Button group.

Related actions, kept together.

In practice

Use aria-label to describe the group. Each button remains independently focusable.

Installation

Install Coal once. Components and TypeScript declarations are included. React 19 and React DOM 19 are peer dependencies.

npm install http://localhost:3100/downloads/chlohal-coal-ui-0.5.0.tgz

This installs the local package. It is not yet published on npm. See installation for stylesheet setup and integration.

Usage

"use client";
import * as React from "react";
import "@chlohal/coal-ui/styles.css";
import { Copy } from "lucide-react";
import { Button, ButtonGroup } from "@chlohal/coal-ui";
export default function Example() {
    const [message, setMessage] = React.useState("");
    const notice = <p role="status">{message}</p>;
    return (<div>
          <ButtonGroup aria-label="Project actions">
            <Button size="sm" variant="ghost" onClick={async () => {
            try {
                await navigator.clipboard.writeText(window.location.href);
                setMessage("Link copied.");
            }
            catch {
                setMessage("Copy the address from your browser.");
            }
        }}>
              Share
            </Button>
            <Button size="sm" variant="outline" onClick={() => setMessage("Project duplicated.")}>
              <Copy />
              Duplicate
            </Button>
          </ButtonGroup>
          {notice}
        </div>);
}

Source

The original Coal implementation. Use the package export to integrate it.

import * as React from "react";
import { cn } from "./internal.js";
export type ButtonGroupProps = React.ComponentPropsWithRef<"div">;
export function ButtonGroup({ className, ...props }: ButtonGroupProps) {
  return (
    <div
      role="group"
      className={cn("coal-button-group", className)}
      {...props}
    />
  );
}

Accessibility checklist

• Provide an accessible name for controls, including icon-only buttons.
• Check keyboard navigation, visible focus and disabled states in your application.
• Do not rely on color alone to communicate status.
