Bootstrap 5 Pagination


Pagination component is used to create a series of links to navigate through multiple pages.

Basic Pagination

  • The pagination component is created using the .pagination class for the <ul> element.
  • .page-item class is used for each page item.
  • .page-link class is used for the actual page link.
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>
