React Bootstrap Social buttons

React Social buttons - Bootstrap 4 & Material Design

Note: This documentation is for an older version of Bootstrap (v.4). A newer version is available for Bootstrap 5. We recommend migrating to the latest version of our product - Material Design for Bootstrap 5.
Go to docs v.5

Bootstrap social buttons are buttons which are dedicated for social media usage. Font Awesome covers icons for all major platforms.

Hard to imagine a good website or app without integration with Social Media.

With MDB it's child's play. We provide you buttons for the most popular social networks.

They work the same way as regular buttons. If you need more information about regular buttons, be sure to read our Buttons Documentation.
