Nested Button Groups

Nested button groups demonstrating hierarchical action organization with sub-groups

Complex toolbars need hierarchy—nested groups organize related action clusters. This React component demonstrates shadcn/ui's ButtonGroup nesting with sub-groups (Bold/Italic as one unit, Underline/Strike as another) within parent groups. Built on Radix UI with nested ButtonGroup components, the pattern shows how related action pairs cluster within larger action sets. Perfect for text editors with formatting sub-sections (style vs decoration), design tools with transform sub-groups (position vs rotation), complex toolbars with action categories, or any interface needing multi-level action hierarchy—nested groups clarify sub-relationships, visual clustering improves scannability, hierarchical structure reduces cognitive load. The pattern enables sophisticated toolbar organization without visual chaos.
