Pagination

Pagination is an interface that allows navigating between pages that contain split information, instead of being shown on a single page.

Properties

Features

  • Full keyboard navigation.
  • Optimized for screen readers.

Installation

To use the pagination machine in your project, run the following command in your command line:

npm install @zag-js/pagination @zag-js/react # or yarn add @zag-js/pagination @zag-js/react

This command will install the framework agnostic pagination logic and the reactive utilities for your framework of choice.

Anatomy

To set up the pagination correctly, you'll need to understand its anatomy and how we name its parts.

Each part includes a data-part attribute to help identify them in the DOM.

On a high level, the pagination consists of:

  • Root: The root container for the pagination
  • Item: Each pagination item
  • Ellipsis: Ellipsis shown when some items are hidden
  • Previous Trigger: Used to go to previous page in pagination
  • Next Trigger: Used to go to next page in pagination

Usage

First, import the pagination package into your project

import * as pagination from "@zag-js/pagination"

The pagination package exports two key functions:

  • machine — The state machine logic for the pagination widget.
  • connect — The function that translates the machine's state to JSX attributes and event handlers.

You'll also need to provide a unique id to the useMachine hook. This is used to ensure that every part has a unique identifier.

import * as pagination from "@zag-js/pagination" import { useMachine, normalizeProps } from "@zag-js/react" import { data } from "./data" function Pagination() { const [state, send] = useMachine( pagination.machine({ id: "1", count: data.length }), ) const api = pagination.connect(state, send, normalizeProps) return ( <div> {api.totalPages > 1 && ( <nav {...api.rootProps}> <ul> <li> <a href="#previous" {...api.prevTriggerProps}> Previous <span className="visually-hidden">Page</span> </a> </li> {api.pages.map((page, i) => { if (page.type === "page") return ( <li key={page.value}> <a href={`#${page.value}`} {...api.getItemProps(page)}> {page.value} </a> </li> ) else return ( <li key={`ellipsis-${i}`}> <span {...api.getEllipsisProps({ index: i })}>&#8230;</span> </li> ) })} <li> <a href="#next" {...api.nextTriggerProps}> Next <span className="visually-hidden">Page</span> </a> </li> </ul> </nav> )} </div> ) }
const api = connect(state, send) // You can slice the data, to get data for current page const currentPageData = data.slice(api.pageRange.start, api.pageRange.end) api.page // => 1 api.isFirstPage() // => true api.setPage(3) // page => 3 api.previousPage // => 2 api.nextPage // => 4 api.pages /* [ { "type": "page", "value": 1, }, { "type": "page", "value": 2, }, { "type": "ellipsis", }, { "type": "page", "value": 3, }, { "type": "page", "value": 4, }, ] */ api.pageRange // => { start: 4, end: 13 }

Styling guide

Earlier, we mentioned that each pagination part has a data-part attribute added to them to select and style them in the DOM.

[data-part="root"] { /* styles for the pagination's root */ } [data-part="item"] { /* styles for the pagination's items */ } [data-part="ellipsis"] { /* styles for the pagination's ellipsis */ } [data-part="prev-trigger"] { /* styles for the pagination's previous page trigger */ } [data-part="next-trigger"] { /* styles for the pagination's next page trigger */ } /* We add a data-disabled attribute to the prev/next items when on the first/last page */ [data-part="prev-trigger"][data-disabled] { /* styles for the pagination's previous page trigger when on first page */ } [data-part="next-trigger"][data-disabled] { /* styles for the pagination's next page trigger when on first page */ }

Methods and Properties

The pagination's api exposes the following methods and properties:

  • pagenumberThe current page.
  • totalPagesnumberThe total number of pages.
  • pagesPagesThe page range. Represented as an array of page numbers (including ellipsis)
  • previousPagenumberThe previous page.
  • nextPagenumberThe next page.
  • pageRangePageRangeThe page range. Represented as an object with `start` and `end` properties.
  • slice<V>(data: V[]) => V[]Function to slice an array of data based on the current page.
  • isFirstPagebooleanWhether the current page is the first page.
  • isLastPagebooleanWhether the current page is the last page.
  • setCount(count: number) => voidFunction to set the total number of pages.
  • setPageSize(size: number) => voidFunction to set the page size.
  • setPage(page: number) => voidFunction to set the current page.
