Bootstrap 5 Buttons


Button Styles

Bootstrap 5 provides different styles of buttons:

Example

<button type="button" class="btn">Basic</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-success">Success</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-info">Info</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-warning">Warning</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger">Danger</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-dark">Dark</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-light">Light</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-link">Link</button>

The button classes can be used on <a>, <button>, or <input> elements:

Example

<a href="#" class="btn btn-success">Link Button</a>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success">Button</button>
<input type="button" class="btn btn-success" value="Input Button">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-success" value="Submit Button">
<input type="reset" class="btn btn-success" value="Reset Button">

Why do we put a # in the href attribute of the link?

Since we do not have any page to link it to, and we do not want to get a "404" message, we put # as the link. In real life it should of course been a real URL to the "Search" page.


Button Outline

Bootstrap 5 also provides eight outline/bordered buttons.

Move the mouse over them to see an additional "hover" effect:

Example

<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-success">Success</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-info">Info</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-warning">Warning</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-danger">Danger</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-dark">Dark</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-light text-dark">Light</button>

Button Sizes

Use the .btn-lg class for large buttons or .btn-sm class for small buttons:

Example

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

Block Level Buttons

To create a block level button that spans the entire width of the parent element, use the .d-grid "helper" class on the parent element:

Example

<div class="d-grid">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-block">Full-Width Button</button>
</div>
Try it Yourself »

If you have many block-level buttons, you can control the space between them with the .gap-* class:

Example

<div class="d-grid gap-3">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-block">Full-Width Button</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-block">Full-Width Button</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-block">Full-Width Button</button>
</div>

Active/Disabled Buttons

A button can be set to an active (appear pressed) or a disabled (unclickable) state:

The class .active makes a button appear pressed, and the disabled attribute makes a button unclickable. Note that <a> elements do not support the disabled attribute and must therefore use the .disabled class to make it visually appear disabled.

Example

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary active">Active Primary</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" disabled>Disabled Primary</button>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary disabled">Disabled Link</a>

Spinner Buttons

You can also add "spinners" to a button, which you will learn more about in our BS5 Spinners Tutorial:

Example

<button class="btn btn-primary">
  <span class="spinner-border spinner-border-sm"></span>
</button>

<button class="btn btn-primary">
  <span class="spinner-border spinner-border-sm"></span>
  Loading..
</button>

<button class="btn btn-primary" disabled>
  <span class="spinner-border spinner-border-sm"></span>
  Loading..
</button>

<button class="btn btn-primary" disabled>
  <span class="spinner-grow spinner-grow-sm"></span>
  Loading..
</button>
