Bootstrap 4 Pagination
Basic Pagination
If you have a web site with lots of pages, you may wish to add some sort of pagination to each page.
To create a basic pagination, add the .pagination class to an <ul> element. Then add the .page-item to each <li> element and a .page-link class to each link inside <li>:
Example
<ul class="pagination">
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Previous</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">1</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">2</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">3</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Next</a></li>
</ul>

Active State
The .active class is used to "highlight" the current page:
Example
<ul class="pagination">
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Previous</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">1</a></li>
<li class="page-item active"><a class="page-link" href="#">2</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">3</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Next</a></li>
</ul>

Disabled State
The .disabled class is used for un-clickable links:
Example
<ul class="pagination">
<li class="page-item disabled"><a class="page-link" href="#">Previous</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">1</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">2</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">3</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Next</a></li>
</ul>

Pagination Sizing
Pagination blocks can also be sized to a larger or a smaller size:
Add class .pagination-lg for larger blocks or .pagination-sm for smaller blocks:
Example
<ul class="pagination pagination-lg">
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Previous</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">1</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">2</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">3</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Next</a></li>
</ul>
<ul class="pagination pagination-sm">
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Previous</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">1</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">2</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">3</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Next</a></li>
</ul>

Pagination Alignment
Use utility classes to change the alignment of the pagination:
Example
<!-- Default (left-aligned) -->
<ul class="pagination" style="margin:20px 0">
<li class="page-item">...</li>
</ul>
<!-- Center-aligned -->
<ul class="pagination justify-content-center" style="margin:20px 0">
<li class="page-item">...</li>
</ul>
<!-- Right-aligned -->
<ul class="pagination justify-content-end" style="margin:20px 0">
<li class="page-item">...</li>
</ul>

Breadcrumbs
Another form for pagination, is breadcrumbs:
The .breadcrumb and .breadcrumb-item classes indicates the current page's location within a navigational hierarchy:
Example
<ul class="breadcrumb">
<li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Photos</a></li>
<li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Summer 2017</a></li>
<li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Italy</a></li>
<li class="breadcrumb-item active">Rome</li>
</ul>
