Use MDB custom button styles for actions in forms, dialogs, and more with support for multiple sizes, states, and more.

Basic example Disable text wrappingIf you don’t want the button text to wrap, you can add the .text-nowrap
> class to the button. In Sass, you can set $btn-white-space: nowrap
> to disable text wrapping for each button.
Buttons, as one of the key UI elements, must have their own hierarchy. This means that the user should be able to easily identify which button is the most important (primary button), which is less important (secondary button) and which presents completely additional information (tertiary button).
Elements with strong, filled backgrounds and shadows attract attention the most, which is why button primary is built in this way.
A delicate background without shadows is less engaging, so it is well suited for button secondary.
The lack of background and shadow makes the element the least visible. These features characterize the button tertiary.
Note: Button tertiary may require additional margins. Without extra margins, the button edge will be flush with adjacent elements (which is sometimes the desired result). If you need margin - simply add margin utility classes like mx-2
.
MDB includes several predefined button styles, each serving its own semantic purpose.
Conveying meaning to assistive technologies:
Using color to add meaning only provides a visual indication, which will not be conveyed to users of assistive technologies – such as screen readers. Ensure that information denoted by the color is either obvious from the content itself (e.g. the visible text), or is included through alternative means, such as additional text hidden with the .visually-hidden
class.
Neutral buttons provide additional light and dark colors.
LinkLink button is similar to the tertiary button (and often is used as a substitute). The difference is, that the link button has a background on hover and also has a default padding.
OutlineIn need of a button, but not the hefty background colors they bring? Add outline
property to remove all background images and colors on any button.
Some of the button styles use a relatively light foreground color, and should only be used on a dark background in order to have sufficient contrast.
RoundedAdd rounded
property to make the button rounded.
You can use outline
and rounded
properties together to make the button outline and rounded at the same time.
Use floating
property to make a circle button.
To make it works properly you have to put an icon inside. The text will not fit in. You can find hundreds of available icons in our icons docs.
You can apply almost all the same classes and attributes to the floating buttons as to the regular buttons - colors, ripples, sizes, outline, etc.
TagsThe MDBBtn
component is designed to be used with the <button>
element. However, you can also use it on <a>
or <input>
elements (though some browsers may apply a slightly different rendering).
When using button classes on <a>
elements that are used to trigger in-page functionality (like collapsing content), rather than linking to new pages or sections within the current page, these links should be given a role="button"
to appropriately convey their purpose to assistive technologies such as screen readers.
Fancy larger or smaller buttons? Add size="lg"
or size="sm"
for additional sizes.
Add .active
class to make the button look pressed.
Make buttons look inactive by adding the disabled
boolean attribute to any MDBBtn
element. Disabled buttons have pointer-events: none
applied to, preventing hover and active states from triggering.
Disabled MDBBtn using the a
tag behave a bit different:
<a>
s don’t support the disabled
attribute, so you must add the .disabled
class to make it visually appear disabled.pointer-events
on anchor buttons. In browsers which support that property, you won’t see the disabled cursor at all.aria-disabled="true"
attribute to indicate the state of the element to assistive technologies.Link functionality caveat:
The .disabled
class uses pointer-events: none
to try to disable the link functionality of <a>
s, but that CSS property is not yet standardized. In addition, even in browsers that do support pointer-events: none
, keyboard navigation remains unaffected, meaning that sighted keyboard users and users of assistive technologies will still be able to activate these links. So to be safe, add a tabindex="-1"
attribute on these links (to prevent them from receiving keyboard focus) and use custom JavaScript to disable their functionality.
Create responsive stacks of full-width, “block buttons” like those in Bootstrap 4 with a mix of our display and gap utilities. By using utilities instead of button specific classes, we have much greater control over spacing, alignment, and responsive behaviors.
Here we create a responsive variation, starting with vertically stacked buttons until the md
breakpoint, where .d-md-block
replaces the .d-grid
class, thus nullifying the gap-2
utility. Resize your browser to see them change.
You can adjust the width of your block buttons with grid column width classes. For example, for a half-width “block button”, use .col-6
. Center it horizontally with .mx-auto
, too.
Additional utilities can be used to adjust the alignment of buttons when horizontal. Here we’ve taken our previous responsive example and added some flex utilities and a margin utility on the button to right align the buttons when they’re no longer stacked.
Toggle statesAdd toggler<
> and v-model:toggle<
> props to toggle a button’s active<
> state.
