To look after such cases the latest version of the Bootstrap framework-- Bootstrap 4 has full help to the so knowned as Bootstrap Button groups active which in turn typically are precisely what the title mention-- groups of buttons wrapped like a single element together with all of the features in seeming nearly the same and so it is really uncomplicated for the site visitor to choose the right one and it's less worrieding for the sight because there is no free area around the particular features in the group-- it looks like a one button bar with many different options.

Effective ways to put into action the Bootstrap Button groups panel:

Making a button group is actually really uncomplicated-- all you need is simply an element utilizing the class

.btn-group
to wrap in your buttons. This specific makes a horizontally adjusted group of buttons-- in the event you seek a vertically loaded group employ the
.btn-group-vertical
class as a substitute.

.btn-group-sm
for small-sized or
.btn-group-lg
class to the
.btn-group
element and all of the buttons inside will get the determined sizing. In contrast to the previous version you aren't able to tell the buttons in the group to present extra small since the
.btn-group-xs
class in no longer sustained by the Bootstrap 4 framework. You have the ability to eventually put together a number of button groups in to a toolbar simply covering them in a
.btn-toolbar
element or nest a group within another in order to place a dropdown element into the child button group.

  <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Right</button>
</div>

<div class="btn-toolbar mb-3" role="toolbar" aria-label="Toolbar with button groups">
  <div class="btn-group mr-2" role="group" aria-label="First group">
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">1</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">2</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">3</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">4</button>
  </div>
  <div class="input-group">
    <span class="input-group-addon" id="btnGroupAddon">@</span>
    <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Input group example" aria-describedby="btnGroupAddon">
  </div>
</div>

<div class="btn-toolbar justify-content-between" role="toolbar" aria-label="Toolbar with button groups">
  <div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="First group">
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">1</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">2</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">3</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">4</button>
  </div>
  <div class="input-group">
    <span class="input-group-addon" id="btnGroupAddon2">@</span>
    <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Input group example" aria-describedby="btnGroupAddon2">
  </div>
</div>

Sizing

As an alternative to applying button sizing classes to every single button inside a group, simply add in

.btn-group-*
to each
.btn-group
, including each one whenever nesting multiple groups

 Measurement
<div class="btn-group btn-group-lg" role="group" aria-label="...">...</div>
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="...">...</div>
<div class="btn-group btn-group-sm" role="group" aria-label="...">...</div>

Nesting

Place a

.btn-group
in one more
.btn-group
when you want dropdown menus combined with a set of buttons. (see page)

Nesting
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Button group with nested dropdown">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">1</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">2</button>

  <div class="btn-group" role="group">
    <button id="btnGroupDrop1" type="button" class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
      Dropdown
    </button>
    <div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="btnGroupDrop1">
      <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown link</a>
      <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown link</a>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Vertical variation

Produce a group of buttons show up upright loaded as opposed to horizontally. Split button dropdowns are not really maintained here.

 Upright  version
<div class="btn-group-vertical">
  ...
</div>

Popovers and Tooltips

Because of the particular setup ( plus a few other components), a piece of significant casing is necessitated for tooltips and also popovers in button groups. You'll need to determine the option

container: 'body'
to stay away from unwanted secondary results (such as the component expanding larger and/or getting rid of its own rounded corners whenever the tooltip or popover is triggered). (read this)

Another issue to take note of

To get a dropdown button in a

.btn-group
make one other component carrying the similar class within it and wrap it around a
<button>
by using the
.dropdown-toggle
class,
data-toggle="dropdown"
and
type="button"
attributes. Next in addition to this
<button>
made a
<div>
with the class
.dropdown-menu
and produce the urls of your dropdown in it ensuring you have certainly assigned the
.dropdown-item
class to each and every one of them. That's the very simple and fast approach producing a dropdown in a button group. Additionally you are able to establish a split dropdown following the very same routine simply mading extra standard button before the
.dropdown-toggle
element and clearing out the text message in it so that just the tiny triangle pointer remains.
