# ButtonGroup Overview

The ButtonGroup represents a group of buttons with similar functionalities.

It represents a container for two or more Button components. Depending on the requirements of your project, you can separately configure each Button in the ButtonGroup.

The ButtonGroup wrapper for React is a client-side wrapper for the [Kendo UI ButtonGroup](https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/buttongroup/index) widget.

## Basic Usage

The following example demonstrates the ButtonGroup in action.

```jsx-preview
class ButtonGroupContainer extends React.Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <div className="row">
                <div className="col-xs-12 col-sm-6 example-col">
                    <ButtonGroup>
                        <li>Option 1</li>
                        <li>Option 2</li>
                    </ButtonGroup>
                </div>
            </div>
        );
    }
