List group
List groups are a flexible and powerful component for displaying a series of content. List group items can be modified and extended to support just about any content within. They can also be used as navigation with the right modifier class.
Contents
- Basic example
- Active items
- Disabled items
- Links and buttons
- Contextual classes
- With badges
- Custom content
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.
<ul class="list-group"> <li class="list-group-item">Cras justo odio</li> <li class="list-group-item">Dapibus ac facilisis in</li> <li class="list-group-item">Morbi leo risus</li> <li class="list-group-item">Porta ac consectetur ac</li> <li class="list-group-item">Vestibulum at eros</li> </ul>
Active items
Add .active
to a .list-group-item
to indicate the current active selection.
<ul class="list-group"> <li class="list-group-item active">Cras justo odio</li> <li class="list-group-item">Dapibus ac facilisis in</li> <li class="list-group-item">Morbi leo risus</li> <li class="list-group-item">Porta ac consectetur ac</li> <li class="list-group-item">Vestibulum at eros</li> </ul>
Disabled items
Add .disabled
to a .list-group-item
to make it appear disabled. Note that some elements with .disabled
will also require custom JavaScript to fully disable their click events (e.g., links).
<ul class="list-group"> <li class="list-group-item disabled">Cras justo odio</li> <li class="list-group-item">Dapibus ac facilisis in</li> <li class="list-group-item">Morbi leo risus</li> <li class="list-group-item">Porta ac consectetur ac</li> <li class="list-group-item">Vestibulum at eros</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 to not use the standard .btn
classes here.
<div class="list-group"> <a href="#" class="list-group-item active"> Cras justo odio </a> <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">Dapibus ac facilisis in</a> <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">Morbi leo risus</a> <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">Porta ac consectetur ac</a> <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action disabled">Vestibulum at eros</a> </div>
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.
<div class="list-group"> <button type="button" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action active"> Cras justo odio </button> <button type="button" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">Dapibus ac facilisis in</button> <button type="button" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">Morbi leo risus</button> <button type="button" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">Porta ac consectetur ac</button> <button type="button" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action" disabled>Vestibulum at eros</button> </div>
Contextual classes
Use contextual classes to style list items with a stateful background and color.
<ul class="list-group"> <li class="list-group-item">Dapibus ac facilisis in</li> <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-success">Dapibus ac facilisis in</li> <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-info">Cras sit amet nibh libero</li> <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-warning">Porta ac consectetur ac</li> <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-danger">Vestibulum at eros</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 .active
state; apply it to indicate an active selection on a contextual list group item.
<div class="list-group"> <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">Dapibus ac facilisis in</a> <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action list-group-item-success">Dapibus ac facilisis in</a> <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action list-group-item-info">Cras sit amet nibh libero</a> <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action list-group-item-warning">Porta ac consectetur ac</a> <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action list-group-item-danger">Vestibulum at eros</a> </div>
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 (e.g. the visible text), or is included through alternative means, such as additional text hidden with the .sr-only
class.
With badges
Add badges to any list group item to show unread counts, activity, and more with the help of some utilities. Note the justify-content-between
utility class and the badge’s placement.
<ul class="list-group"> <li class="list-group-item justify-content-between"> Cras justo odio <span class="badge badge-default badge-pill">14</span> </li> <li class="list-group-item justify-content-between"> Dapibus ac facilisis in <span class="badge badge-default badge-pill">2</span> </li> <li class="list-group-item justify-content-between"> Morbi leo risus <span class="badge badge-default badge-pill">1</span> </li> </ul>
Custom content
Add nearly any HTML within, even for linked list groups like the one below, with the help of flexbox utilities.
<div class="list-group"> <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action flex-column align-items-start active"> <div class="d-flex w-100 justify-content-between"> <h5 class="mb-1">List group item heading</h5> <small>3 days ago</small> </div> <p class="mb-1">Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus. Maecenas sed diam eget risus varius blandit.</p> <small>Donec id elit non mi porta.</small> </a> <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action flex-column align-items-start"> <div class="d-flex w-100 justify-content-between"> <h5 class="mb-1">List group item heading</h5> <small class="text-muted">3 days ago</small> </div> <p class="mb-1">Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus. Maecenas sed diam eget risus varius blandit.</p> <small class="text-muted">Donec id elit non mi porta.</small> </a> <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action flex-column align-items-start"> <div class="d-flex w-100 justify-content-between"> <h5 class="mb-1">List group item heading</h5> <small class="text-muted">3 days ago</small> </div> <p class="mb-1">Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus. Maecenas sed diam eget risus varius blandit.</p> <small class="text-muted">Donec id elit non mi porta.</small> </a> </div>
