The jQuery Paging plugin aims to be simple as possible by a native callback design, which in turn allows to design a pagination navigation in almost every feasible variation.
Include the jquery.paging.min.js in your website and start working. There are no styles shipped with the library, it all depends on your needs and the library only does the link calculations and event management for you, plus a few extra things.
In order to use the Paging plugin, you're done by defining the following simple snippet:
$(".pagination").paging(1337, { // make 1337 elements navigatable
format: '[< ncnnn! >]', // define how the navigation should look like and in which order onFormat() get's called
perpage: 10, // show 10 elements per page
lapping: 0, // don't overlap pages for the moment
page: 1, // start at page, can also be "null" or negative
onSelect: function (page) {
// add code which gets executed when user selects a page, how about $.ajax() or $(...).slice()?
console.log(this);
},
onFormat: function (type) {
switch (type) {
case 'block': // n and c
return '<a href="#">' + this.value + '</a>';
case 'next': // >
return '<a href="#">></a>';
case 'prev': // <
return '<a href="#"><</a>';
case 'first': // [
return '<a href="#">first</a>';
case 'last': // ]
return '<a href="#">last</a>';
}
}
});
The strength of the library is that every parameter you would need is pre calculated and accessable via the "this"-object inside the callbacks.
The library is aggressively size optimized and works best with Closure-Compiler Advanced mode.
function onSelectCB(page) {
$.ajax({
"url": '/data.php?start=' + this.slice[0] + '&end=' + this.slice[1] + '&page=' + page,
"success": function(data) {
// content replace
}
});
}
function onSelectCB(page) {
var data = this.slice;
content.slice(prev[0], prev[1]).css('display', 'none');
content.slice(data[0], data[1]).css('display', 'block');
prev = data;
}
$(".pagination").paging(1337, {
format: '[< ncnnn! >]',
perpage: 10,
page: getCookie("current") || 1,
onSelect: function (page) {
setCookie("current", page)
console.log(this);
},
onFormat: onFormatCB
});
