# Progress Documentation and examples for using Bootstrap custom progress bars featuring support for stacked bars, animated backgrounds, and text labels. ## How it works Progress components are built with two HTML elements, some CSS to set the width, and a few attributes. We don't use [the HTML5 `` element](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/progress), ensuring you can stack progress bars, animate them, and place text labels over them. - We use the `.progress` as a wrapper to indicate the max value of the progress bar. - We use the inner `.progress-bar` to indicate the progress so far. - The `.progress-bar` requires an inline style, utility class, or custom CSS to set their width. - The `.progress-bar` also requires some `role` and `aria` attributes to make it accessible. Put that all together, and you have the following examples. ```html
``` Bootstrap provides a handful of [utilities for setting width](/utilities/sizing/). Depending on your needs, these may help with quickly configuring progress. ```html
``` ## Labels Add labels to your progress bars by placing text within the `.progress-bar`. ```html
25%
``` ## Height We only set a `height` value on the `.progress`, so if you change that value the inner `.progress-bar` will automatically resize accordingly. ```html
``` ## Backgrounds Use background utility classes to change the appearance of individual progress bars. ```html
``` ## Multiple bars Include multiple progress bars in a progress component if you need. ```html
``` ## Striped Add `.progress-bar-striped` to any `.progress-bar` to apply a stripe via CSS gradient over the progress bar's background color. ```html
``` ## Animated stripes The striped gradient can also be animated. Add `.progress-bar-animated` to `.progress-bar` to animate the stripes right to left via CSS3 animations. ```html
``` ## Progress group ```html

``` ## Customizing ### CSS variables Progress bars use local CSS variables on `.progress` for enhanced real-time customization. Values for the CSS variables are set via SASS, so Sass customization is still supported, too. ```scss --cui-progress-height: #{$progress-height}; @include rfs($progress-font-size, --cui-progress-font-size); --cui-progress-bg: #{$progress-bg}; --cui-progress-border-radius: #{$progress-border-radius}; --cui-progress-box-shadow: #{$progress-box-shadow}; --cui-progress-bar-color: #{$progress-bar-color}; --cui-progress-bar-bg: #{$progress-bar-bg}; --cui-progress-bar-transition: #{$progress-bar-transition}; ``` ### SASS variables ```scss $progress-height: 1rem; $progress-font-size: $font-size-base * .75; $progress-bg: var(--#{$prefix}secondary-bg); $progress-border-radius: var(--#{$prefix}border-radius); $progress-box-shadow: var(--#{$prefix}box-shadow-inset); $progress-bar-color: $white; $progress-bar-bg: var(--#{$prefix}primary); $progress-bar-animation-timing: 1s linear infinite; $progress-bar-transition: width .6s ease; // TODO: clean-up ??? $progress-group-margin-bottom: $spacer; $progress-group-header-margin-bottom: $spacer * .25; ``` ### Keyframes Used for creating the CSS animations for `.progress-bar-animated`. Included in `scss/_progress-bar.scss`. ```scss @if $enable-transitions { @keyframes progress-bar-stripes { 0% { background-position-x: var(--#{$prefix}progress-height); } } } ```

CoreUI vs Bootstrap

While this Progress component is fully compatible with Bootstrap and follows its core principles, CoreUI delivers a more complete solution for modern app development.
