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".
<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>
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
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">
<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="visually-hidden">(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>
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" aria-current="page">
<span class="page-link">
2
<span class="visually-hidden">(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>
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 class="visually-hidden">(current)</span>
</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>
<nav aria-label="...">
<ul class="pagination pagination-sm">
<li class="page-item active" aria-current="page">
<span class="page-link">
1
<span class="visually-hidden">(current)</span>
</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>
Shape
Add .pagination-circle class to change the shape to a circle.
<nav aria-label="...">
<ul class="pagination pagination-circle">
<li class="page-item">
<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="visually-hidden">(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>
Alignment
Change the alignment of pagination components with flexbox utilities.
Use .justify-content-center class to center the pagination.
<nav aria-label="Page navigation example">
<ul class="pagination justify-content-center">
<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"><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>
Use .justify-content-end class to align the pagination to the right.
<nav aria-label="Page navigation example">
<ul class="pagination justify-content-end">
<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"><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>
