      <a class="button">Button</a>
    

The .button class can be used on:

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

Anchor

<a class="button is-warning">Warning</a>
<a class="button is-danger">Danger</a>
    

Sizes #

The button comes in 4 different sizes:

small
normal
medium
large

While the default size is the normal one, the is-normal modifier exists in case you need to reset the button to its normal size.

Small Default Normal Medium Large

      <a class="button is-small">Small</a>
<a class="button">Default</a>
<a class="button is-normal">Normal</a>
<a class="button is-medium">Medium</a>
<a class="button is-large">Large</a>
    

Coming soon! 0.7.3

You can change the size of multiple buttons at once by wrapping them in a .buttons parent, and applying one of 3 modifiers:

buttons are-small
buttons are-medium
buttons are-large

All Medium Size

      <div class="buttons are-medium">
  <a class="button">All</a>
  <a class="button">Medium</a>
  <a class="button">Size</a>
</div>
    

You can change the size of only a subset of buttons by simply applying a modifier class to them.
For example, if you want all buttons to be small but still have one in its normal size, simply do the following:

Small Small Small Normal Small

      <div class="buttons are-small">
  <a class="button">Small</a>
  <a class="button">Small</a>
  <a class="button">Small</a>
  <a class="button is-normal">Normal</a>
  <a class="button">Small</a>
</div>

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

<a class="button is-loading">Loading</a>
<a class="button is-primary is-loading">Loading</a>
<a class="button is-link is-loading">Loading</a>

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.

<span class="button is-static">Static</span>

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.

Button group #

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

Save changes

Cancel

Delete post

      <div class="field is-grouped">
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button is-link">
      Save changes
    </a>
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button">
      Cancel
    </a>
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button is-danger">
      Delete post
    </a>
  </p>
</div>

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

Left

Center

Right

      <div class="field has-addons">
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button">
      <span class="icon is-small">
        <i class="fas fa-align-left"></i>
      </span>
      <span>Left</span>
    </a>

      <div class="field has-addons">
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button">
      <span class="icon is-small">
        <i class="fas fa-bold"></i>
      </span>
      <span>Bold</span>
    </a>

<div class="field has-addons">

      <span>Right</span>
    </a>
  </p>
</div>
    

List of buttons #

Since 0.6.1

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

Save changes Save and continue Cancel

<div class="buttons">
  <span class="button is-success">Save changes</span>
  <span class="button is-info">Save and continue</span>
  <span class="button is-danger">Cancel</span>
</div>

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

One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten Eleven Twelve Thirteen Fourteen Fifteen Sixteen Seventeen Eighteen Nineteen Twenty

    <div class="buttons">
  <span class="button">One</span>
  <span class="button">Two</span>
  <span class="button">Three</span>
  <span class="button">Four</span>
  <span class="button">Five</span>
  <span class="button">Six</span>
  <span class="button">Seven</span>
  <span class="button">Eight</span>
  <span class="button">Nine</span>
  <span class="button">Ten</span>
  <span class="button">Eleven</span>
  <span class="button">Twelve</span>
  <span class="button">Thirteen</span>
  <span class="button">Fourteen</span>
  <span class="button">Fifteen</span>
  <span class="button">Sixteen</span>
  <span class="button">Seventeen</span>
  <span class="button">Eighteen</span>
  <span class="button">Nineteen</span>
  <span class="button">Twenty</span>
</div>
  

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

Yes Maybe No

    <div class="buttons has-addons">
  <span class="button">Yes</span>
  <span class="button">Maybe</span>
  <span class="button">No</span>
</div>
  

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

Yes Maybe No

    <div class="buttons has-addons is-centered">
  <span class="button">Yes</span>
  <span class="button">Maybe</span>
  <span class="button">No</span>
</div>

<div class="buttons has-addons is-right">
  <span class="button">Yes</span>
  <span class="button">Maybe</span>
  <span class="button">No</span>
</div>
  

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.

Yes Maybe No

    <div class="buttons has-addons">
  <span class="button is-success is-selected">Yes</span>
  <span class="button">Maybe</span>
  <span class="button">No</span>
</div>

<div class="buttons has-addons">
  <span class="button">Yes</span>
  <span class="button is-info is-selected">Maybe</span>
  <span class="button">No</span>
</div>

<div class="buttons has-addons">
  <span class="button">Yes</span>
  <span class="button">Maybe</span>
  <span class="button is-danger is-selected">No</span>
</div>
  

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.
