Pagination
The pagination class makes easy to generate pagination links.
Usage
Basics
First you'll have to create a pagination object. The first parameter is the total count of the items you want to paginate. The second parameter is optional and lets you set the number of items to be displayed on each page. If left empty then it'll use the default value specified in the pagination config file. There's also an optional third parameter that lets you override the other settings set in the configuration file.
$pagination = $this->pagination->create(Articles::count());
Once the pagination object is created we can fetch the articles from the database. Use the limit
and offset
methods to set the range of your query.
$articles = Articles::limit($pagination->limit())->offset($pagination->offset())->all();
With the query builder
You can also use the pagination
method of the query builder. It will automatically perform the count and apply the appropriate limit and offset.
The first parameter is optional and lets you set the number of items to be displayed on each page. If left empty then it'll use the default value specified in the pagination config file. There's also an optional second parameter that lets you override the other settings set in the configuration file.
$articles = Articles::paginate();
Pagination rendering
You can render the pagination partial in the article list view using the render
method.
$pagination->render('partials.pagination');
If you used the paginate
method of the query builder then you can access the pagination object using the getPagination
method on the result set.
$articles->getPagination()->render('partials.pagination');
Example view
Here's an example of what a pagination partial can look like if you're using Twitter Bootstrap.
<ul class="pagination">
{% if(isset($previous)) %}
<li><a href="{{preserve:$first}}">First</a></li>
<li><a href="{{preserve:$previous}}">Prev</a></li>
{% endif %}
{% foreach($pages as $page) %}
{% if($page['is_current']) %}
<li class="active"><span>{{$page['number']}}</span></li>
{% else %}
<li><a href="{{preserve:$page['url']}}">{{$page['number']}}</a></li>
{% endif %}
{% endforeach %}
{% if(isset($next)) %}
<li><a href="{{preserve:$next}}">Next</a></li>
<li><a href="{{preserve:$last}}">Last</a></li>
{% endif %}
</ul>
