Quick Start

npm install ngx-pagination --save

Angular Version

This library is built to work with Angular 2.3.0+, and support ahead-of-time compilation. If you need to support an earlier or pre-release version of Angular for now, please see the changelog for advice on which version to use.

Module Format

This library ships as a "flat ES module" (FESM). This means that all the JavaScript code is located in a single ES5-compatible file, but makes use of ES2015 import and export statements.

Webpack, Systemjs and Rollup all support this format and should work without problems.

A UMD bundle is also provided for systems which do not support FESM.

Simple Example

// app.module.ts
import {NgModule} from '@angular/core';
import {BrowserModule} from '@angular/platform-browser';
import {NgxPaginationModule} from 'ngx-pagination'; // <-- import the module
import {MyComponent} from './my.component';

@NgModule({
    imports: [BrowserModule, NgxPaginationModule], // <-- include it in your app module
    declarations: [MyComponent],
    bootstrap: [MyComponent]
})
export class MyAppModule {}

// my.component.ts
import {Component} from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'my-component',
    template: `
    <ul>
      <li *ngFor="let item of collection | paginate: { itemsPerPage: 10, currentPage: p }"> ... </li>
    </ul>
               
    <pagination-controls (pageChange)="p = $event"></pagination-controls>
    `
})
export class MyComponent {
    p: number = 1;
    collection: any[] = someArrayOfThings;  
}

API

PaginatePipe

The PaginatePipe should be placed at the end of an NgFor expression. It accepts a single argument, an object conforming to the PaginationInstance interface. The following config options are available:

<element *ngFor="let item of collection | paginate: { id: 'foo',
                                                      itemsPerPage: pageSize,
                                                      currentPage: p,
                                                      totalItems: total }">...</element>

• itemsPerPage [number] - required The number of items to display on each page.
• currentPage [number] - required The current (active) page number.
• id [string] If you need to support more than one instance of pagination at a time, set the id and ensure it matches the id attribute of the PaginationControlsComponent / PaginationControlsDirective (see below).
• totalItems [number] The total number of items in the collection. Only useful when doing server-side paging, where the collection size is limited to a single page returned by the server API. For in-memory paging, this property should not be set, as it will be automatically set to the value of collection.length.

PaginationControlsComponent

This a default component for displaying pagination controls. It is implemented on top of the PaginationControlsDirective, and has a pre-set template and styles based on the Foundation 6 pagination component. If you require a more customised set of controls, you will need to use the PaginationControlsDirective and implement your own component.

<pagination-controls  id="some_id"
                      (pageChange)="pageChanged($event)"
                      maxSize="9"
                      directionLinks="true"
                      autoHide="true"
                      previousLabel="Previous"
                      nextLabel="Next"
                      screenReaderPaginationLabel="Pagination"
                      screenReaderPageLabel="page"
                      screenReaderCurrentLabel="You're on page">
</pagination-controls>

• id [string] If you need to support more than one instance of pagination at a time, set the id and ensure it matches the id set in the PaginatePipe config.
• pageChange [event handler] The expression specified will be invoked whenever the page changes via a click on one of the pagination controls. The $event argument will be the number of the new page. This should be used to update the value of the currentPage variable which was passed to the PaginatePipe.
• maxSize [number] Defines the maximum number of page links to display. Default is 7.
• directionLinks [boolean] If set to false, the "previous" and "next" links will not be displayed. Default is true.
• autoHide [boolean] If set to true, the pagination controls will not be displayed when all items in the collection fit onto the first page. Default is false.
• previousLabel [string] The label displayed on the "previous" link.
• nextLabel [string] The label displayed on the "next" link.
• screenReaderPaginationLabel [string] The word for "Pagination" used to label the controls for screen readers.
• screenReaderPageLabel [string] The word for "page" used in certain strings generated for screen readers, e.g. "Next page".
• screenReaderCurrentLabel [string] The phrase indicating the current page for screen readers, e.g. "You're on page ".

PaginationControlsDirective

The PaginationControlsDirective is used to build components for controlling your pagination instances. The directive selector is pagination-template, either as an element or an attribute. It exports an API named "paginationApi", which can then be used to build the controls component.

It has the following inputs and outputs:

@Input() id: string;
@Input() maxSize: number;
@Output() pageChange: EventEmitter<number>;

Here is an example of how it would be used to build a custom component:

<pagination-template #p="paginationApi"
                     (pageChange)="pageChange.emit($event)">

        <div class="pagination-previous" [class.disabled]="p.isFirstPage()">
            <a *ngIf="!p.isFirstPage()" (click)="p.previous()"> < </a>
        </div>

        <div *ngFor="let page of p.pages" [class.current]="p.getCurrent() === page.value">
            <a (click)="p.setCurrent(page.value)" *ngIf="p.getCurrent() !== page.value">
                <span>{{ page.label }}</span>
            </a>
            <div *ngIf="p.getCurrent() === page.value">
                <span>{{ page.label }}</span>
            </div>
        </div>

        <div class="pagination-next" [class.disabled]="p.isLastPage()">
            <a *ngIf="!p.isLastPage()" (click)="p.next()"> > </a>
        </div>
    
</pagination-template>

The key thing to note here is #p="paginationApi" - this provides a local variable, p (name it however you like), which can be used in the template to access the directive's API methods and properties, which are explained below:

• pages [{ label: string, value: any }[]] Array of page objects containing the page number and label.
• maxSize [number] Corresponds to the value of maxSize which is passed to the directive.
• getCurrent() [() => number] Returns the current page number.
• setCurrent(val) [(val: number) => void] Triggers the pageChange event with the page number passed as val.
• previous() [() => void] Sets current page to previous, triggering the pageChange event.
• next() [() => void] Sets current page to next, triggering the pageChange event.
• isFirstPage() [() => boolean] Returns true if the current page is the first page.
• isLastPage() [() => boolean] Returns true if the current page is the last page
• getLastPage() [() => number] Returns the page number of the last page.

For a real-world implementation of a custom component, take a look at the source for the PaginationControlsComponent.

Styling

The PaginationControlsComponent can be styled by simply overriding the default styles. To overcome Angular's view encapsulation, you may need to use the /deep/ operator to target it (depending on the type of encapsulation your component is using).

To avoid specificity issues, just add your own custom class name to the element, which will allow your styles to override the defaults:

// head
<style>
  .my-pagination /deep/ .ngx-pagination .current {
    background: red;
  }
</style>

// body
<pagination-controls class="my-pagination"><pagination-controls>

Server-Side Paging

In many cases - for example when working with very large data-sets - we do not want to work with the full collection in memory, and use some kind of server-side paging, where the server sends just a single page at a time.

This scenario is supported by ngx-pagination by using the totalItems config option.

Given a server response json object like this:

{
  "count": 14453,
  "data": [
    { /* item 1 */ },
    { /* item 2 */ },
    { /* item 3 */ },
    { /*   ...  */ },
    { /* item 10 */ }
  ]
}

we should pass the value of count to the PaginatePipe as the totalItems argument:

<li *ngFor="let item of collection | paginate: { itemsPerPage: 10, currentPage: p, totalItems: res.count }">...</li>

This will allow the correct number of page links to be calculated. To see a complete example of this (including using the async pipe), see the demo.

Multiple Instances

It is possible to have any number of pagination pipe/controls pairs in the same template. To do this, just make use of the "id" attribute:

<ul>
  <li *ngFor="let item of collection | paginate: { itemsPerPage: 10, currentPage: p1, id: 'first' }"> ... </li>
</ul>
<pagination-controls (pageChange)="p = $event" id="first"></pagination-controls>

<ul>
  <li *ngFor="let item of collection | paginate: { itemsPerPage: 10, currentPage: p2, id: 'second' }"> ... </li>
</ul>
<pagination-controls (pageChange)="p = $event" id="second"></pagination-controls>

You can even have dynamically-generated instances, e.g. within an ngFor block:

export class MyComponent {
  p: number[] = [];
}

<div *ngFor="let id of [1, 2]; let i = index;">
  <ul>
    <li *ngFor="let item of collection | paginate: { itemsPerPage: 10, currentPage: p[i], id: id }">{{ item }}</li>
   </ul>
   <pagination-controls (pageChange)="p[i] = $event" [id]="id"></pagination-controls>
</div>

Building from source

Requires globally-installed node (tested with v5.x) & npm.

npm install
npm run test
npm run build 

test runs the Karma tests once. You can also use test:watch to keep tests running in watch mode.

npm run build creates an intermediate /build folder, but the final output of the lib (which gets published to npm) is in the /dist folder.

Building the docs

cd docs
npm install
npm run docs:watch // dev mode
npm run docs:dist // production mode

When in dev mode, serve the /docs folder with an http server, and go to http://localhost:<port>/index-dev.html in your browser.
