Bootstrap has 7 different types of buttons with contextual classes from which we can create buttons easily by using these classes (.btn-default, .btn-success, .btn-danger, .btn-primary, .btn-info, .btn-warning, .btn-link).
Example Code:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Button Default</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Button Primary</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success">Button Success</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-info">Button Info</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-warning">Button Warning</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger">Button Danger</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-link">Button Link</button>
We can also make different size of buttons by using different button size classes (.btn-sm, .btn-lg, .btn-md, .btn-xs).
Example Code:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg">Large button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-md">Mediumbutton</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success btn-sm">Small button </button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger btn-xs">extraSmall button </button>
Here we also have a .btn-block level button spans the entire width of the parent element.
Example Code:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-block">Button 1</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger btn-lgbtn-block">Button 2</button>
A button can be set to an .active class (appear pressed) or a .disabled class (unclickable) state.
Example Code:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary active">Active Primary</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary disabled">Disabled Primary</button>
