Pagination
LeptonX uses
Bootstrap Pagination's
component's latest version.
Documentation and examples for showing pagination to indicate a series of related content exists
across multiple pages.
Example
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, it’s 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".

HTML
<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>
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.

<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>
</nav>
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 doesn’t account for keyboard navigation. As such, you should always add
tabindex="-1" on disabled links and use custom JavaScript to fully disable their
functionality.
