Features#
There is no built in element for toggle button groups in HTML. ToggleButtonGroup
helps achieve accessible toggle button groups that can be styled as needed.
- Accessible – Represented as an ARIA radiogroup when using single selection, or a toolbar when using multiple selection.
- Keyboard navigation – Users can navigate between buttons with the arrow keys. Selection can be toggled using the Enter or Space keys.
- Styleable – Hover, press, keyboard focus, and selection states are provided for easy styling.
Anatomy#
A toggle button group consists of a set of toggle buttons, and coordinates the selection state between them. Users can navigate between buttons with the arrow keys in either horizontal or vertical orientations.
import {ToggleButtonGroup, ToggleButton} from 'react-aria-components';
<ToggleButtonGroup>
<ToggleButton />
</ToggleButtonGroup>
import {
ToggleButton,
ToggleButtonGroup
} from 'react-aria-components';
<ToggleButtonGroup>
<ToggleButton />
</ToggleButtonGroup>
import {
ToggleButton,
ToggleButtonGroup
} from 'react-aria-components';
<ToggleButtonGroup>
<ToggleButton />
</ToggleButtonGroup>
Composed Components#
Selection#
ToggleButtonGroup supports both single and multiple selection modes. Use defaultSelectedKeys
to provide a default set of selected items (uncontrolled) and selectedKeys
to set the selected items (controlled). The value of the selected keys must match the id
prop of the items.
Single selection#
By default, the selectionMode
of a ToggleButtonGroup
is "single"
.
<ToggleButtonGroup defaultSelectedKeys={['list']}>
<ToggleButton id="grid">Grid view</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="list">List view</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="gallery">Gallery view</ToggleButton>
</ToggleButtonGroup>
<ToggleButtonGroup defaultSelectedKeys={['list']}>
<ToggleButton id="grid">Grid view</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="list">List view</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="gallery">Gallery view</ToggleButton>
</ToggleButtonGroup>
<ToggleButtonGroup
defaultSelectedKeys={[
'list'
]}
>
<ToggleButton id="grid">
Grid view
</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="list">
List view
</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="gallery">
Gallery view
</ToggleButton>
</ToggleButtonGroup>
Multiple selection#
Set selectionMode
prop to multiple
to allow more than one selection.
<ToggleButtonGroup selectionMode="multiple">
<ToggleButton id="bold">Bold</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="italic">Italic</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="underline">Underline</ToggleButton>
</ToggleButtonGroup>
<ToggleButtonGroup selectionMode="multiple">
<ToggleButton id="bold">Bold</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="italic">Italic</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="underline">Underline</ToggleButton>
</ToggleButtonGroup>
<ToggleButtonGroup selectionMode="multiple">
<ToggleButton id="bold">
Bold
</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="italic">
Italic
</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="underline">
Underline
</ToggleButton>
</ToggleButtonGroup>
Controlled selection#
The selectedKeys
prop can be used to make the selected state controlled.
import type {Key} from 'react-aria-components';
function Example() {
let [selected, setSelected] = React.useState(new Set<Key>(['bold']));
return (
<>
<ToggleButtonGroup
selectionMode="multiple"
selectedKeys={selected}
onSelectionChange={setSelected}
>
<ToggleButton id="bold">Bold</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="italic">Italic</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="underline">Underline</ToggleButton>
</ToggleButtonGroup>
<p>Current selections (controlled): {[...selected].join(', ')}</p>
</>
);
}
import type {Key} from 'react-aria-components';
function Example() {
let [selected, setSelected] = React.useState(
new Set<Key>(['bold'])
);
return (
<>
<ToggleButtonGroup
selectionMode="multiple"
selectedKeys={selected}
onSelectionChange={setSelected}
>
<ToggleButton id="bold">Bold</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="italic">Italic</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="underline">
Underline
</ToggleButton>
</ToggleButtonGroup>
<p>
Current selections (controlled):{' '}
{[...selected].join(', ')}
</p>
</>
);
}
import type {Key} from 'react-aria-components';
function Example() {
let [
selected,
setSelected
] = React.useState(
new Set<Key>([
'bold'
])
);
return (
<>
<ToggleButtonGroup
selectionMode="multiple"
selectedKeys={selected}
onSelectionChange={setSelected}
>
<ToggleButton id="bold">
Bold
</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="italic">
Italic
</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="underline">
Underline
</ToggleButton>
</ToggleButtonGroup>
<p>
Current
selections
(controlled):
{' '}
{[...selected]
.join(', ')}
</p>
</>
);
}
Disabled#
All buttons within a ToggleButtonGroup
can be disabled using the isDisabled
prop.
<ToggleButtonGroup isDisabled>
<ToggleButton id="grid">Grid view</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="list">List view</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="gallery">Gallery view</ToggleButton>
</ToggleButtonGroup>
<ToggleButtonGroup isDisabled>
<ToggleButton id="grid">Grid view</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="list">List view</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="gallery">Gallery view</ToggleButton>
</ToggleButtonGroup>
<ToggleButtonGroup
isDisabled
>
<ToggleButton id="grid">
Grid view
</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="list">
List view
</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="gallery">
Gallery view
</ToggleButton>
</ToggleButtonGroup>
Individual items can be disabled using the isDisabled
prop on each ToggleButton
.
<ToggleButtonGroup>
<ToggleButton id="grid">Grid view</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="list" isDisabled>List view</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="gallery">Gallery view</ToggleButton>
</ToggleButtonGroup>
<ToggleButtonGroup>
<ToggleButton id="grid">Grid view</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="list" isDisabled>
List view
</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="gallery">Gallery view</ToggleButton>
</ToggleButtonGroup>
<ToggleButtonGroup>
<ToggleButton id="grid">
Grid view
</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton
id="list"
isDisabled
>
List view
</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="gallery">
Gallery view
</ToggleButton>
</ToggleButtonGroup>
Orientation#
By default, toggle button groups are horizontally oriented. The orientation prop can be set to "vertical" to change the arrow key navigation behavior.
<ToggleButtonGroup orientation="vertical">
<ToggleButton id="grid">Grid</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="list">List</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="gallery">Gallery</ToggleButton>
</ToggleButtonGroup>
<ToggleButtonGroup orientation="vertical">
<ToggleButton id="grid">Grid</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="list">List</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="gallery">Gallery</ToggleButton>
</ToggleButtonGroup>
<ToggleButtonGroup orientation="vertical">
<ToggleButton id="grid">

Styling#
React Aria components can be styled in many ways, including using CSS classes, inline styles, utility classes (e.g. Tailwind), CSS-in-JS (e.g. Styled Components), etc. By default, all components include a builtin className
attribute which can be targeted using CSS selectors. These follow the react-aria-ComponentName
naming convention.
.react-aria-ToggleButtonGroup {
/* ... */
}
.react-aria-ToggleButtonGroup {
/* ... */
}
.react-aria-ToggleButtonGroup {
/* ... */
}
A custom className
can also be specified on any component. This overrides the default className
provided by React Aria with your own.
<ToggleButtonGroup className="my-toggle-group">
{/* ... */}
</ToggleButtonGroup>
<ToggleButtonGroup className="my-toggle-group">
{/* ... */}
</ToggleButtonGroup>
<ToggleButtonGroup className="my-toggle-group">
{/* ... */}
</ToggleButtonGroup>
In addition, some components support multiple UI states (e.g. focused, placeholder, readonly, etc.). React Aria components expose states using data attributes, which you can target in CSS selectors. For example:
.react-aria-ToggleButton[data-selected] {
/* ... */
}
.react-aria-ToggleButton[data-selected] {
/* ... */
}
.react-aria-ToggleButton[data-selected] {
/* ... */
}
The className
and style
props also accept functions which receive states for styling. This lets you dynamically determine the classes or styles to apply, which is useful when using utility CSS libraries like Tailwind.
<ToggleButtonGroup
className={({ isDisabled }) => isDisabled ? 'bg-gray-100' : 'bg-gray-600'}
/>
<ToggleButtonGroup
className={({ isDisabled }) =>
isDisabled ? 'bg-gray-100' : 'bg-gray-600'}
/>
<ToggleButtonGroup
className={(
{ isDisabled }
) =>
isDisabled
? 'bg-gray-100'
: 'bg-gray-600'}
/>
Render props may also be used as children to alter what elements are rendered based on the current state. For example, you could swap an icon depending on the selection state.
<ToggleButton>
{({isSelected}) => (
<>
{isSelected ? <PinnedIcon /> : <UnpinnedIcon />}
Pin
</>
)}
</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton>
{({isSelected}) => (
<>
{isSelected ? <PinnedIcon /> : <UnpinnedIcon />}
Pin
</>
)}
</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton>
{(
{ isSelected }
) => (
<>
{isSelected
? (
<PinnedIcon />
)
: (
<UnpinnedIcon />
)}
Pin
</>
)}
</ToggleButton>
The states, selectors, and render props for each component used in a ToggleButtonGroup
are documented below.
ToggleButtonGroup#
A ToggleButtonGroup
can be targeted with the .react-aria-ToggleButtonGroup
CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom className
. It supports the following states and render props:
Name | CSS Selector | Description |
isDisabled | [data-disabled] | Whether the toggle button group is disabled. |
state | — | State of the toggle button group. |
ToggleButton#
A ToggleButton
can be targeted with the .react-aria-ToggleButton
CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom className
.
Name | CSS Selector | Description |
isSelected | [data-selected] | Whether the button is currently selected. |
state | — | State of the toggle button. |
isHovered | [data-hovered] | Whether the button is currently hovered with a mouse. |
isPressed | [data-pressed] | Whether the button is currently in a pressed state. |
isFocused | [data-focused] | Whether the button is focused, either via a mouse or keyboard. |
isFocusVisible | [data-focus-visible] | Whether the button is keyboard focused. |
isDisabled | [data-disabled] | Whether the button is disabled. |
Advanced customization#
Contexts#
All React Aria Components export a corresponding context that can be used to send props to them from a parent element. This enables you to build your own compositional APIs similar to those found in React Aria Components itself. You can send any prop or ref via context that you could pass to the corresponding component. The local props and ref on the component are merged with the ones passed via context, with the local props taking precedence (following the rules documented in mergeProps).
Component | Context | Props | Ref |
ToggleButtonGroup | ToggleButtonGroupContext | ToggleButtonGroupProps | HTMLDivElement |
ToggleButton | ToggleButtonContext | ToggleButtonProps | HTMLButtonElement |
State#
ToggleButtonGroup provides an ToggleGroupState
object to its children via ToggleGroupStateContext
. This can be used to access and manipulate the toggle button group's state.
This example shows a ClearButton
component that can be placed within a ToggleButtonGroup
to allow the user to clear the selected item.
import {Button, ToggleGroupStateContext} from 'react-aria-components';
function ClearButton() {
let state = React.useContext(ToggleGroupStateContext); return (
<Button onPress={() => state?.setSelectedKeys(new Set())}>
Clear
</Button>
);
}
<ToggleButtonGroup
selectionMode="multiple"
defaultSelectedKeys={['bold', 'italic']}
>
<ToggleButton id="bold">Bold</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="italic">Italic</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="underline">Underline</ToggleButton>
<ClearButton /></ToggleButtonGroup>
import {
Button,
ToggleGroupStateContext
} from 'react-aria-components';
function ClearButton() {
let state = React.useContext(ToggleGroupStateContext); return (
<Button
onPress={() => state?.setSelectedKeys(new Set())}
>
Clear
</Button>
);
}
<ToggleButtonGroup
selectionMode="multiple"
defaultSelectedKeys={['bold', 'italic']}
>
<ToggleButton id="bold">Bold</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="italic">Italic</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="underline">Underline</ToggleButton>
<ClearButton /></ToggleButtonGroup>
import {
Button,
ToggleGroupStateContext
} from 'react-aria-components';
function ClearButton() {
let state = React
.useContext(
ToggleGroupStateContext
); return (
<Button
onPress={() =>
state
?.setSelectedKeys(
new Set()
)}
>
Clear
</Button>
);
}
<ToggleButtonGroup
selectionMode="multiple"
defaultSelectedKeys={[
'bold',
'italic'
]}
>
<ToggleButton id="bold">
Bold
</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="italic">
Italic
</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton id="underline">
Underline
</ToggleButton>
<ClearButton /></ToggleButtonGroup>
Hooks#
If you need to customize things even further, such as accessing internal state, intercepting events, or customizing the DOM structure, you can drop down to the lower level Hook-based API. See useToggleButtonGroup for more details.
