Pagination

Considerations

Note the use of the cluster layout helper.

Note how the pagination links meet the requirements of WCAG Success Criterion 2.5.5: Target Size (AAA).

The aria-label attribute has been added to the nav element. This is because the main website navigation also uses the nav element. Where there are multiplenav elements on a single page, all must be given a unique accessible name via aria-label.

For all pagination links excluding the current page, span class="visuallyhidden">page</span is added to provide additional context to the link wording for users of Assistive Technology.

The current page is indicated by aria-current="page". As per the breadcrumbs component, it is fully linked so that users of Assistive Technology can find which is the currently active link. The aria-labelon the current page link provides the same additional context as the visually-hidden span on other pagination links.

The angle bracket characters used within the links for the very first and very last pages are wrapped inside span aria-hidden="true" to hide them from assistive technology users. Accessible text labels are added using span class="visuallyhidden".
