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 <progress> element, 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

<div class="progress">
  <div class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" aria-valuenow="0" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
</div>
<div class="progress">
  <div class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" style="width: 25%" aria-valuenow="25" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
</div>
<div class="progress">
  <div class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" style="width: 50%" aria-valuenow="50" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
</div>
<div class="progress">
  <div class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" style="width: 75%" aria-valuenow="75" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
</div>
<div class="progress">
  <div class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" style="width: 100%" aria-valuenow="100" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
</div>

Bootstrap provides a handful of utilities for setting width. Depending on your needs, these may help with quickly configuring progress.

html

<div class="progress">
  <div class="progress-bar w-75" role="progressbar" aria-valuenow="75" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
</div>

Labels

Add labels to your progress bars by placing text within the .progress-bar.

25%

html

<div class="progress">
  <div class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" style="width: 25%;" aria-valuenow="25" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100">25%</div>
</div>

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

<div class="progress" style="height: 1px;">
  <div class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" style="width: 25%;" aria-valuenow="25" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
</div>
<div class="progress" style="height: 20px;">
  <div class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" style="width: 25%;" aria-valuenow="25" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
</div>

Backgrounds

Use background utility classes to change the appearance of individual progress bars.

html

<div class="progress">
  <div class="progress-bar bg-success" role="progressbar" style="width: 25%" aria-valuenow="25" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
</div>
<div class="progress">
  <div class="progress-bar bg-info" role="progressbar" style="width: 50%" aria-valuenow="50" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
</div>
<div class="progress">
  <div class="progress-bar bg-warning" role="progressbar" style="width: 75%" aria-valuenow="75" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
</div>
<div class="progress">
  <div class="progress-bar bg-danger" role="progressbar" style="width: 100%" aria-valuenow="100" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
</div>

Multiple bars

Include multiple progress bars in a progress component if you need.

html

<div class="progress">
  <div class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" style="width: 15%" aria-valuenow="15" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
  <div class="progress-bar bg-success" role="progressbar" style="width: 30%" aria-valuenow="30" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
  <div class="progress-bar bg-info" role="progressbar" style="width: 20%" aria-valuenow="20" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
</div>

Striped

Add .progress-bar-striped to any .progress-bar to apply a stripe via CSS gradient over the progress bar’s background color.

html

<div class="progress">
  <div class="progress-bar progress-bar-striped" role="progressbar" style="width: 10%" aria-valuenow="10" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
</div>
<div class="progress">
  <div class="progress-bar progress-bar-striped bg-success" role="progressbar" style="width: 25%" aria-valuenow="25" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
</div>
<div class="progress">
  <div class="progress-bar progress-bar-striped bg-info" role="progressbar" style="width: 50%" aria-valuenow="50" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
</div>
<div class="progress">
  <div class="progress-bar progress-bar-striped bg-warning" role="progressbar" style="width: 75%" aria-valuenow="75" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
</div>
<div class="progress">
  <div class="progress-bar progress-bar-striped bg-danger" role="progressbar" style="width: 100%" aria-valuenow="100" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
</div>

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

<div class="progress">
  <div class="progress-bar progress-bar-striped progress-bar-animated" role="progressbar" aria-valuenow="75" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100" style="width: 75%"></div>
</div>

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/_progress.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/_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/_progress.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.

What sets CoreUI apart from Bootstrap?

✅ Fully compatible with Bootstrap – Built directly on Bootstrap, all classes and behaviors work as expected.
🧠 Framework-native versions – CoreUI provides dedicated libraries for React.js, Vue.js, and Angular, unlike Bootstrap which relies on third-party plugins for JavaScript frameworks.
👨‍💻 Maintained by a full-time team – CoreUI is developed as a professional product, not a volunteer-driven project.
📦 More built-in components – Includes additional ready-to-use components like range sliders, multi-selects, steppers, etc.
🛠️ Sass Modules support today – CoreUI already supports Sass Modules, which are planned for Bootstrap 6.
🌍 Better LTR/RTL support – Uses modern CSS logical properties for seamless bidirectional layout support.
🔒 LTS (Long-Term Support) – Bootstrap now offers LTS only via paid third parties like HeroDevs, while CoreUI continues to offer long-term support natively and for free.

Whether you’re building internal tools, dashboards, or SaaS platforms — CoreUI combines the familiarity of Bootstrap with a more powerful, scalable, and production-ready ecosystem.
