The button is an essential element of any design. It's meant to look and behave as an interactive element of your page.

{% include elements/snippet.html content=button_example %}

The .button class can be used on:

<a> anchor links
<button> form buttons
<input type="submit"> submit inputs
<input type="reset"> reset inputs

{% include elements/snippet.html content=button_tags_example %} {% include elements/anchor.html name="Colors" %} {% include elements/snippet.html content=button_colors_a_example %} {% include elements/snippet.html content=button_colors_b_example %} {% include elements/anchor.html name="Sizes" %} {% include elements/snippet.html content=button_sizes_example %} {% include elements/anchor.html name="Styles" %}

Outlined

{% include elements/snippet.html content=button_outlined_example %}

Inverted (the text color becomes the background color, and vice-versa)

{% highlight html %}{{button_inverted_example}}{% endhighlight %}

Invert Outlined (the invert color becomes the text and border colors)

{% highlight html %}{{button_inverted_outlined_example}}{% endhighlight %}

Rounded buttons

{% include elements/new-tag.html version="0.6.2" %} {{ button_rounded_example }}

{% highlight html %}{{ button_rounded_example }}{% endhighlight %}

{% include elements/anchor.html name="States" %}

Normal

{% include elements/snippet.html content=button_normal_example %}

Hover

{% include elements/snippet.html content=button_hover_example %}

Focus

{% include elements/snippet.html content=button_focus_example %}

Active

{% include elements/snippet.html content=button_active_example %}

Loading

Since the loading spinner is implemented using the :after pseudo-element, it is not supported by the <input type="submit"> element.

{% highlight html %}{{button_loading_example}}{% endhighlight %}

Static

You can create a non-interactive button by using the is-static modifier. This is useful to align a text label with an input, for example when using form addons.

{% highlight html %}{{button_static_example}}{% endhighlight %}

Disabled

The is-disabled CSS class has been deprecated in favor of the disabled HTML attribute. Learn more

{% highlight html %}{{button_disabled_example}}{% endhighlight %}

With Font Awesome icons

{% include elements/snippet.html content=button_fa_example clipped=true %}

If the button only contains an icon, Bulma will make sure the button remains square, no matter the size of the button or of the icon.

{% highlight html %}{{button_only_icon_example}}{% endhighlight %}

{% include elements/anchor.html name="Button group" %}

If you want to group buttons together on a single line, use the is-grouped modifier on the field container:

{% include elements/snippet.html content=button_group_example %} {% include elements/anchor.html name="Button addons" %}

If you want to use buttons as addons, use the has-addons modifier on the field container:

{% include elements/snippet.html content=button_addons_example %} {% include elements/anchor.html name="Button group with addons" %}

You can group together addons as well:

{% include elements/snippet.html content=button_group_addons_example %} {% include elements/anchor.html name="List of buttons" %} {% include elements/new-tag.html version="0.6.1" %}

You can now create a list of buttons with the .buttons container.

{% highlight html %}{{ buttons }}{% endhighlight %}

If the list is very long, it will automatically wrap on multiple lines, while keeping all buttons evenly spaced.

{% highlight html %}{{ buttons_multiple }}{% endhighlight %}

You can attach buttons together with the .has-addons modifier.

{% highlight html %}{{ buttons_addons }}{% endhighlight %}

Use the is-centered or the is-right modifiers to alter the alignment.

    {% highlight html %}{{ buttons_addons_centered }}{{ buttons_addons_right }}{% endhighlight %}
  

You can use any modifier class on each button to differentiate them. Make sure to add the is-selected modifier as well to make sure the selected button is above its siblings.

{% highlight html %}{{ buttons_addons_selected }}{% endhighlight %}

Difference between form groups and list of buttons

While this list of buttons style can be achieved with either field is-grouped or the new buttons class, there are a few differences:

buttons has a simpler markup
buttons can only contain button elements
field is-grouped can contain any type of control inputs
field is-grouped can be forced to fit all controls on a single line
with field is-grouped you can expand one of the controls

Basically, if you only want a list of buttons, using buttons is recommended. If you need more control on the styling and the elements, use a form group.

{% include elements/variables.html type='element' %}
