List group

List groups are a flexible and powerful component for displaying a series of content. Modify and extend them to support just about any content within.

On this page

basic example

The most basic list group is an unordered list with list items and the proper classes. Build upon it with the options that follow, or with your own CSS as needed.

An item
A second item
A third item
A fourth item
And a fifth one

html

<ul class="list-group">
  <li class="list-group-item">An item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">A second item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">A third item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">A fourth item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">And a fifth one</li>
</ul>

active items

Add .activeto a .list-group-itemto indicate the current active selection.

An active item
A second item
A third item
A fourth item
And a fifth one

html

<ul class="list-group">
  <li class="list-group-item active" aria-current="true">An active item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">A second item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">A third item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">A fourth item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">And a fifth one</li>
</ul>

Disabled Items

Add .disabledto a .list-group-itemto make it appear disabled. Note that some elements with .disabledwill also require custom JavaScript to fully disable their click events (eg, links).

A disabled item
A second item
A third item
A fourth item
And a fifth one

html

<ul class="list-group">
  <li class="list-group-item disabled" aria-disabled="true">A disabled item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">A second item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">A third item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">A fourth item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">And a fifth one</li>
</ul>

Links and buttons

Use <a>s or <button>s to create actionable list group items with hover, disabled, and active states by adding .list-group-item-action. We separate these pseudo-classes to ensure list groups made of non-interactive elements (like <li>s or <div>s) don't provide a click or tap affordance.

Be sure not to use the standard .btnclasses here .

The current link item A second link item A third link item A fourth link item A disabled link item

html

<div class="list-group">
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action active" aria-current="true">
    The current link item
  </a>
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">A second link item</a>
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">A third link item</a>
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">A fourth link item</a>
  <a class="list-group-item list-group-item-action disabled">A disabled link item</a>
</div>

With <button>s, you can also make use of the disabledattribute instead of the .disabledclass. Sadly, <a>s don't support the disabled attribute.

html

<div class="list-group">
  <button type="button" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action active" aria-current="true">
    The current button
  </button>
  <button type="button" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">A second button item</button>
  <button type="button" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">A third button item</button>
  <button type="button" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">A fourth button item</button>
  <button type="button" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action" disabled>A disabled button item</button>
</div>

Flush

Add .list-group-flushto remove some borders and rounded corners to render list group items edge-to-edge in a parent container (eg, cards).

An item
A second item
A third item
A fourth item
And a fifth one

html

<ul class="list-group list-group-flush">
  <li class="list-group-item">An item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">A second item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">A third item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">A fourth item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">And a fifth one</li>
</ul>

numbered

Add the .list-group-numberedmodifier class (and optionally use an <ol>element) to opt into numbered list group items. Numbers are generated via CSS (as opposed to a <ol>s default styling browser) for better placement inside list group items and to allow for better customization.

Numbers are generated by counter-reseton the <ol>, and then styled and placed with a ::beforepseudo-element on the <li>with counter-incrementand content.

A list item

html

<ol class="list-group list-group-numbered">
  <li class="list-group-item">A list item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">A list item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">A list item</li>
</ol>

These work great with custom content as well.

    <div class="ms-2 me-auto">
      <div class="fw-bold">Subheading</div>
      Content for list item
    </div>
    <span class="badge bg-primary rounded-pill">14</span>
  </li>
  <li class="list-group-item d-flex justify-content-between align-items-start">
    <div class="ms-2 me-auto">
      <div class="fw-bold">Subheading</div>
      Content for list item
    </div>
    <span class="badge bg-primary rounded-pill">14</span>
  </li>
</ol>

Horizontal

Add .list-group-horizontalto change the layout of list group items from vertical to horizontal across all breakpoints. alternatively, choose a responsive variant .list-group-horizontal-{sm|md|lg|xl|xxl}to make a list group horizontal starting at that breakpoint's min-width. Currently horizontal list groups cannot be combined with flush list groups.

ProTip: Want equal-width list group items when horizontal? Add .flex-fillto each list group item.

Contextual classes

Use contextual classes to style list items with a stateful background and color.

A simple default list group item
A simple primary list group item
A simple secondary list group item
A simple success list group item
A simple danger list group item
A simple warning list group item
A simple info list group item
A simple light list group item
A simple dark list group item

html

<ul class="list-group">
  <li class="list-group-item">A simple default list group item</li>

  <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-primary">A simple primary list group item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-secondary">A simple secondary list group item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-success">A simple success list group item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-danger">A simple danger list group item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-warning">A simple warning list group item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-info">A simple info list group item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-light">A simple light list group item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-dark">A simple dark list group item</li>
</ul>

Contextual classes also work with .list-group-item-action. Note the addition of the hover styles here not present in the previous example. also supported is the .activestate; apply it to indicate an active selection on a contextual list group item.

A simple default list group item A simple primary list group item A simple secondary list group item A simple success list group item A simple danger list group item A simple warning list group item A simple info list group item A simple light list group item A simple dark list group item

Conveying meaning to assistive technologies

Using color to add meaning only provides a visual indication, which will not be conveyed to users of assistive technologies – such as screen readers. Ensure that information denoted by the color is either obvious from the content itself (eg the visible text), or is included through alternative means, such as additional text hidden with the .visually-hiddenclass.

With badges

Add badges to any list group item to show unread counts, activity, and more with the help of some utilities .

Checkboxes and radios

Place Bootstrap's checkboxes and radios within list group items and customize as needed. You can use them without <label>s, but please remember to include an aria-labelattribute and value for accessibility.

First checkbox
Second checkbox
Third checkbox

html

<ul class="list-group">
  <li class="list-group-item">
    <input class="form-check-input me-1" type="checkbox" value="" id="firstCheckbox">
    <label class="form-check-label" for="firstCheckbox">First checkbox</label>
  </li>
  <li class="list-group-item">
    <input class="form-check-input me-1" type="checkbox" value="" id="secondCheckbox">
    <label class="form-check-label" for="secondCheckbox">Second checkbox</label>
  </li>
  <li class="list-group-item">
    <input class="form-check-input me-1" type="checkbox" value="" id="thirdCheckbox">
    <label class="form-check-label" for="thirdCheckbox">Third checkbox</label>
  </li>
</ul>

First radio
Second radio
third radio

html

<ul class="list-group">
  <li class="list-group-item">
    <input class="form-check-input me-1" type="radio" name="listGroupRadio" value="" id="firstRadio" checked>
    <label class="form-check-label" for="firstRadio">First radio</label>
  </li>
  <li class="list-group-item">
    <input class="form-check-input me-1" type="radio" name="listGroupRadio" value="" id="secondRadio">
    <label class="form-check-label" for="secondRadio">Second radio</label>
  </li>
  <li class="list-group-item">

    <label class="form-check-label" for="thirdRadio">Third radio</label>
  </li>
</ul>

You can use .stretched-linkon <label>s to make the whole list group item clickable.

Variables

Added in v5.2.0

As part of Bootstrap's evolving CSS variables approach, list groups now use local CSS variables on .list-groupfor enhanced real-time customization. Values for the CSS variables are set via Sass, so Sass customization is still supported, too.

  --#{$prefix}list-group-color: #{$list-group-color};
  --#{$prefix}list-group-bg: #{$list-group-bg};
  --#{$prefix}list-group-border-color: #{$list-group-border-color};
  --#{$prefix}list-group-border-width: #{$list-group-border-width};
  --#{$prefix}list-group-border-radius: #{$list-group-border-radius};
  --#{$prefix}list-group-item-padding-x: #{$list-group-item-padding-x};
  --#{$prefix}list-group-item-padding-y: #{$list-group-item-padding-y};
  --#{$prefix}list-group-action-color: #{$list-group-action-color};
  --#{$prefix}list-group-action-hover-color: #{$list-group-action-hover-color};
  --#{$prefix}list-group-action-hover-bg: #{$list-group-hover-bg};
  --#{$prefix}list-group-action-active-color: #{$list-group-action-active-color};
  --#{$prefix}list-group-action-active-bg: #{$list-group-action-active-bg};
  --#{$prefix}list-group-disabled-color: #{$list-group-disabled-color};
  --#{$prefix}list-group-disabled-bg: #{$list-group-disabled-bg};
  --#{$prefix}list-group-active-color: #{$list-group-active-color};
  --#{$prefix}list-group-active-bg: #{$list-group-active-bg};
  --#{$prefix}list-group-active-border-color: #{$list-group-active-border-color};

Mixins

Used in combination with $theme-colorsto generate the contextual variant classes for .list-group-items.

@mixin list-group-item-variant($state, $background, $color) {
  .list-group-item-#{$state} {
    color: $color;
    background-color: $background;

    &.list-group-item-action {
      &:hover,
      &:focus {
        color: $color;
        background-color: shade-color($background, 10%);
      }

      &.active {
        color: $white;
        background-color: $color;
        border-color: $color;
      }
    }
  }
}

loop

Loop that generates the modifier classes with the list-group-item-variant()mixin.

// List group contextual variants
//
// Add modifier classes to change text and background color on individual items.
// Organizationally, this must come after the `:hover` states.

@each $state, $value in $theme-colors {
  $list-group-variant-bg: shift-color($value, $list-group-item-bg-scale);
  $list-group-variant-color: shift-color($value, $list-group-item-color-scale);
  @if (contrast-ratio($list-group-variant-bg, $list-group-variant-color) < $min-contrast-ratio) {
    $list-group-variant-color: mix($value, color-contrast($list-group-variant-bg), abs($list-group-item-color-scale));
  }

  @include list-group-item-variant($state, $list-group-variant-bg, $list-group-variant-color);
}

JavaScript behavior

Use the tab JavaScript plugin—include it individually or through the compiled bootstrap.jsfile—to extend our list group to create tabbable panes of local content.

Home Profile messages Settings

Some placeholder content in a paragraph relating to "Home". And some more content, used here just to pad out and fill this tab panel. In production, you would obviously have more real content here. And not just text. It could be anything, really. Text, images, forms.

Some placeholder content in a paragraph relating to "Profile". And some more content, used here just to pad out and fill this tab panel. In production, you would obviously have more real content here. And not just text. It could be anything, really. Text, images, forms.

Some placeholder content in a paragraph relating to "Messages". And some more content, used here just to pad out and fill this tab panel. In production, you would obviously have more real content here. And not just text. It could be anything, really. Text, images, forms.

Using data attributes

You can activate a list group navigation without writing any JavaScript by simply specifying data-bs-toggle="list"or on an element. Use these data attributes on .list-group-item.

<div role="tabpanel">
  <!-- List group -->
  <div class="list-group" id="myList" role="tablist">
    <a class="list-group-item list-group-item-action active" data-bs-toggle="list" href="#home" role="tab">Home</a>
    <a class="list-group-item list-group-item-action" data-bs-toggle="list" href="#profile" role="tab">Profile</a>
    <a class="list-group-item list-group-item-action" data-bs-toggle="list" href="#messages" role="tab">Messages</a>
    <a class="list-group-item list-group-item-action" data-bs-toggle="list" href="#settings" role="tab">Settings</a>
  </div>

  <!-- Tab panes -->
  <div class="tab-content">
    <div class="tab-pane active" id="home" role="tabpanel">...</div>
    <div class="tab-pane" id="profile" role="tabpanel">...</div>
    <div class="tab-pane" id="messages" role="tabpanel">...</div>
    <div class="tab-pane" id="settings" role="tabpanel">...</div>
  </div>
</div>

Via JavaScript

Enable tabbable list item via JavaScript (each list item needs to be activated individually):

const triggerTabList = document.querySelectorAll('#myTab a')
triggerTabList.forEach(triggerEl => {
  const tabTrigger = new bootstrap.Tab(triggerEl)

  triggerEl.addEventListener('click', event => {
    event.preventDefault()
    tabTrigger.show()
  })
})

You can activate individual list item in several ways:

const triggerEl = document.querySelector('#myTab a[href="#profile"]')
bootstrap.Tab.getInstance(triggerEl).show() // Select tab by name

const triggerFirstTabEl = document.querySelector('#myTab li:first-child a')
bootstrap.Tab.getInstance(triggerFirstTabEl).show() // Select first tab

fade effect

To make tabs panel fade in, add .fadeto each .tab-pane. The first tab pane must also have .showto make the initial content visible.

<div class="tab-content">
  <div class="tab-pane fade show active" id="home" role="tabpanel">...</div>

methods

Asynchronous methods and transitions

All API methods are asynchronous and start a transition . They return to the caller as soon as the transition is started but before it ends . In addition, a method call on a transitioning component will be ignored .

See our JavaScript documentation for more information .

Activates your content as a tab element.

You can create a tab instance with the constructor, for example:

const bsTab = new bootstrap.Tab('#myTab')

method	Description
`dispose`	Destroys an element's tab.
`getInstance`	Static method which allows you to get the tab instance associated with a DOM element, you can use it like this: `bootstrap.Tab.getInstance(element)`.
`getOrCreateInstance`	Static method which returns a tab instance associated to a DOM element or create a new one in case it wasn't initialized. You can use it like this: `bootstrap.Tab.getOrCreateInstance(element)`.
`show`	Selects the given tab and shows its associated pane. Any other tab that was previously selected becomes unselected and its associated pane is hidden. Returns to the caller before the tab pane has actually been shown (ie before the `shown.bs.tab`event occurs).

Events

When showing a new tab, the events fire in the following order:

hide.bs.tab(on the current active tab)
show.bs.tab(on the to-be-shown tab)
hidden.bs.tab(on the previous active tab, the same one as for the hide.bs.tabevent)
shown.bs.tab(on the newly-active just-shown tab, the same one as for the show.bs.tabevent)

If no tab was already active, then the hide.bs.taband hidden.bs.tabevents will not be fired.

event type	Description
`hide.bs.tab`	This event fires when a new tab is to be shown (and thus the previous active tab is to be hidden). Use `event.target`and `event.relatedTarget`to target the current active tab and the new soon-to-be-active tab, respectively.
`hidden.bs.tab`	This event fires after a new tab is shown (and thus the previous active tab is hidden). Use `event.target`and `event.relatedTarget`to target the previous active tab and the new active tab, respectively.
`show.bs.tab`	This event fires on tab show, but before the new tab has been shown. Use `event.target`and `event.relatedTarget`to target the active tab and the previous active tab (if available) respectively.
`shown.bs.tab`	This event fires on tab show after a tab has been shown. Use `event.target`and `event.relatedTarget`to target the active tab and the previous active tab (if available) respectively.

const tabElms = document.querySelectorAll('a[data-bs-toggle="list"]')
tabElms.forEach(tabElm => {
  tabElm.addEventListener('shown.bs.tab', event => {
    event.target // newly activated tab
    event.relatedTarget // previous active tab
  })
})
