ButtonGroup renders a button group bootstrap component.

For example,

// a button group with items configuration
echo ButtonGroup::widget([
    'buttons' => [
        ['label' => 'A'],
        ['label' => 'B'],
        ['label' => 'C', 'visible' => false],
    ]
]);

// button group with an item as a string
echo ButtonGroup::widget([
    'buttons' => [
        Button::widget(['label' => 'A']),
        ['label' => 'B'],
    ]
]);

Pressing on the button should be handled via JavaScript. See the following for details:
