Bootstrap 5 doesn't rely on jQuery like Bootstrap 4 did, but you can still add it if needed.
For more information, visit https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/getting-started/javascript/
While Bootstrap 5 is intended to be used without jQuery, it's still possible to integrate our components with jQuery.
In response to your inquiry:
The pagination component does not require any javascript at all. I have included placeholder links like in the sample code for demonstration purposes – please replace them with your own links.
To learn more, go to https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/components/pagination/#overview
Simply update the link hrefs in the example code where placeholders (#) are indicated.
<nav aria-label="Page navigation example">
<ul class="pagination">
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="https://www.example.org/">Previous</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="https://www.example.org/">1</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="https://www.example.org/">2</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="https://www.example.org/">3</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="https://www.example.org/">Next</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
If you're looking for a way to actually implement data pagination, that functionality is not provided by Bootstrap. You'll need server-side logic to enable proper data pagination.
