What is pagination?

Pagination are those numbered links we find either below a webpage or on top of a webpage. They are used to select pages between pages of a website.

How to create pagination using Bootstrap?

To create pagination using Bootstrap, we basically use two (2) HTML elements, the unordered list <ul> ,<a> and the <li> . The <ul> should have a class attribute of pagination and it should wrap all the <li>. Each <li> would have an <a> element where the href will seat.

Example

Let's look at the code example:

Bootstrap pagination

Explanation

  • Line 15: We add the pagination class to the <ul> HTML element and this <ul> wraps every other <li> . The pagination bootstrap class styles the <ul> element. We can also increase or reduce the size by adding the pagias nation-sm for small-sized paginated link and pagination-lg for large-sized paginated links.
  • Lines 16 to 19: We put our <li><a href="your link">Link name</a></li> and our pagination has a new style.
