Pagination
Pagination splits long lists, tables and search results into pages. The examples go from the basic markup and sizes to alignment, ellipsis for long ranges, table and grid footers, custom shapes and compact pagers for small screens.
1Basic pagination
Previous, numbered pages and next, wrapped in a <code>nav</code> with an accessible label.
<nav aria-label="Page navigation">
<ul class="pagination">
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Previous</a></li>
<li class="page-item active" aria-current="page"><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>2Arrow icons
Replace the words with symbols and keep an <code>aria-label</code> for screen readers.
<nav aria-label="Results pages">
<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 active" aria-current="page"><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="#">4</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#" aria-label="Next"><span aria-hidden="true">»</span></a></li>
</ul>
</nav>3Active and disabled
The current page is <code>.active</code>; Previous is <code>.disabled</code> on the first page.
<nav aria-label="Article pages">
<ul class="pagination">

<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Next</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>4Large
<code>.pagination-lg</code> for touch-friendly, prominent controls.

<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#" aria-label="Next"><span aria-hidden="true">»</span></a></li>
</ul>
</nav>6Centered
<code>.justify-content-center</code> on the list centers it.
<nav aria-label="Centered pagination">
<ul class="pagination justify-content-center">
