Progress

Documentation and examples for using Nova custom progress bars featuring support for stacked bars, animated backgrounds, and text labels.

How it works

Progress components are built with two HTML elements, some CSS to set the width, and a few attributes. Nova and Bootstrap don't use the HTML5 <progress> element, ensuring you can stack progress bars, animate them, and place text labels over them.

  • We use the .progress as a wrapper to indicate the max value of the progress bar.
  • We use the inner .progress-bar to indicate the progress so far.
  • The .progress-bar requires an inline style, utility class, or custom CSS to set their width.
  • The .progress-bar also requires some role and aria attributes to make it accessible.

Put that all together, and you have the following examples.

                            
                              <div class="progress mb-3">
                                <div class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" style="width: 25%" aria-valuenow="25" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
                              </div>
                              <div class="progress mb-3">
                                <div class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" style="width: 50%" aria-valuenow="50" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
                              </div>
                              <div class="progress mb-3">
                                <div class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" style="width: 75%" aria-valuenow="75" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
                              </div>
                              <div class="progress mb-3">
                                <div class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" style="width: 100%" aria-valuenow="100" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
                              </div>

Nova and Bootstrap provide a handful of utilities for setting width. Depending on your needs, these may help with quickly configuring progress.

                            
                              <div class="progress mb-3">
                                <div class="progress-bar w-75" role="progressbar" aria-valuenow="75" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
                              </div>

Labels

Add labels to your progress bars by placing text within the .progress-bar.

                                <div class="progress-bar bg-transparent h6 text-dark text-left mb-0 px-3" style="width: 30%">

                                </div>
                                <div class="progress-bar text-left ml-auto px-3" role="progressbar" style="width: 40%" aria-valuenow="40" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100">

                                </div<
                                <div class="progress-bar bg-semi-soft-primary text-right px-3" role="progressbar" style="width: 30%" aria-valuenow="30" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100">

                                </div>
                              </div>

Rounded

Use .progress-pill class.

                            
                              <div class="progress bg-semi-lighter progress-pill mb-4">
                                <div class="progress-bar bg-primary" role="progressbar" style="width: 90%" aria-valuenow="90" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
                              </div>

Sizes

Fancy larger or smaller progresses? Add .progress-xs, .progress-sm or progress-xl for additional sizes.

                            
                              <div class="progress progress-xs mb-3">
                                <div class="progress-bar bg-primary" role="progressbar" style="width: 90%" aria-valuenow="90" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
                              </div>

                              <div class="progress progress-sm mb-3">
                                <div class="progress-bar bg-primary" role="progressbar" style="width: 90%" aria-valuenow="90" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
                              </div>

                              <div class="progress mb-3">
                                <div class="progress-bar bg-primary" role="progressbar" style="width: 90%" aria-valuenow="90" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
                              </div>

                              <div class="progress progress-xl mb-3">
                                <div class="progress-bar bg-primary" role="progressbar" style="width: 90%" aria-valuenow="90" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
                              </div>

Backgrounds

Use background utility classes to change the appearance of individual progress bars.

                            
                              <div class="progress mb-3">
                                <div class="progress-bar bg-success" role="progressbar" style="width: 25%" aria-valuenow="25" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
                              </div>
                              <div class="progress mb-3">
                                <div class="progress-bar bg-info" role="progressbar" style="width: 50%" aria-valuenow="50" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
                              </div>
                              <div class="progress mb-3">
                                <div class="progress-bar bg-warning" role="progressbar" style="width: 75%" aria-valuenow="75" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
                              </div>
                              <div class="progress mb-3">
                                <div class="progress-bar bg-danger" role="progressbar" style="width: 100%" aria-valuenow="100" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
                              </div>

Multiple bars

Include multiple progress bars in a progress component if you need.

                            
                              <div class="progress mb-3">
                                <div class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" style="width: 15%" aria-valuenow="15" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
                                <div class="progress-bar bg-success" role="progressbar" style="width: 30%" aria-valuenow="30" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
                                <div class="progress-bar bg-info" role="progressbar" style="width: 20%" aria-valuenow="20" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
                              </div>
