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.

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

Active items

Add .active to a .list-group-item to indicate the current active selection.

A fourth item

html

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.

Make .list-group-item-action instances appear disabled by adding .disabled, and aria-disabled="true" to inform assistive technologies that the element is disabled. You may require additional JavaScript to fully disable links and buttons.

Be sure to not use the standard .btn classes here.

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

html

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

html

Flush

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

A third item

html

Numbered

Add the .list-group-numbered modifier 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 browser styling) for better placement inside list group items and to allow for better customization.

Numbers are generated by counter-reset on the <ol>, and then styled and placed with a ::before pseudo-element on the <li> with counter-increment and content.

These work great with custom content as well.

Horizontal

Add .list-group-horizontal to 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-fill to each list group item.

Variants

Heads up! As of v5.3.0, the list-group-item-variant() Sass mixin is deprecated. List group item variants now have their CSS variables overridden in a Sass loop.

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

For links and buttons

Contextual classes also work with .list-group-item-action for <a> and <button> elements. Note the addition of the hover styles here not present in the previous example. Also supported is the .active state; 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

html

Accessibility tip: Using color to add meaning only provides a visual indication, which will not be conveyed to users of assistive technologies like screen readers. Please ensure the meaning is obvious from the content itself (e.g., the visible text with a sufficient color contrast) or is included through alternative means, such as additional text hidden with the .visually-hidden class.

With badges

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

A list item 14
A second list item 2
A third list item 1

html

Custom content

Add nearly any HTML within, even for linked list groups like the one below, with the help of flexbox utilities.

List group item heading

Some placeholder content in a paragraph.

And some small print.

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-label attribute and value for accessibility.

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

CSS

Variables

Added in v5.2.0

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

scss/_list-group.scss

Sass variables

scss/_variables.scss

Sass mixins

Deprecated in v5.3.0

scss/mixins/_list-group.scss

Sass loops

Loop that generates the modifier classes with an overriding of CSS variables.

scss/_list-group.scss

JavaScript behavior

Use the tab JavaScript plugin—include it individually or through the compiled bootstrap.js file—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.

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.

html

Via JavaScript

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

You can activate individual list item in several ways:

javascript

Fade effect

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

html

Methods

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. Learn more in our JavaScript docs.

Activates your content as a tab element.

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

javascript

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 (i.e. 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.tab event)
shown.bs.tab (on the newly-active just-shown tab, the same one as for the show.bs.tab event)

If no tab was already active, then the hide.bs.tab and hidden.bs.tab events 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.
