Toggle Group

Two-state button groups for editor toolbars, view switchers, and filter bars — with the neobrutalist borders-and-shadows treatment.

import { Bold, Italic, Underline } from "lucide-react"

import {

The toggle group is a row of two-state buttons where one (the default) or several (multiple) can be pressed at a time. Built on the Base UI Toggle Group component and styled to the neobrutalist recipe: thick borders, hard shadows, and bold type.

Reach for it when:

Editor toolbars — bold/italic/underline, text alignment, list styles with multiple.
View switchers — grid vs. list, chart vs. table, day/week/month; the default keeps at most one active.
Filter bars — tags, categories, or facets the user can stack on and off.

Usage

import { ToggleGroup, ToggleGroupItem } from "@/components/ui/toggle-group"

<ToggleGroup>
  <ToggleGroupItem value="a">A</ToggleGroupItem>
  <ToggleGroupItem value="b">B</ToggleGroupItem>
  <ToggleGroupItem value="c">C</ToggleGroupItem>
</ToggleGroup>

Only one item can be pressed at a time by default. Add the multiple prop to allow several.

Composition

Use the following composition to build a ToggleGroup:

ToggleGroup
├── ToggleGroupItem
└── ToggleGroupItem

Examples

Outline

Use variant="outline" for an outline style.

import {
  ToggleGroup,
  ToggleGroupItem,

Size

Use the size prop to change the size of the toggle group.

import {
  ToggleGroup,
  ToggleGroupItem,

Spacing

Use spacing to add spacing between toggle group items.

import {
  ToggleGroup,
  ToggleGroupItem,

Vertical

Use orientation="vertical" for vertical toggle groups.

import { BoldIcon, ItalicIcon, UnderlineIcon } from "lucide-react"

Accessibility

Each item is a toggle button per the WAI-ARIA Button pattern: the group renders role="group" and every item is a real <button> with aria-pressed, in both single and multiple mode. Focus uses a roving tabindex, so the whole group is a single Tab stop. Icon-only items need an aria-label.

Keyboard interactions:

Key	Action
`Tab` / `Shift + Tab`	Move focus into the group and out
`Space` / `Enter`	Toggle the focused item
`ArrowRight` / `ArrowDown`	Move focus to the next item
`ArrowLeft` / `ArrowUp`	Move focus to the previous item
`Home` / `End`	Jump to the first / last item
