How to do paging in AngularJS?

Question

I have a dataset of about 1000 items in-memory and am attempting to create a pager for this dataset, but I\'m not sure on how to do this.

I\'m using a custom filter

Answer 1

Since Angular 1.4, the limitTo filter also accepts a second optional argument begin

From the docs:

{{ limitTo_expression | limitTo : limit : begin}}

begin (optional) string|number
Index at which to begin limitation. As a negative index, begin indicates an offset from the end of input. Defaults to 0.

So you don't need to create a new directive, This argument can be used to set the offset of the pagination

ng-repeat="item in vm.items| limitTo: vm.itemsPerPage: (vm.currentPage-1)*vm.itemsPerPage" 

Answer 2

You can easily do this using Bootstrap UI directive.

This answer is a modification of the answer given by @Scotty.NET, I have changed the code because <pagination> directive is deprecated now.

Following code generates the pagination:

<ul uib-pagination 
    boundary-links="true"  
    total-items="totalItems"  
    items-per-page="itemsPerPage"  
    ng-model="currentPage"  
    ng-change="pageChanged()"  
    class="pagination"  
    previous-text="&lsaquo;"  
    next-text="&rsaquo;"  
    first-text="&laquo;"  
    last-text="&raquo;">
</ul>

To make it functional, use this in your controller:

$scope.filteredData = []
$scope.totalItems = $scope.data.length;
$scope.currentPage = 1;
$scope.itemsPerPage = 5;

$scope.setPage = function (pageNo) {
    $scope.currentPage = pageNo;
};

$scope.pageChanged = function() {
    var begin = (($scope.currentPage - 1) * $scope.itemsPerPage)
    , end = begin + $scope.itemsPerPage;

    $scope.filteredData = $scope.data.slice(begin, end);
};

$scope.pageChanged();

Angular UI Bootstrap - Pagination Directive

Check out UI Bootstrap's pagination directive. I ended up using it rather than what is posted here as it has enough features for my current use and has a thorough test spec to accompany it.

View

<!-- table here -->

<pagination 
  ng-model="currentPage"
  total-items="todos.length"
  max-size="maxSize"  
  boundary-links="true">
</pagination>

<!-- items/page select here if you like -->

Controller

todos.controller("TodoController", function($scope) {
   $scope.filteredTodos = []
  ,$scope.currentPage = 1
  ,$scope.numPerPage = 10
  ,$scope.maxSize = 5;

  $scope.makeTodos = function() {
    $scope.todos = [];
    for (i=1;i<=1000;i++) {
      $scope.todos.push({ text:"todo "+i, done:false});
    }
  };
  $scope.makeTodos(); 

  $scope.$watch("currentPage + numPerPage", function() {
    var begin = (($scope.currentPage - 1) * $scope.numPerPage)
    , end = begin + $scope.numPerPage;

    $scope.filteredTodos = $scope.todos.slice(begin, end);
  });
});

Legacy Version:

View

<!-- table here -->

<div data-pagination="" data-num-pages="numPages()" 
  data-current-page="currentPage" data-max-size="maxSize"  
  data-boundary-links="true"></div>

<!-- items/page select here if you like -->

Controller

todos.controller("TodoController", function($scope) {
   $scope.filteredTodos = []
  ,$scope.currentPage = 1
  ,$scope.numPerPage = 10
  ,$scope.maxSize = 5;

  $scope.makeTodos = function() {
    $scope.todos = [];
    for (i=1;i<=1000;i++) {
      $scope.todos.push({ text:"todo "+i, done:false});
    }
  };
  $scope.makeTodos(); 

  $scope.numPages = function () {
    return Math.ceil($scope.todos.length / $scope.numPerPage);
  };

  $scope.$watch("currentPage + numPerPage", function() {
    var begin = (($scope.currentPage - 1) * $scope.numPerPage)
    , end = begin + $scope.numPerPage;

    $scope.filteredTodos = $scope.todos.slice(begin, end);
  });
});

Answer 4

Old question but since I think my approach is a bit different and less complex I will share this and hope that someone besides me find it useful.

What I found to be an easy and small solution to pagination is to combine a directive with a filter which uses the same scope variables.

To implement this you add the filter on the array and add the directiv like this

<div class="row">
    <table class="table table-hover">
        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th>Name</th>
                <th>Price</th>
                <th>Quantity</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            <tr ng-repeat="item in items | cust_pagination:p_Size:p_Step">
                <td>{{item.Name}}</td>
                <td>{{item.Price}}</td>
                <td>{{item.Quantity}}</td>
            </tr>
        </tbody>
    </table>
    <div cust-pagination p-items="items" p-boundarylinks="true" p-size="p_Size" p-step="p_Step"></div>
</div>

p_Size and p_Step are scope variables which can be customized in the scope else the default value of the p_Size is 5 and p_Step is 1.

When a step is change in the pagination the p_Step is updated and will trigger a new filtering by cust_pagination filter. The cust_pagination filter then slices the array depending on the p_Step value like below and only return the active records selected in the pagination section

var startIndex = nStep * nPageSize;
var endIndex = startIndex + nPageSize;
var arr = items.slice(startIndex, endIndex);
return arr;

I would like to add my solution that works with ngRepeat and filters that you use with it without using a $watch or a sliced array.

Your filter results will be paginated!

var app = angular.module('app', ['ui.bootstrap']);

app.controller('myController', ['$scope', function($scope){
    $scope.list= ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'];

    $scope.pagination = {
        currentPage: 1,
        numPerPage: 5,
        totalItems: 0
    };

    $scope.searchFilter = function(item) {
        //Your filter results will be paginated!
        //The pagination will work even with other filters involved
        //The total number of items in the result of your filter is accounted for
    };

    $scope.paginationFilter = function(item, index) {
        //Every time the filter is used it restarts the totalItems
        if(index === 0) 
            $scope.pagination.totalItems = 0;

        //This holds the totalItems after the filters are applied
        $scope.pagination.totalItems++;

        if(
            index >= (($scope.pagination.currentPage - 1) * $scope.pagination.numPerPage)
            && index < ((($scope.pagination.currentPage - 1) * $scope.pagination.numPerPage) + $scope.pagination.numPerPage)
        )
            return true; //return true if item index is on the currentPage

        return false;
    };
}]);

In the HTML make sure that you apply your filters to the ngRepeat before the pagination filter.

<table data-ng-controller="myController">
    <tr data-ng-repeat="item in list | filter: searchFilter | filter: paginationFilter track by $index">
        <td>
            {{item}}
        </td>
    <tr>
</table>
<ul class="pagination-sm"
    uib-pagination
    data-boundary-links="true"
    data-total-items="pagination.totalItems"
    data-items-per-page="pagination.numPerPage"
    data-ng-model="pagination.currentPage"
    data-previous-text="&lsaquo;"
    data-next-text="&rsaquo;"
    data-first-text="&laquo;"
    data-last-text="&raquo;">
 </ul>

Answer 6

For anyone who find it difficult like me to create a paginator for a table I post this. So, in your view :

          <pagination total-items="total" items-per-page="itemPerPage"    ng-model="currentPage" ng-change="pageChanged()"></pagination>    
        <!-- To specify your choice of items Per Pages-->
     <div class="btn-group">
                <label class="btn btn-primary" ng-model="radioModel"  btn-radio="'Left'" data-ng-click="setItems(5)">5</label>
                <label class="btn btn-primary" ng-model="radioModel" btn-radio="'Middle'" data-ng-click="setItems(10)">10</label>
                <label class="btn btn-primary" ng-model="radioModel" btn-radio="'Right'" data-ng-click="setItems(15)">15</label>
            </div>
     //And don't forget in your table:
      <tr data-ng-repeat="p in profiles | offset: (currentPage-1)*itemPerPage | limitTo: itemPerPage" >

In your angularJs:

  var module = angular.module('myapp',['ui.bootstrap','dialogs']);
  module.controller('myController',function($scope,$http){
   $scope.total = $scope.mylist.length;     
   $scope.currentPage = 1;
   $scope.itemPerPage = 2;
   $scope.start = 0;

   $scope.setItems = function(n){
         $scope.itemPerPage = n;
   };
   // In case you can replace ($scope.currentPage - 1) * $scope.itemPerPage in <tr> by "start"
   $scope.pageChanged = function() {
        $scope.start = ($scope.currentPage - 1) * $scope.itemPerPage;
            };  
});
   //and our filter
     module.filter('offset', function() {
              return function(input, start) {
                start = parseInt(start, 10);
                return input.slice(start);
              };
            });
