Button Group

A lightning:buttonGroup component represents a set of buttons that can be displayed together to create a navigational bar. The body of the component can contain lightning:button or lightning:buttonMenu. If navigational tabs are needed, use lightning:tabset instead of lightning:buttonGroup.

This component implements styling from button groups in the Lightning Design System.

To create buttons, use the lightning:button component as shown in this example.

1<aura:component>
2  <lightning:buttonGroup>
3    <lightning:button label="Refresh" onclick="{!c.handleClick}" />
4    <lightning:button label="Edit" onclick="{!c.handleClick}" />
5    <lightning:button label="Save" onclick="{!c.handleClick}" />
6  </lightning:buttonGroup>
7</aura:component>

The onclick handler in lightning:button calls the handleClick client-side controller, which returns the label of the button that was clicked.

1({
2  handleClick: function (cmp, event, helper) {
3    var selectedButtonLabel = event.getSource().get("v.label");
4    alert("Button label: " + selectedButtonLabel);
5  },
6});
