In this article, we will walk you through the process of using the Vue pagination component tailored for Bootstrap and Laravel. This entity boasts robust performance while managing pagination in your Vue applications. So, let’s dive in!

What You Need Before Getting Started

• Vue.js: The component has been tested with Vue.js version 2.2.1.
• Bootstrap CSS: The component is compatible with Bootstrap version 3.3.7.
• Pagination Object: Laravel isn’t a prerequisite; your pagination object must include current_page, last_page, and per_page attributes.

Installation Steps

To install the Vue pagination component, you have two options: using npm or Yarn. Choose one of the following commands:

npm install --save vue-bootstrap-pagination

yarn add vue-bootstrap-pagination

Example Implementation

Let’s see a straightforward example for how to implement this pagination component in your Vue application. Think of it as setting up a library where you want to manage the book sections efficiently. Here, each section represents a group of items, and the pagination component helps in navigating through these sections smoothly.

In this library analogy:

• The books represent items in your application.
• The sections represent pages in your pagination.
• The librarian is the callback function that fetches the right books for you when you request a specific section.

Here is how you can code this setup:

import pagination from 'vue-bootstrap-pagination';

new Vue({
    el: '#app',
    data() {
        return {
            items: [],
            pagination: {
                total: 0,
                per_page: 12,
                current_page: 1,
                last_page: 0,
                from: 1,
                to: 12
            },
            paginationOptions: {
                offset: 4,
                previousText: 'Prev',
                nextText: 'Next',
                alwaysShowPrevNext: true
            }
        };
    },
    methods: {
        loadData() {
            const options = {
                params: {
                    paginate: this.pagination.per_page,
                    page: this.pagination.current_page,
                    // additional parameters
                }
            };
            this.$http.get('getData', options)
                .then(response => {
                    this.items = response.data.data;
                    this.pagination = response.data.pagination; // API response edited to have pagination data under pagination object
                })
                .catch(error => {
                    // handle error
                });
        },
    },
    components: {
        pagination
    }
});

Props and Options

When you set up the pagination component, it comes with various props and options that allow you to customize your library:

• pagination: The central object containing current pagination state (required).
• callback: The function used to load items for the selected page (required).
• options: Configuration options such as button text and visibility settings.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter issues while implementing the Vue pagination component, consider the following troubleshooting strategies:

• Ensure that you are using the correct versions of Vue.js and Bootstrap.
• Check that your pagination object has all the necessary attributes specified.
• If the pagination doesn’t show up, verify that you’ve included the pagination component correctly and bound it to your Vue instance.
