Bootstrap 5 List group component

Responsive List group built with the latest Bootstrap 5. List gorup component used for displays a continuous group of text or images.

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.

Inbox
Draft

Trash
Spam

<ul class="list-group">
  <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">
    <i class="fa-solid fa-inbox fa-lg me-3"></i> Inbox
  </li>
  <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">
    <i class="fa-solid fa-envelope-open fa-lg me-3"></i> Draft
  </li>
  <hr/>
  <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">Trash</li>
  <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">Spam</li>
</ul>

Active items

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

Inbox
Draft

Trash
Spam

<ul class="list-group">
  <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-action"><i class="fa-solid fa-inbox fa-lg me-3"></i> Inbox</li>
  <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-action active"><i class="fa-solid fa-envelope-open fa-lg me-3"></i> Draft</li>
  <hr/>
  <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">Trash</li>
  <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">Spam</li>
</ul>

Disabled items

Add .disabled to .list-group-item to make it appear disabled. S

Inbox
Draft

Trash
Spam

<ul class="list-group">
  <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-action"><i class="fa-solid fa-inbox fa-lg me-3"></i> Inbox</li>
  <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-action disabled"><i class="fa-solid fa-envelope-open fa-lg me-3"></i> Draft</li>
  <hr/>
  <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">Trash</li>
  <li class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">Spam</li>
</ul>

Some elements with .disabled will also require custom JavaScript to fully disable their click events (e.g., links).

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.

Links

Inbox Draft Trash Spam

<div class="list-group">
  <a class="list-group-item list-group-item-action" href="#">
    <i class="fa-solid fa-inbox fa-lg me-3"></i> Inbox
  </a>
  <a class="list-group-item list-group-item-action active" href="#">
    <i class="fa-solid fa-envelope-open fa-lg me-3"></i> Draft
  </a>
  <a class="list-group-item list-group-item-action" href="#">Trash</a>
  <a class="list-group-item list-group-item-action disabled" href="#">Spam</a>
</div>

Buttons

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 class="list-group-item list-group-item-action" type="button">
    <i class="fa-solid fa-inbox fa-lg me-3"></i> Inbox
  </button>
  <button class="list-group-item list-group-item-action active" type="button">
    <i class="fa-solid fa-envelope-open fa-lg me-3"></i> Draft
  </button>
  <button class="list-group-item list-group-item-action" type="button">Trash</button>
  <button class="list-group-item list-group-item-action" type="button" disabled>Spam</button>
</div>

Flush

Add .list-group-flush to add a border to render list group items edge-to-edge in a parent container (e.g., cards).

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

<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-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.

Single-line item
Single-line item

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

These work great with custom content as well.

    </div>
    <span class="badge text-bg-primary">14</span>
  </li>
</ol>

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.

Want equal-width list group items when horizontal? Add .flex-fill to each list group item.

Checkboxes and radios

Place 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.

Contents

Usage

Use the tab plugin to extend our list group to create tabbable panes of local content. Check out tabs compoment for more information.

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.

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 .fade to each .tab-pane. The first tab pane must also have .show to make the initial content visible.

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

Methods

constructor

Activates a list item element and content container. Tab should have either a data-bs-target or an href targeting a container node in the DOM.

<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>

<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>

<script>
  const firstTabEl = document.querySelector('#myTab a:last-child')
  const firstTab = new bootstrap.Tab(firstTabEl)

  firstTab.show()
</script>

show

Selects the given list item and shows its associated pane. Any other list item that was previously selected becomes unselected and its associated pane is hidden. Returns to the caller before the tab pane has actually been shown (for example, before the shown.bs.tab event occurs).

const tab = new bootstrap.Tab('#someListItem')

tab.show()

dispose

Destroys an element’s tab.

getInstance

Static method which allows you to get the tab instance associated with a DOM element

const tab = bootstrap.Tab.getInstance('#trigger') // Returns a Bootstrap tab instance

getOrCreateInstance

Static method which allows you to get the tab instance associated with a DOM element, or create a new one in case it wasn’t initialized

const tab = bootstrap.Tab.getOrCreateInstance('#trigger') // Returns a Bootstrap tab instance

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, 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.

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
  })
})
