Bootstrap 4 Pagination
Bootstrap 4 Pagination
Bootstrap pagination is used to show the existence of a series of web pages of the website. It allows navigation on multiple pages of a website.
In pagination, there is a block of connected links that are easily scalable. Pagination is created with the help of an HTML element List so that the users can see the number of available links.
Example
Almost every search engine uses pagination to show the number of search results on the web pages.
Steps for creating basic pagination
- Use wrapping element <nav> for specifying navigation section.
- Add unordered list <ul> element with .pagination class.
- Add list item <li> element with .page-item class.
- Add .page-link class within the <a> element to provide link
- Add <a> element with .page-link class inside the <li> element.
Syntax
<nav> <ul class="pagination"> <li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Previous</a></li> </ul> </nav>
Example
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>Bootstrap Pagination Example</title> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css"> </head> <div class="container"> <h2>Pagination</h2> <nav> <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> </div> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.16.0/umd/popper.min.js"></script> <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script> </body> </html>
Output
Active and Disabled state - We can customize the pagination links as per the requirement. Pagination offers two classes for customizing links, these classes are .active class and .disable class.
The .disable class is used when we want to make our link un-clickable. This class uses CSS property “pointer-events: none;” to disable the functionality of links of <a> elements. Although, this property only disables mouse clicking. Users can still click on the disabled link with the help of keyboard keys. To make the link fully disabled we have to use the attribute tabindex = “ -1” and some custom javascript.
The .active class is used to show or highlight the current page.
