Introduction to Pagination in JavaScript
JavaScript Pagination concept is applied for moving among the pages with First, Next, Previous and Last buttons or links. Pagination’s main motto is to move among the content immediately by clicking links or buttons. Pagination has multiple links or buttons provided for access First, Next, Previous and Last content. Create First, Next, Previous and Last buttons in JavaScript we have used different JavaScript functions.
What is a Bootstrap Pager?
Pagination concept, used for accessing the content by using First, Next, Previous and Last or more links or buttons based on client requirement to smoothly accessing of content.
Why we use JavaScript Pagination?
Real-Time Scenario: Let’s take the amazon website or Flipkart website for displaying available products in their database. Let suppose they have 1 million products with them. If they are trying to show all the items at a time, the customer must wait more time like one day to see all the product lists.
How Should we Tackle this Situation?
Instead of showing all the items at a time, we can show them 50 to 100 items at a time by using a list of link buttons. If the customer is not satisfied with the first 50 to 100 products, then he will move to the next 50 to 100 items so on. This concept is called Pagination.
The syntax for Pagination:
//function for creating page list
function prepareList() {
for (count = 0; count < 100; count++)
//add iteration elements to an array
createPages= getPageNumber();//user defined function
}
//function per creating pages
function preparePages() {
var start= ((presentPage - 1) * countPerEachPage);
var end = start+ countPerEachPage;
listPage= list.slice(start, end);
//call some user defined methods to pagination functionality
}Examples of Pagination in Javascript
Here are the following examples mention below
Example #1 – Pagination with numbers
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="ISO-8859-1">
<title>Pagination</title>
<!-- default pagination styles including -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="path_to/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="path_to/jquery.simplePagination.js"></script>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="path_to/simplePagination.css"/>
<!-- CSS styles -->
<style type="text/css">
body
{
font-size: 30px;
background: brown;
}
h2
{
color: lime;
}
h3
{
color: olive;
}
</style>
<!-- JavaScript logic -->
<script type="text/javascript">
//creating an array for adding numbers in a page
var countList = new Array();
//creating an array for adding number of pagess
var addPageList = new Array();
var presentPage = 1;
var countPerEachPage = 10;
var countOfPages = 0;
//function for adding how many numbers in total
function prepareList() {
for (count = 0;counti< 100; count++)
countList.push(count);
countOfPages = getCountOfPages();
}
//function for creating how many how many number per each page
function getCountOfPages() {
return Math.ceil(countList.length / countPerEachPage);
}
//function for moving to next page
function getNextPage() {
presentPage += 1;
loadMyPaginationList();
}
//function for moving previous page
function getPreviousPage() {
presentPage -= 1;
loadMyPaginationList();
}
//function for moving to first page
function getFirstPage() {
presentPage = 1;
loadMyPaginationList();
}
//function for moving last page
function getLastPage() {
presentPage = countOfPages;
loadMyPaginationList();
}
//function for creating how to move between the pages
function loadMyPaginationList() {
var start = ((presentPage - 1) * countPerEachPage);
var end = start + countPerEachPage;
addPageList = countList.slice(start, end);
createPageList();
validatePageCount();
}
//function for adding numbers to each page
function createPageList() {
document.getElementById("countList").innerHTML = "";
for (p = 0; p< addPageList.length; p++) {
document.getElementById("countList").innerHTML = document.getElementById("countList").innerHTML+ addPageList[p] + "<br/>";
}
}
//function for validating real time condition like if move to last page, last page disabled etc
function validatePageCount() {
document.getElementById("next").disabled = presentPage == countOfPages ? true : false;
document.getElementById("previous").disabled = presentPage == 1 ? true : false;
document.getElementById("first").disabled = presentPage == 1 ? true : false;
document.getElementById("last").disabled = presentPage == countOfPages ? true : false;
}
//function for loading pagination functionality
function loadMyPagination() {
prepareList();
loadMyPaginationList();
}
window.onload = loadMyPagination;
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div style="text-align:center;">
<input type="button" id="first" onclick="getFirstPage()" value="first" />
<input type="button" id="next" onclick="getNextPage()" value="next" />
<input type="button" id="previous" onclick="getPreviousPage()" value="previous" />
<input type="button" id="last" onclick="getLastPage()" value="last" />
