I am currently limiting my ng-repeat to 5 using a filter, but I'm wondering how I can paginate the data.
<div ng-repeat="job in jobs | limitTo:5">
I have a variable number of items that I am ng-repeating through, and I would like the user to be able to view these items in reasonable chunks -- five at a time, with next/previous buttons or page numbers to skip through. Is there an angular directive well-suited for this task? Would it be simpler to handle sending manageable chunks of data from the backend with a mongoose query?
Yes, there's a nice directive for AngularJS
called dirPagination
. You can paginate tables
and almost everything that you need.
Look at it on Github and if you want to see a demo, Plunker.
After you downloaded the Javascript
and template Html
files, you need to do some basic steps:
In your Javascript
file, put:
$scope.currentPage = 1;
// The page that should start the pagination.
$scope.pageSize = 5;
// The limit of items per page.
Change your div:
<div ng-repeat="job in jobs | limitTo:5">
to <div dir-paginate="job in jobs | filter:q | itemsPerPage: pageSize" current-page="currentPage"></div>
Add the pagination controls in your html file (Be sure to set the correct url for the template).
<dir-pagination-controls boundary-links="true" on-page-change="pageChangeHandler(newPageNumber)" template-url="dirPagination.tpl.html"></dir-pagination-controls>
UPDATE
I made a plnkr to demonstrate how it would look in your case. Please, take a look.
How about Angular
way of doing pagination
?
You can just use the built in - lightweight Angular/Bootstrap pagination
.
In your Javascript
file:
angular.module('ui.bootstrap.demo').controller('PaginationDemoCtrl', function ($scope, $log) {
$scope.totalItems = 64;
$scope.currentPage = 4;
$scope.setPage = function (pageNo) {
$scope.currentPage = pageNo;
};
$scope.pageChanged = function() {
$log.log('Page changed to: ' + $scope.currentPage);
};
$scope.maxSize = 5;
$scope.bigTotalItems = 175;
$scope.bigCurrentPage = 1;
});
In your view:
<div ng-controller="PaginationDemoCtrl">
<h4>Default</h4>
<uib-pagination total-items="totalItems" ng-model="currentPage" ng-change="pageChanged()"></uib-pagination>
<uib-pagination boundary-links="true" total-items="totalItems" ng-model="currentPage" class="pagination-sm" previous-text="‹" next-text="›" first-text="«" last-text="»"></uib-pagination>
<uib-pagination direction-links="false" boundary-links="true" total-items="totalItems" ng-model="currentPage"></uib-pagination>
<uib-pagination direction-links="false" total-items="totalItems" ng-model="currentPage" num-pages="smallnumPages"></uib-pagination>
<pre>The selected page no: {{currentPage}}</pre>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-info" ng-click="setPage(3)">Set current page to: 3</button>
<hr />
<h4>Limit the maximum visible buttons</h4>
