Buttons with icons

Bootstrap 5 Buttons with icons component

Responsive buttons with icons built with Bootstrap 5. Enhance your web design with stylish, intuitive buttons that include icons for improved user experience.

Floating

Use .btn-floating class 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.

            <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-floating" data-mdb-ripple-init>
              <i class="fas fa-download"></i>
            </button>
          
        
    
        
            
            // Initialization for ES Users
            import { Ripple, initMDB } from "mdb-ui-kit";

            initMDB({ Ripple });

You can apply almost all the same classes and attributes to the floating buttons as to the regular buttons - colors, ripples, sizes, outline, etc.

Fixed buttons

Use .fixed-action-btn class to create a fixed button with a list of available options that shows on hover or click.

See the live example of a fixed button in the bottom right corner of this page.

Note: There are available show/hide methods to manually open and close the list. Read the API tab to find more info.

Social

Combining our icons and custom colors you can create social buttons. See all available icons in our icons search (check "brands" to filter brand icons).

Note: If you use custom colors you need to remove our predefined color classes like .btn-primary or .btn-danger. Instead of this, you need to add class .text-white>.

In the example below, we place a Facebook icon <i class="fab fa-facebook-f"></i> inside the button and set a background-color to #3B5998 (facebook brand color).

            import { Ripple, initMDB } from "mdb-ui-kit";

            initMDB({ Ripple });

Text

You don't need to use only an icon. You can add text to the button. Remember to add some spacing classes (for example .me-2) to provide a proper space between icon and text.

            import { Ripple, initMDB } from "mdb-ui-kit";

            initMDB({ Ripple });

Only icon

By removing button classes and replacing background-color with color you can create minimalistic, clickable icons.
