Button Group

Visually join related native Buttons into one action group.

This guide covers Material UI Core with the default Emotion engine; extensions and additional demos are explicitly classified.

Use case and business boundary

Grouping does not manage selection; use ToggleButtonGroup for selection and wire split-menu state explicitly.

Native composition and scope

Button, ButtonGroup

Preserve native Material UI composition and types; do not substitute JGuang UI/Base UI/Radix APIs. Example entries are not extra components.

Native installation and initialization

npm install @mui/material@9.4.0 @emotion/react@11.14.0 @emotion/styled@11.14.1

Use native npm and Emotion, not an invented JGuang UI Registry URL. Place examples inside native ThemeProvider; choose CssBaseline or ScopedCssBaseline for the project. Inspect React, existing providers, lockfile and SSR first. Never overwrite files or conceal peer conflicts. This batch verified React 19.2.8; React 18 and below require matching react-is. See the included bilingual setup guide.

Practical native parameters

These selected parameters are not a flattened universal API. Preserve the native declaring owner, slot structure, nullable values and generics.

Runnable native examples

Machine keys select example entries, not universal variant props. Native demo JSX/data stay unchanged; JGuang-authored acceptance fixtures are explicitly labelled.

• Basic button group · BasicButtonGroup · upstream native demo
• Button variants · VariantButtonGroup · upstream native demo
• Sizes and colors · GroupSizesColors · upstream native demo
• Vertical group · GroupOrientation · upstream native demo
• Split button · SplitButton · upstream native demo
• Disabled elevation · DisableElevation · upstream native demo
• Loading · LoadingButtonGroup · upstream native demo

Actual usage example

Unmodified pinned native demo; copy its required local helper files together.

import Button from '@mui/material/Button';
import ButtonGroup from '@mui/material/ButtonGroup';

export default function BasicButtonGroup() {
  return (
    <ButtonGroup variant="contained" aria-label="Basic button group">
      <Button>One</Button>
      <Button>Two</Button>
      <Button>Three</Button>
    </ButtonGroup>
  );
}

Example dependency boundaries

@mui/material/Button, @mui/material/ButtonGroup, @mui/material/Box, react, @mui/icons-material/ArrowDropDown, @mui/material/ClickAwayListener, @mui/material/Grow, @mui/material/Paper, @mui/material/Popper, @mui/material/MenuItem, @mui/material/MenuList, @mui/icons-material/Save

Direct Icons/System/Utils example imports require their matching 9.4.0 packages. Relative data/helpers are part of the example closure, not extra components. Remote images and simulated operations do not supply a backend.

Pinned upstream API metadata reference

These tables retain the upstream metadata, not a newly inferred generic type system. Conditional generics, inherited props and callback details are defined by the source declarations below. Theme defaults may override metadata defaults.

Button

import Button from '@mui/material/Button';
import { Button } from '@mui/material';

Native inheritance: ButtonBase. Parent/DOM props are not fabricated as additional own props.

ButtonGroup

import ButtonGroup from '@mui/material/ButtonGroup';
import { ButtonGroup } from '@mui/material';

Native source declarations

Declarations/imports are extracted from pinned source without flattening unions or external inheritance. Original English comments/types are source reference, not a claim of translated upstream prose. Shared types stay in their native packages.

Post-install acceptance

Run strict types, production build and real interactions. Check keyboard labels/focus, disabled/error/read-only semantics where natively supported, both themes, narrow screens and reduced motion. Verify callbacks against the real host data; do not declare installation complete from copying a prompt. Initialization fixtures also require server HTML and warning-free hydration.
