Paginations
Documentation and examples for showing pagination to indicate a series of related content exists across multiple pages.
Overview
We use a large block of connected links for our pagination, making links hard to miss and easily scalable—all while providing large hit areas. Pagination is built with list HTML elements so screen readers can announce the number of available links. Use a wrapping <nav>
element to identify it as a navigation section to screen readers and other assistive technologies.
<nav aria-label="Page navigation example">
<ul class="pagination">
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Previous</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">1</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">2</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">3</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Next</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
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.
<nav aria-label="Page navigation example">
<ul class="pagination">
<li class="page-item">
<a class="page-link" href="#" aria-label="Previous">
<span aria-hidden="true">«</span>
</a>
</li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">1</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">2</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">3</a></li>
<li class="page-item">
<a class="page-link" href="#" aria-label="Next">
<span aria-hidden="true">»</span>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
Disabled and active states
<nav aria-label="...">
<ul class="pagination">
<li class="page-item disabled">
<a class="page-link" href="#" tabindex="-1">Previous</a>
</li>
<li class="page-item">
<a class="page-link" href="#">1</a>
</li>
<li class="page-item active" aria-current="page">
<a class="page-link" href="#">2</a>
</li>
<li class="page-item">
<a class="page-link" href="#">3</a>
</li>
<li class="page-item">
<a class="page-link" href="#">Next</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
Sizing
Fancy larger or smaller pagination? Add .pagination-lg
or .pagination-sm
for additional sizes.
<nav aria-label="...">
<ul class="pagination pagination-lg">
<li class="page-item active" aria-current="page">
<span class="page-link">1</span>
</li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">2</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">3</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
Alignment
Change the alignment of pagination components with flexbox utilities.
<nav aria-label="...">
<ul class="pagination justify-content-center mb-0">
<li class="page-item disabled">
<a class="page-link" href="#" tabindex="-1">Previous</a>
</li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">1</a></li>
