View more Tutorials:
The purpose of Bootstrap when creating "List Group" is to display one content as a list. In fact, only with HTML, normally you can create a list by using the tags <ul> & <li>. Bootstrap providing .list-group & .list-group-item classes. It is like a standard to create complex lists.
.list-group & .list-group-item
The following example is very basic, using the .list-group class applying to the <ul> tag and .list-group-item applying to the <li> tag:
list-group-example.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>List Group Example</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container mt-3">
<ul class="list-group">
<li class="list-group-item">Javascript</li>
<li class="list-group-item">Css</li>
<li class="list-group-item">Bootstrap</li>
</ul>
</div>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.slim.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.12.9/umd/popper.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

For the two .list-group & .list-group-item classes, you can create a list without using a pair of tags: <ul>,<li>:
<div class="list-group"> <div class="list-group-item">Java</div> <div class="list-group-item">C</div> <div class="list-group-item">C++</div> </div>
The Bootstrap provides .badge class, which can be used by you to create something to decorate for an element of the list.
.badge
<ul class="list-group"> <li class="list-group-item">Java <span class="badge badge-success float-right">14.21%</span></li> <li class="list-group-item">C <span class="badge badge-primary float-right">11.03%</span></li> <li class="list-group-item">C++ <span class="badge badge-secondary float-right">5.60%</span></li> </ul>
A simple list with links
<div class="list-group">
<a href = "#" class = "list-group-item active">
Bootstrap List Groups
</a>
<a href = "#" class = "list-group-item">Bootstrap Buttons</a>
<a href = "#" class = "list-group-item">Bootstrap NavBar</a>
<a href = "#" class = "list-group-item">Bootstrap Tables</a>
</div>
The .active class is used together with .list-group-item when you want to highlight the current list-group-item, to emphasize that the list-group-item is selected. Otherwise, if you do not want the user to interact with a list-group-item, you can use the .disable class to disable it.
