Buttons are an essential component of websites and applications, designed for various purposes such as submitting or resetting HTML forms, performing interactive actions like displaying or hiding content on the webpage when users click a button, redirecting users to another webpage, ... . Bootstrap supports easy and quick creation and customization of buttons.
