# Button group: Nested groups

> Groups inside a group become separate clusters with a gap between them, each joined on its own.

Example: https://hextaui.com/docs/button-group/examples/nested
Component docs: https://hextaui.com/docs/button-group.md

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/button-group-nested.json
```

This adds `components/examples/button-group/nested.tsx` with the Button group component and the HextaUI theme tokens.

## Source

```tsx title="components/examples/button-group/nested.tsx"
"use client"

import * as React from "react"
import { IconArrowLeft, IconArrowRight } from "@tabler/icons-react"

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import { ButtonGroup } from "@/components/ui/button-group"

const pages = [1, 2, 3, 4]

export function ButtonGroupNested() {
  const [page, setPage] = React.useState(1)

  return (
    <ButtonGroup aria-label="Pagination">
      <ButtonGroup>
        <Button
          variant="outline"
          size="icon"
          aria-label="Previous page"
          disabled={page === 1}
          onClick={() => setPage(page - 1)}
        >
          <IconArrowLeft className="rtl:-scale-x-100" />

          <Button
            key={value}
            variant={value === page ? "secondary" : "outline"}
            size="icon"
            aria-current={value === page ? "page" : undefined}
            onClick={() => setPage(value)}
          >
            {value}
