title: Segmented Control
summary: A segmented control is a set of two or more segments, each of which functions as a mutually exclusive button. A segmented control is used to display a set of mutually exclusive options.
---

To create a segmented control, use the `nav` element with the `nav-segmented` class. Inside the `nav` element, add `button` or `a` elements with the `nav-link` class. The `nav-link` class is used to style the buttons as links. 

```html
<nav class="nav nav-segmented" role="tablist">
	<button class="nav-link" role="tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" aria-selected="true" aria-current="page">
		First
	</button>
	...
</nav>
```

See the example below to see how the segmented control looks.

```html example centered background="white"
<nav class="nav nav-segmented" role="tablist">
	<button class="nav-link active" role="tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" aria-selected="true" aria-current="page">
		First
	</button>
	<button class="nav-link" role="tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" aria-selected="false" tabindex="-1">
		Second
	</button>
	<button class="nav-link" disabled role="tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" aria-selected="false" tabindex="-1">
		Disabled
	</button>
</nav>
```

## Full width

To make the segmented control full width, add the `w-100` class to the `nav` element. It will take up the full width of its parent container.

```html
<nav class="nav nav-segmented w-100" role="tablist">
	...
</nav>
```

The results can be seen in the example below.

```html example vcentered background="white"
<nav class="nav nav-segmented w-100" role="tablist">
	<button class="nav-link active" role="tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" aria-selected="true" aria-current="page">
		Daily
	</button>
	<button class="nav-link" role="tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" aria-selected="false" tabindex="-1">
		Weekly
	</button>
	<button class="nav-link" role="tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" aria-selected="false" tabindex="-1">
		Monthly
	</button>
	<button class="nav-link" role="tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" aria-selected="false" tabindex="-1">
		Quarterly
	</button>
	<button class="nav-link" role="tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" aria-selected="false" tabindex="-1">
		Yearly
	</button>
</nav>
```

## With emojis

You can also use emojis in the segmented control. To do this, add the emoji inside the `button` element.

```html example centered background="white"
<nav class="nav nav-segmented nav-1" role="tablist">
	<button class="nav-link active" role="tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" aria-selected="true" aria-current="page">
		👦
	</button>
	<button class="nav-link" role="tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" aria-selected="false" tabindex="-1">
		👦🏿
	</button>
	<button class="nav-link" role="tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" aria-selected="false" tabindex="-1">
		👦🏾
	</button>
	<button class="nav-link" role="tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" aria-selected="false" tabindex="-1">
		👦🏽
	</button>
	<button class="nav-link" role="tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" aria-selected="false" tabindex="-1">
		👦🏼
	</button>
	<button class="nav-link" role="tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" aria-selected="false" tabindex="-1">
		👦🏻
	</button>
</nav>
```

## With icons

You can also use icons in the segmented control. To do this, add the icon inside the `button` element.


```html example centered background="white"
<nav class="nav nav-segmented" role="tablist">
	<button class="nav-link active" role="tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" aria-selected="true" aria-current="page">

## Vertical direction

To create a vertical segmented control, add the `nav-segmented-vertical` class to the `nav` element.

```html
<nav class="nav nav-segmented-vertical" role="tablist">
	...
</nav>
```

The results can be seen in the example below.

```html example centered background="white"
<nav class="nav nav-segmented nav-segmented-vertical" role="tablist">
		<button class="nav-link active" role="tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" aria-selected="true" aria-current="page">

## Sizes 

You can also change the size of the segmented control. To do this, add the `nav-sm` or `nv-lg` class to the `nav` element. The `nav-sm` class will make the segmented control smaller, while the `nav-lg` class will make it larger.

```html
<nav class="nav nav-segmented nav-sm" role="tablist">
	...
</nav>
```

The results can be seen in the examples below.

```html example vertical centered background="white" separated
<nav class="nav nav-segmented nav-sm" role="tablist">
	<button class="nav-link active" role="tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" aria-selected="true" aria-current="page">

	<button class="nav-link" role="tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" aria-selected="false" tabindex="-1">
