Buttons
Use our 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-default">Default</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Primary</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Secondary</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>
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-default">Default</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary">Primary</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">Secondary</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>
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>
