[ButtonGroup] Support vertical option

[sasanrasouli]

there is no vertical ButtonGroup in Material UI. how can I change horizontal ButtonGroup to vertical one? Do I make my own Buttons group together with display: 'block'?

Hi,

I made a demo on codesandbox with a vertical button group.

Code: https://codesandbox.io/s/material-ui-vertical-button-group-o5dgf
Demo: https://o5dgf.csb.app/

Updated:
Code https://codesandbox.io/s/material-ui-vertical-button-group-bu52u
Demo: https://bu52u.csb.app

does this help? @sasanrasouli

I pushed up a PR which adds orientation to ButtonGroup, to see what folks think.

[sasanrasouli]

@adeelibr thank you, dude.

If this resolves your issue, can you kindly close this issue? :) @sasanrasouli

I have added the waiting for users upvotes tag. I'm not sure people are looking for such abstraction. So please upvote this issue if you are. We will prioritize our effort based on the number of upvotes.

What about something like this?

@slipmat Do you want to resume your effort? :)

[SandraMarcelaHerreraArriaga]

@oliviertassinari this issue is working by someone?

[oliviertassinari]

Not I'm aware of.

[mark-tate]

Sorry, I've been distracted on some other things.
Sandra, if you want to pick this up, your welcome, otherwise, I'm happy to resume.

[SandraMarcelaHerreraArriaga]

@slipmat thank you in a few moments I create pull request of this :)

[simkessy]

What would be the approach if you want to have icons that are aligned? Right now I have this:

          <ButtonGroup
            orientation="vertical"
            color="primary"
            aria-label="vertical outlined primary button group"
          >
            <Button
              variant="contained"
              color="secondary"
              type="button"
              endIcon={<Add />}
            >
              Add
            </Button>
            <Button color="primary" type="button" endIcon={<Remove />}>
              Remove
            </Button>
          </ButtonGroup>
