MarkupPagerNav class

Module for generating pagination markup automatically for paginated WireArray types.

// Get an instance of MarkupPagerNav
$pager = $modules->get('MarkupPagerNav'); 

This module can create pagination for a PageArray or any other kind of PaginatedArray type.Below is an example of creating pagination for a PageArray returned from $pages->find().

// $items can be PageArray or any other kind of PaginatedArray type
$items = $pages->find("id>0, limit=10"); // replace id>0 with your selector
if($items->count()) {
  $pager = $modules->get("MarkupPagerNav");
  echo "<ul>" . $items->each("<li>{title}</li>") . "</ul>";
  echo $pager->render($items); // render the pagination navigation
} else {
  echo "<p>Sorry there were no items found</p>";
}

Here’s a shortcut alternative that you can use for PageArray types (thanks to the MarkupPageArray module). Note that in this case, it’s not necessary to load the MarkupPagerNav module yourself:

$items = $pages->find("id>0, limit=10"); // replace id>0 with your selector
if($items->count()) {
  echo "<ul>" . $items->each("<li>{title}</li>") . "</ul>";
  echo $items->renderPager(); // render the pagination navigation
} else {
  echo "<p>Sorry there were no items found</p>";
}

It’s common to specify different markup and/or classes specific to the need when rendering pagination. This is done by providing an $options array to the MarkupPagerNav::render() call. In the example below, we'll specify Uikit markup rather then the default markup:

// Change options for Uikit "uk-pagination" navigation
$options = array(
  'numPageLinks' => 5,
  'listClass' => 'uk-pagination',
  'linkMarkup' => "<a href='{url}'>{out}</a>",
  'currentItemClass' => 'uk-active',
  'separatorItemLabel' => '<span>&hellip;</span>',
  'separatorItemClass' => 'uk-disabled',
  'currentLinkMarkup' => "<span>{out}</span>"
  'nextItemLabel' => '<i class="uk-icon-angle-double-right"></i>',
  'previousItemLabel' => '<i class="uk-icon-angle-double-left"></i>',
  'nextItemClass' => '', // blank out classes irrelevant to Uikit
  'previousItemClass' => '',
  'lastItemClass' => '',
);

$items = $pages->find("id>0, limit=10"); // replace id>0 with your selector

if($items->count()) {
  $pager = $modules->get('MarkupPagerNav');
  echo "<ul>" . $items->each("<li>{title}</li>") . "</ul>";
  echo $pager->render($items, $options); // provide the $options array
} else {
  echo "<p>Sorry there were no items found</p>";
}

The full list of options can be seen below. Please note that most options are set automatically since this module can determine most of the needed information directly from the WireArray that it’s given. As a result, it’s often not necessary to change any of the default options unless you want to change the markup and/or classes used in output.
