How to create pagination in WeWeb?

Step 1: Create a Collection

First things first, let's create a collection for the data you want to paginate. This could be anything—comments, products, blog posts, you name it. Just make sure all the items you want to paginate are included in this collection.

Step 2: Add a Collection List

Next up, in the WeWeb editor, add a collection list element to your page. This is where your paginated items will show up.

Step 3: Bind Collection to List

Now, bind the collection you just created to the collection list element. This step ensures that the data from your collection will display in the list component.

Step 4: Setup Pagination Controls

Time to add some pagination controls to your page. These could be buttons or links for "Next" and "Previous" or even specific page numbers, depending on how you want it to look.

Step 5: Configure Pagination Logic

Let's get into the nitty-gritty. Configure the logic behind the pagination controls. Set up event listeners that change the displayed collection items based on the current page. This usually involves:

  • Figuring out the total number of pages.
  • Setting a limit on the number of items displayed per page.
  • Implementing the logic for "Next" and "Previous" buttons to change pages correctly.

Step 6: Apply Filters to Collection List

Add filters to the collection list to only show the items for the current page. These filters will usually be based on the page number and items per page.

Step 7: Test Pagination

Preview your page to make sure the pagination works correctly. Check that clicking "Next" and "Previous" changes the displayed items and that all items are accessible.

Step 8: Style Pagination Controls

Style the pagination controls to match the look and feel of your website. Adjust the design and placement as needed to ensure a great user experience.

Step 9: Publish Your Page

Once you're happy with the pagination setup and styling, publish your page so it goes live. Make sure to test the live version to double-check everything works as expected.
