Pagination
Documentation and examples for using Docs UI Kit custom progress bars featuring support for stacked bars, animated backgrounds and text labels.
Overview
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"
.
Working with icons
Are you 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 and the .sr-only
utility.
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.
