--- layout: docs title: List group description: Learn about Bootstrap's list group component for rendering series of related content. group: components --- 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 * Will be replaced with the ToC, excluding the "Contents" header {:toc} ## 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. {% example html %} {% endexample %} ## Active items Add `.active` to a `.list-group-item` to indicate the current active selection. {% example html %} {% endexample %} ## 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). {% example html %} {% endexample %} ## Links and buttons Use ``s or ` {% endexample %} ## Contextual classes Use contextual classes to style list items with a stateful background and color. {% example html %} {% endexample %} 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. {% example html %}

{% endhighlight %} ### Using data attributes You can activate a list group navigation without writing any JavaScript by simply specifying `data-toggle="list"` or on an element. Use these data attributes on `.list-group-item`.

### Via JavaScript Enable tabbable list item via JavaScript (each list item needs to be activated individually): {% highlight js %} $('#myList a').click(function (e) { e.preventDefault() $(this).tab('show') }) {% endhighlight %} You can activate individual list item in several ways: {% highlight js %} $('#myList a[href="#profile"]').tab('show') // Select tab by name $('#myList a:first').tab('show') // Select first tab $('#myList a:last').tab('show') // Select last tab $('#myList li:eq(2) a').tab('show') // Select third tab (0-indexed) {% endhighlight %} ### 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. {% highlight html %}

{% endhighlight %} ### Methods #### $().tab Activates a list item element and content container. Tab should have either a `data-target` or an `href` targeting a container node in the DOM. {% highlight html %}

{% endhighlight %} #### .tab('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). {% highlight js %} $('#someListItem').tab('show') {% endhighlight %} ### Events When showing a new tab, the events fire in the following order: 1. `hide.bs.tab` (on the current active tab) 2. `show.bs.tab` (on the to-be-shown tab) 3. `hidden.bs.tab` (on the previous active tab, the same one as for the `hide.bs.tab` event) 4. `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
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.
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.
{% highlight js %} $('a[data-toggle="list"]').on('shown.bs.tab', function (e) { e.target // newly activated tab e.relatedTarget // previous active tab }) {% endhighlight %}
