Documentation and examples for showing pagination to indicate a series of related content exists across multiple pages.
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>
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>
Pagination links are customizable for different circumstances. Use
.disabled
for links that appear un-clickable and
.active
to indicate the current page.
<nav aria-label="...">
<ul class="pagination">
<li class="page-item disabled">
<a class="page-link" href="#" tabindex="-1" aria-disabled="true">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 <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></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>
Fancy larger or smaller pagination? Add
.pagination-lg
or
.pagination-sm
for additional sizes.
