Pagination
Bootstrap 5 Pagination component
Documentation and examples for showing pagination to indicate a series of related content exists across multiple pages.
Basic example
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.
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"
.
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.
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.
Sizing
Fancy larger or smaller pagination? Add .pagination-lg
or
.pagination-sm
for additional sizes.
Shape
Add .pagination-circle
class to change the shape to a circle.
Alignment
Change the alignment of pagination components with flexbox utilities.
Use .justify-content-center
class to center the pagination.
Use .justify-content-end
class to align the pagination to the right.
