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.

In addition, as pages likely have more than one such navigation section, itʼs advisable
to provide a descriptive aria-label for the <nav> to reflect its purpose. For example, if
the pagination component is used to navigate between a set of search results, an

 appropriate label could be aria-label="Search results pages".

<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Previous</a></li>

<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Next</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>

Working 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.

Disabled and active states

Pagination links are customizable for different circumstances. Use .disabled for links
that appear un-clickable and .active to indicate the current page.

While the .disabled class uses pointer-events: none to try to disable the link
functionality of <a>s, that CSS property is not yet standardized and doesnʼt account
for keyboard navigation. As such, you should always add tabindex="-1" on disabled
links and use custom JavaScript to fully disable their functionality.

 You can optionally swap out active or disabled anchors for <span>, or omit the anchor
in the case of the prev/next arrows, to remove click functionality and prevent keyboard
focus while retaining intended styles.

Sizing
Fancy larger or smaller pagination? Add .pagination-lg or .pagination-sm for
additional sizes.
