Pagination is a widely used technique for dividing a large set of data into smaller and more manageable chunks, making it easier for users to navigate and view the information they need. It's a common feature on websites, especially e-commerce sites, where products are displayed in a grid format and users can navigate through multiple pages to view more items. In this blog post, we will explore the basics of pagination, why it's important, and how to implement it in your web application using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
To implement pagination in your web application, you will need to use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. In the example code below, we will create a simple pagination system with five pages. The active page will be highlighted in blue, and users can navigate to the next or previous page using the arrow icons.
In the CSS, we use flexbox to center the pagination links and add a blue background to the active page. We also use Font Awesome icons for the left and right arrows. In the JavaScript, we first get a reference to all the pagination links and set the current index to the active page. Then, we use a forEach loop to add a click event listener to each link, so that when a user clicks on a link, it becomes the active page.
Finally, we add click event listeners to the left and right arrows to navigate to the previous or next page. When a user clicks on an arrow, the active class is removed from the current page and added to the new page.
