Pagination Examples
In addition, as pages likely have more than one such navigation
section, it’s advisable to provide a descriptive
aria-label
for the
<nav>
to reflect its purpose. For example, if the pagination component
is used to navigate between a set of search results, an
appropriate label could be
aria-label="Search results pages".
Disabled and active states
Pagination links are customizable for different circumstances.
Use
.disabled
for links that appear un-clickable and
.active
to indicate the current page.
While the
.disabled
class uses
pointer-events: none
to
try
to disable the link functionality of
<a>s, that CSS property is not yet
standardized and doesn’t account for keyboard navigation. As
such, you should always add
tabindex="-1"
on disabled links and use custom JavaScript to fully disable
their functionality.
You can optionally swap out active or disabled anchors for
<span>, or omit the anchor in the case of the
prev/next arrows, to remove click functionality and prevent
keyboard focus while retaining intended styles.
Pagination With Color
In addition, as pages likely have more than one such navigation
section, it’s advisable to provide a descriptive
aria-label
for the
<nav>
to reflect its purpose. For example, if the pagination component
is used to navigate between a set of search results, an
appropriate label could be
aria-label="Search results pages".
Working with icons
Looking to use an icon or symbol in place of text for some
pagination links? Be sure to provide proper screen reader
support with
aria
attributes.
Pagination Sizing
Fancy larger or smaller pagination? Add
.pagination-lg
or
.pagination-sm
for additional sizes.
