Pagination
Documentation and examples for showing pagination to indicate a series of related content exists across multiple pages.
Overview
We use a large block of connected links for our pagination, making links hard to miss and easily scalable—all while providing large hit areas. Pagination is built with list HTML elements so screen readers can announce the number of available links. Use a wrapping <nav> element to identify it as a navigation section to screen readers and other assistive technologies.
Accessibility
- Use a wrapping
<nav>element to mark it as a navigation section - Provide a descriptive
aria-labelfor the<nav>element to reflect its purpose. For example, if the pagination component is used to navigate between a set of search results, an appropriate label could bearia-label="Search results pages".
<nav aria-label="Page navigation example">
<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>
With icons
Looking to use an icon or symbol in place of text for some pagination links? Be sure to provide proper screen reader support with aria attributes.
<nav aria-label="Page navigation example">
<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"><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="#" aria-label="Next">
<span aria-hidden="true">»</span>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
