# Button Group

A container that groups related buttons together with consistent styling.

## When to use

* Join related actions into one control, such as previous and next, or a split button.
* Attach a button to an input or a select.

## How it works

Parts: `ButtonGroup`, `ButtonGroupSeparator` and `ButtonGroupText`, plus `buttonGroupVariants`. `ButtonGroup` has an `orientation` variant (`horizontal`, `vertical`) and removes the inner corners and borders of its children so they read as one control.

## Example

### Base UI

```tsx
'use client'

import * as React from "react"
