing, and automatic border radius handling. It uses React Context to pass size, variant, and isDisabled props to all child buttons.

Variants

import {Button, ButtonGroup} from "@darkcode-ui/react";

export function Variants() {
  return (
    <div className="flex flex-col gap-6">

Sizes

import {Button, ButtonGroup} from "@darkcode-ui/react";

export function Sizes() {
  return (
    <div className="flex flex-col gap-4">

Orientation

Use the orientation prop to arrange buttons horizontally or vertically.

import {Button, ButtonGroup} from "@darkcode-ui/react";
import {TextAlignCenter, TextAlignJustify, TextAlignLeft, TextAlignRight} from "@gravity-ui/icons";

export function Orientation() {
  return (

With Icons

import {Button, ButtonGroup} from "@darkcode-ui/react";
import {Globe, Plus, TrashBin} from "@gravity-ui/icons";

export function WithIcons() {
  return (

Full Width

import {Button, ButtonGroup} from "@darkcode-ui/react";
import {TextAlignCenter, TextAlignLeft, TextAlignRight} from "@gravity-ui/icons";

export function FullWidth() {
  return (

Disabled State

import {Button, ButtonGroup} from "@darkcode-ui/react";

export function Disabled() {
  return (
    <div className="flex flex-col gap-6">

Without Separator

Simply omit the <ButtonGroup.Separator /> component from your buttons.

import {Button, ButtonGroup} from "@darkcode-ui/react";

export function WithoutSeparator() {
  return (
    <ButtonGroup>

Styling

Passing Tailwind CSS classes

import { ButtonGroup, Button } from '@darkcode-ui/react';

function CustomButtonGroup() {
  return (
    <ButtonGroup className="gap-2">
      <Button>First</Button>
      <Button>
        <ButtonGroup.Separator />
        Second
      </Button>
      <Button>
        <ButtonGroup.Separator />
        Third
      </Button>
    </ButtonGroup>
  );
}

Customizing the component classes

To customize the ButtonGroup component classes, you can use the @layer components directive.

@layer components {
  .button-group {
    @apply gap-2 rounded-lg;
  }

  .button-group__separator {
    @apply opacity-25;
  }
}

DarkCode UI follows the BEM methodology to ensure component variants and states are reusable and easy to customize.

CSS Classes

The ButtonGroup component uses these CSS classes (View source styles):

Base Classes

• .button-group - Base button group container
• .button-group--full-width - Full width modifier
• .button-group__separator - Separator element between buttons

The ButtonGroup component automatically applies border radius to buttons:

• First button gets rounded left/start edge
• Last button gets rounded right/end edge
• Middle buttons have no border radius
• Single button gets full border radius on all edges

Add <ButtonGroup.Separator /> inside each Button (except the first) to show dividers between buttons.

Notes

• ButtonGroup uses React Context to pass size, variant, and isDisabled props to all child Button components
• Only direct child buttons receive the ButtonGroup props - Buttons nested inside other components (like Modal, Dropdown, etc.) will not inherit the group's props even if they are descendants of the ButtonGroup
• Individual Button components can override the group's isDisabled prop by setting isDisabled={false}
• The component automatically handles border radius between buttons
• Add <ButtonGroup.Separator /> inside each Button (except the first) to show dividers between buttons
• Buttons in a group have their active/pressed scale transform removed for a more cohesive appearance
