Pagination

Documentation and examples for showing pagination to indicate a series of related content exists across multiple pages.

Example

								
									<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 and the .sr-only utility.

								
									<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>
													<span class="sr-only">Previous</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>
													<span class="sr-only">Next</span>
												</a>
											</li>
										</ul>
									</nav>
								
							

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.

								
									<nav aria-label="...">
										<ul class="pagination 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>
											<li class="page-item active">
												<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>

									<nav aria-label="...">
										<ul class="pagination pg-secondary mb-0">
											<li class="page-item disabled">
												<a class="page-link" href="#" tabindex="-1">Previous</a>
											</li>
											<li class="page-item active">
												<a class="page-link" href="#">1  <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></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>

									<nav aria-label="...">
										<ul class="pagination pg-warning mb-0">
											<li class="page-item">
												<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 ">
												<a class="page-link" href="#">2</a>
											</li>
											<li class="page-item active"><a class="page-link" href="#">3 <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a></li>
											<li class="page-item">
												<a class="page-link" href="#">Next</a>
											</li>
										</ul>
									</nav>
								
							

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.

								
									<nav aria-label="...">
										<ul class="pagination">
											<li class="page-item disabled">
												<span class="page-link">Previous</span>
											</li>
											<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">1</a></li>
											<li class="page-item active">
												<span class="page-link">
												2
												<span class="sr-only">(current)</span>
												</span>
											</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>
								
							

Alignment

Change the alignment of pagination components with flexbox utilities.

								
									<nav aria-label="Page navigation example">
										<ul class="pagination justify-content-center">
											<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"><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>
								
							
								
									<nav aria-label="Page navigation example">
										<ul class="pagination justify-content-end">
											<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"><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>
