```js
import {ActionMenu, Button, ButtonGroup} from '@primer/react-brand'
```

## Examples

### Default

This is the default variant for the ButtonGroup component. The first item in the group uses the primary button variant and the second uses the secondary button variant.

```jsx
<ButtonGroup>
  <Button>This is one button</Button>
  <Button>This is another button</Button>
</ButtonGroup>
```

### Action menus

`ButtonGroup` supports up to two `Button` or `ActionMenu` children and applies a default `variant` to each one.

Explicit `variant` overrides to `Button` or `ActionMenu.Button` will override the default values.

`buttonSize` applies to both child types. Because `ActionMenu` supports only `small` and `medium`, it remains `medium` when `buttonSize="large"`. Set `size` on `ActionMenu` to override the inherited size.

```jsx
<ButtonGroup>
  <Button>Primary action</Button>
  <ActionMenu>
    <ActionMenu.Button>More actions</ActionMenu.Button>
    <ActionMenu.Overlay aria-label="More actions">
      <ActionMenu.Item value="contact-sales">Contact sales</ActionMenu.Item>
      <ActionMenu.Item value="view-pricing">View pricing</ActionMenu.Item>
    </ActionMenu.Overlay>
  </ActionMenu>
</ButtonGroup>
```

### Sizes

The ButtonGroup component supports `small`, `medium`, and `large` buttons. The default size is `medium`. ActionMenu children support `small` and `medium`.

```jsx
<ButtonGroup buttonSize="large">
  <Button>This is one large button</Button>
  <Button>This is another large button</Button>
</ButtonGroup>
```

### Polymorphism

The `Button` component can render as a `button` or `a` HTML element. By default, it will render as a `button`.

```jsx
<ButtonGroup>
  <Button as="a" href="#">
    This is one link
  </Button>
  <Button as="a" href="#">
    This is another link
  </Button>
</ButtonGroup>
```
