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

<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>

In felt, a list group is one sewn sheet: a seam runs around it and a row of stitches between the items. The active item is a raised patch laid on the sheet, with the seam redrawn across it in the patch's own thread.

Active items#

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

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

<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>

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

<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 href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action disabled" aria-disabled="true">A disabled link item</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" 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-flush to remove some borders and rounded corners 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.

A list item

<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.

<ol class="list-group list-group-numbered">

    <div class="ms-2 me-auto">
      <div class="fw-bold">Subheading</div>
      Content for list item
    </div>
    <span class="badge text-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 text-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 text-bg-primary rounded-pill">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, use the responsive variant .list-group-horizontal-md to make a list group horizontal starting at the md breakpoint's min-width (768px). felt-css has no -sm, -lg, -xl or -xxl variants here. 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.

An item
A second item
A third item

<ul class="list-group list-group-horizontal">
  <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>
</ul>
<ul class="list-group list-group-horizontal-md">
  <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>
</ul>

Variants#

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

<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>

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

<div class="list-group">
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">A simple default list group item</a>
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action list-group-item-primary">A simple primary list group item</a>
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action list-group-item-secondary">A simple secondary list group item</a>
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action list-group-item-success">A simple success list group item</a>
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action list-group-item-danger">A simple danger list group item</a>
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action list-group-item-warning">A simple warning list group item</a>
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action list-group-item-info">A simple info list group item</a>
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action list-group-item-light">A simple light list group item</a>
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action list-group-item-dark">A simple dark list group item</a>
</div>

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) 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

<ul class="list-group">
  <li class="list-group-item d-flex justify-content-between align-items-center">
    A list item
    <span class="badge text-bg-primary rounded-pill">14</span>
  </li>
  <li class="list-group-item d-flex justify-content-between align-items-center">
    A second list item
    <span class="badge text-bg-primary rounded-pill">2</span>
  </li>
  <li class="list-group-item d-flex justify-content-between align-items-center">
    A third list item
    <span class="badge text-bg-primary rounded-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.

List group item heading

Some placeholder content in a paragraph.

And some small print.

    <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">Some placeholder content in a paragraph.</p>

  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">
    <div class="d-flex w-100 justify-content-between">
      <h5 class="mb-1">List group item heading</h5>
      <small class="text-body-secondary">3 days ago</small>
    </div>
    <p class="mb-1">Some placeholder content in a paragraph.</p>
    <small class="text-body-secondary">And some muted small print.</small>
  </a>
</div>

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.

First checkbox
Second checkbox
Third checkbox

<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

<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">
    <input class="form-check-input me-1" type="radio" name="listGroupRadio" value="" id="thirdRadio">
    <label class="form-check-label" for="thirdRadio">Third radio</label>
  </li>
</ul>

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

First checkbox
Second checkbox
Third checkbox

<ul class="list-group">
  <li class="list-group-item">
    <input class="form-check-input me-1" type="checkbox" value="" id="firstCheckboxStretched">
    <label class="form-check-label stretched-link" for="firstCheckboxStretched">First checkbox</label>
  </li>
  <li class="list-group-item">
    <input class="form-check-input me-1" type="checkbox" value="" id="secondCheckboxStretched">
    <label class="form-check-label stretched-link" for="secondCheckboxStretched">Second checkbox</label>
  </li>
  <li class="list-group-item">
    <input class="form-check-input me-1" type="checkbox" value="" id="thirdCheckboxStretched">
    <label class="form-check-label stretched-link" for="thirdCheckboxStretched">Third checkbox</label>
  </li>
</ul>

JavaScript behavior#

Use Bootstrap's tab JavaScript plugin to extend the list group into tabbable panes of local content. Add data-bs-toggle="list" to each .list-group-item and point its href at a .tab-pane; add .fade to the panes (and .show to the first) to make them fade in.

Methods (show, dispose, getInstance, getOrCreateInstance) and events (show.bs.tab, shown.bs.tab, hide.bs.tab, hidden.bs.tab) work exactly as described in Bootstrap's list group documentation.

const triggerEl = document.querySelector('#list-tab a[href="#list-profile"]')
bootstrap.Tab.getOrCreateInstance(triggerEl).show()
