Buttons

Use Bootstrap's custom button styles for actions in forms, dialogs, and more with support for multiple sizes, states, and more.


Examples

Bootstrap includes several predefined button styles, each serving its own semantic purpose, with a few extras thrown in for more control.

<button class="btn btn-primary" type="button">Button</button>


<button class="btn btn-icon btn-3 btn-primary" type="button">
	<span class="btn-inner--icon"><i class="ni ni-bag-17"></i></span>
	
    <span class="btn-inner--text">With icon</span>
    
</button>


<button class="btn btn-icon btn-2 btn-primary" type="button">
	<span class="btn-inner--icon"><i class="ni ni-atom"></i></span>
	
</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Primary</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-info">Info</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success">Success</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger">Danger</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-warning">Warning</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Default</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Secondary</button>

Rounded buttons

In need of a round button, add the class .btn-round to make it.

  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-round">Primary</button>

  <button type="button" class="btn btn-info btn-round">Info</button>

  <button type="button" class="btn btn-success btn-round">Success</button>

  <button type="button" class="btn btn-danger btn-round">Danger</button>

  <button type="button" class="btn btn-warning btn-round">Warning</button>

  <button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-round">Default</button>

  <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary btn-round">Secondary</button>

Outline buttons

In need of a button, but not the hefty background colors they bring? Replace the default modifier classes with the .btn-outline-* ones to remove all background images and colors on any button.

<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary">Primary</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-info">Info</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-success">Success</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-danger">Danger</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-warning">Warning</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-default">Default</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">Secondary</button>

Outline rounded

In need of a button, but not the hefty background colors they bring? Replace the default modifier classes with the .btn-outline-* ones to remove all background images and colors on any button and you also have to add the class .btn-round.

  <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-round">Primary</button>

  <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-info btn-round">Info</button>

  <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-success btn-round">Success</button>

  <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-danger btn-round">Danger</button>

  <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-warning btn-round">Warning</button>

  <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-default btn-round">Default</button>

  <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary btn-round">Secondary</button>

In need of a link button, you just have to set .btn-link and also for the color that you need just add .text-*.

Gradients

In need of a button, but not the hefty background colors they bring? Replace the default modifier classes with the .btn-gradient-* ones to remove all background images and colors on any button.

Sizes

Fancy larger or smaller buttons? Add .btn-lg or .btn-sm for additional sizes.

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg">Large button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary btn-lg">Large button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Small button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary btn-sm">Small button</button>

Create block level buttons—those that span the full width of a parent—by adding .btn-block.

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block">Block level button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary btn-lg btn-block">Block level button</button>

Active state

Buttons will appear pressed (with a darker background, darker border, and inset shadow) when active. There’s no need to add a class to <button>s as they use a pseudo-class. However, you can still force the same active appearance with .active (and include the aria-pressed="true" attribute) should you need to replicate the state programmatically.

<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg active" role="button" aria-pressed="true">Primary link</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-secondary btn-lg active" role="button" aria-pressed="true">Link</a>

Disabled state

Make buttons look inactive by adding the disabled boolean attribute to any <button> element.

<button type="button" class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" disabled>Primary button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary btn-lg" disabled>Button</button>

Button plugin

Do more with buttons. Control button states or create groups of buttons for more components like toolbars.

Toggle states

Add data-toggle="button" to toggle a button’s active state. If you’re pre-toggling a button, you must manually add the .active class and aria-pressed="true" to the <button>.

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="button" aria-pressed="false" autocomplete="off">
  Single toggle
</button>

Checkbox and radio buttons

Bootstrap’s .button styles can be applied to other elements, such as <label>s, to provide checkbox or radio style button toggling. Add data-toggle="buttons" to a .btn-group containing those modified buttons to enable their toggling behavior via JavaScript and add .btn-group-toggle to style the <input>s within your buttons. Note that you can create single input-powered buttons or groups of them.

The checked state for these buttons is only updated via click event on the button. If you use another method to update the input—e.g., with <input type="reset"> or by manually applying the input’s checked property—you’ll need to toggle .active on the <label> manually.

Note that pre-checked buttons require you to manually add the .active class to the input’s <label>.

<div class="btn-group-toggle" data-toggle="buttons">
  <label class="btn btn-secondary active">
    <input type="checkbox" checked autocomplete="off"> Checked
  </label>
</div>
<div class="btn-group btn-group-toggle" data-toggle="buttons">
  <label class="btn btn-secondary active">
    <input type="radio" name="options" id="option1" autocomplete="off" checked> Active
  </label>
  <label class="btn btn-secondary">
    <input type="radio" name="options" id="option2" autocomplete="off"> Radio
  </label>
  <label class="btn btn-secondary">
    <input type="radio" name="options" id="option3" autocomplete="off"> Radio
  </label>
</div>
