lightning:buttonGroup

Represents a group of buttons.

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 inherits styling from button groups in the Lightning Design System.

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

<aura:component>
    <lightning:buttonGroup>
        <lightning:button label="Refresh" onclick="{!c.handleClick}"/>
        <lightning:button label="Edit" onclick="{!c.handleClick}"/>
        <lightning:button label="Save" onclick="{!c.handleClick}"/>
    </lightning:buttonGroup>
</aura:component>
        

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

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