Basic Pagination
In Bootstrap, “pagination” refers to a set of links used to navigate between different pages of content on a website.
To create a basic pagination, add the .pagination class to an <ul> element. Then add the .page-item to each <li> element and a .page-link class to each link inside <li>:
Example:
<nav>
<ul class="pagination">
<li class="page-item disabled"><a class="page-link" href="#">Previous</a></li>
<li class="page-item active"><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>
Output:
Active State
The .active class is used to “highlight” the current page:
Example:
<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 active"><a class="page-link" href="#">3</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Next</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
Output:
Disabled State
The .disabled class is used for un-clickable links:
Example:
<ul class="pagination">
<li class="page-item disabled"><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>Output:
Pagination Sizing
The blocks of pagination can also be sized larger or smaller.
You can use class .pagination pagination-lg for large block:
Example:
<nav>
<ul class="pagination pagination-lg">
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Previous</a></li>
<li class="page-item active"><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="#">Next</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
Output:
You can use class .pagination pagination-sm for small block:
Example:
<nav>
<ul class="pagination pagination-sm">
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Previous</a></li>
<li class="page-item active"><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="#">Next</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
Output:
Pagination Alignment
Use utility classes to change the alignment of the pagination:
Example:
<nav>
<!-- Alignment Left (Default) -->
<ul class="pagination">
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Previous</a></li>
<li class="page-item active"><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="#">Next</a></li>
</ul>
<!-- Alignment Center -->
<ul class="pagination justify-content-center">
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Previous</a></li>
<li class="page-item active"><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="#">Next</a></li>
</ul>
<!-- Alignment Right -->
<ul class="pagination justify-content-end">
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Previous</a></li>
<li class="page-item active"><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="#">Next</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>Output:
Breadcrumbs
In Bootstrap, “breadcrumbs(Another form for pagination)” is a navigation element that displays a user’s current location within a website’s hierarchy, essentially showing the path they took to reach the current page, while “pagination” is a system for dividing content into distinct pages.
Example:
<nav aria-label="breadcrumb">
<ol class="breadcrumb">
<li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Library</a></li>
<li class="breadcrumb-item active" aria-current="page">Data</li>
</ol>
</nav>
Output:
