List group

List groups are a flexible and powerful component for displaying not only simple lists of elements, but complex ones with custom content.

Alternate styling

The list group item will be styled differently if you use li.list-group-item. This is best illustrated in the Basic list group/Basic list group alternate and the Linked list group/Linked list group using list items examples.

Basic example

The most basic list group is simply an unordered list with list items, and the proper classes. Build upon it with the options that follow, or your own CSS as needed.

{% highlight html %} {% endhighlight %}

Basic list group alternate

This style matches the default Linked list group.

Cras justo odio

Dapibus ac facilisis in

Morbi leo risus

Porta ac consectetur ac

Vestibulum at eros

{% highlight html %}

Cras justo odio

Dapibus ac facilisis in

Morbi leo risus

Porta ac consectetur ac

Vestibulum at eros

{% endhighlight %}

Badges

Add the badges component to any list group item and it will automatically be positioned on the right.

{% highlight html %} {% endhighlight %}

Linked items

Linkify list group items by using anchor tags instead of list items (that also means a parent <div> instead of an <ul>). No need for individual parents around each element.

{% highlight html %}
Cras justo odio Dapibus ac facilisis in Morbi leo risus Porta ac consectetur ac Vestibulum at eros
{% endhighlight %}

Linked list group using list items

Linkify list group items by using list items instead of anchor tags.

Plugin dependency

The list group collapsible menu requires the collapse plugin to be included in your version of Bootstrap.

Make list group collapsible menus accessible

Be sure to add a role="menu" to every list-group-item-menu and dropdown-menu to help with accessibility.

{% highlight html %} {% endhighlight %}

Button items

List group items may be buttons instead of list items (that also means a parent <div> instead of an <ul>). No need for individual parents around each element. Don't use the standard .btn classes here.

{% highlight html %}
{% endhighlight %}

Disabled items

Add .disabled to a .list-group-item to gray it out to appear disabled.

{% highlight html %}
Cras justo odio Dapibus ac facilisis in Morbi leo risus Porta ac consectetur ac Vestibulum at eros
{% endhighlight %}

Contextual classes

Use contextual classes to style list items, default or linked. Also includes .active state.

  • Dapibus ac facilisis in
  • Cras sit amet nibh libero
  • Porta ac consectetur ac
  • Vestibulum at eros
{% highlight html %}
Dapibus ac facilisis in Cras sit amet nibh libero Porta ac consectetur ac Vestibulum at eros
{% endhighlight %}

Custom content

Add nearly any HTML within, even for linked list groups like the one below.

{% highlight html %}

List group item heading

...

{% endhighlight %}
