--- layout: docs title: Pagination group: components --- [//]: # DO NOT EDIT IT WILL BE OVERWRITTEN - copy of bootstrap documentation generated by gulp docs:copy:bs-docs {% callout info %} **Bootstrap Reference Documentation** This is a part of the reference documentation from Bootstrap. It is included here to demonstrate rendering with Bootstrap Material Design default styling. See the Material Design section for more elements and customization options. {% endcallout %} Provide pagination links for your site or app with the multi-page pagination component. ## Contents * Will be replaced with the ToC, excluding the "Contents" header {:toc} ## Overview Simple pagination inspired by Rdio, great for apps and search results. The large block is hard to miss, easily scalable, and provides large click areas. {% example html %} {% endexample %} {% callout info %} ### Labelling the pagination component The pagination component should be wrapped in a `

` element to identify it as a navigation section to screen readers and other assistive technologies. In addition, as a page is likely to have more than one such navigation section already (such as the primary navigation in the header, or a sidebar navigation), it is advisable to provide a descriptive `aria-label` for the `

` which reflects 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"`. {% endcallout %} ## Disabled and active states Links are customizable for different circumstances. Use `.disabled` for unclickable links and `.active` to indicate the current page. {% callout warning %} #### Link functionality caveat The `.disabled` class uses `pointer-events: none` to try to disable the link functionality of ``s, but that CSS property is not yet standardized. In addition, even in browsers that do support `pointer-events: none`, keyboard navigation remains unaffected, meaning that sighted keyboard users and users of assistive technologies will still be able to activate these links. So to be safe, add a `tabindex="-1"` attribute on these links (to prevent them from receiving keyboard focus) and use custom JavaScript to disable their functionality. {% endcallout %} {% example html %} {% endexample %} You can optionally swap out active or disabled anchors for ``, or omit the anchor in the case of the prev/next arrows, to remove click functionality and prevent keyboard focus while retaining intended styles. {% example html %} {% endexample %} ## Sizing Fancy larger or smaller pagination? Add `.pagination-lg` or `.pagination-sm` for additional sizes. {% example html %} {% endexample %} {% example html %} {% endexample %}
