Awesome
The MvcPaging library contains an ASP.NET MVC HTML helper that renders a pager based on given parameters. A live demo can be found at http://demo.taiga.nl/mvcpaging.
Important information for ASP.NET Core users
This library doesn't support ASP.NET Core. Visit https://github.com/joeaudette/cloudscribe.Web.Pagination for the logical successor of this library. Thanks Joe for the effort!
Usage (Razor / pseudo code):
@Html.Pager(pageSize, pageNumber, totalItemCount)
Options are added via the Options method:
@Html.Pager(pageSize, pageNumber, totalItemCount).Options(o => o
.Action("action")
.AddRouteValue("q", mySearchQuery)
)
Possible options:
Action(string action)
Sets an alternative action for the pager that is different from the current action
Action(string action, string controller)
Sets an alternative action and controller for the pager that is different from the current
AddRouteValue(string name, object value)
Adds a single route value parameter that is added to page url's
AddRouteValueFor<TProperty>(Expression<Func<TModel, TProperty>> expression)
Adds a strongly typed route value parameter based on the current model
(e.g. AddRouteValueFor(m => m.SearchQuery))
RouteValues(object routeValues)
Adds route value parameters that are added to the page url's
RouteValues(RouteValueDictionary routeValues)
Adds route value parameters that are added to the page url's
DisplayTemplate(string displayTemplate)
When set, the internal HTML rendering is bypassed and a DisplayTemplate view with the given
name is rendered instead. Note that the DisplayTemplate must have a model of type PaginationModel.
Instead of a template name, it's also possible to specify a complete template path, starting with ~/
MaxNrOfPages(int maxNrOfPages)
Sets the maximum number of pages to show
AlwaysAddFirstPageNumber
By default we don't add the page number for page 1 because it results in canonical links.
Use this option to override this behaviour.
PageRouteValueKey
Set the page routeValue key for pagination links
DisplayFirstAndLastPage
Displays first and last navigation pages
DisplayFirstPage
Displays the first navigation page
DisplayLastPage
Displays the last navigation page
SetFirstPageText
Set a custom text for the first page
SetFirstPageTitle
Set a custom text for title attribute of the first page link
SetLastPageText
Set a custom text for the last page
SetLastPageTitle
Set a custom text for title attribute of the last page link
SetPreviousPageText
Set a custom text for the previous page
SetPreviousPageTitle
Set a custom text for title attribute of the previous page link
SetNextPageText
Set a custom text for the next page
SetNextPageTitle
Set a custom text for title attribute of the next page link
UseItemCountAsPageCount
The totalItemCount parameter is (ab)used for the total number of pages
instead of the total number of items to facilitate backends that return the total number
of pages instead of the total number of items
HidePreviousAndNextPage
Don't show the 'previous' and 'next' links and only show the page numbers
CustomRouteName
Indicate that a specific named route must be used when generating page links
HideFirstPageNumber
Don't show page number 1 and '...' when navigating away
HideLastPageNumber
Don't show the number of the last page and '...' when the last page is more than
MaxNumberOfPages
PagedList
The library contains a PagedList class that makes it easy to work with paged data. Use it via an extension method on IEnumerable<> or IList<>:
myList.ToPagedList(pageIndex, pageSize)
with any unpaged list or
myList.ToPagedList(pageIndex, pageSize, totalItemCount)
when the list already only contains the data for the page
