Configurations

You have total control over your pagination component, you can configure every element’s appearence, number and behavior. Example: you can set items per single page, maximum pagination buttons to show and a click event handler.

<vue-awesome-paginate
  :total-items="50"
  :current-page="1"
  :items-per-page="5"
  :max-pages-shown="5"
  :on-click="onClickHandler"
/>

Show/Hide or Enable/Disable breakpoint buttons

Breakpoint buttons are clickable and shown by default, if you click on them you will get a jump of max-pages-shown / 2 in the pagination

You can Disable/Enable or Hide/Show them through attributes

<!-- Hide Breakpoint Buttons -->
<vue-awesome-paginate
  :total-items="50"
  :current-page="1"
  :items-per-page="5"
  :max-pages-shown="5"
  :on-click="onClickHandler"
  :show-breakpoint-buttons="false"
/>

<!--  Disable Breakpoint Buttons -->
<vue-awesome-paginate
  :total-items="50"
  :current-page="1"
  :items-per-page="5"
  :max-pages-shown="5"
  :on-click="onClickHandler"
  :disable-breakpoint-buttons="false"
/>

Hide Prev/Next buttons

You can hide prev/next buttons in two ways

<!--  Hide the Prev/Next buttons permanently -->
<vue-awesome-paginate
  :total-items="50"
  :current-page="1"
  :items-per-page="5"
  :max-pages-shown="5"
  :on-click="onClickHandler"
  :hide-prev-next="true"
/>

<!--  Hide the Prev button only when pagination is at the beginning or hide next button only when pagination reaches the end -->
<vue-awesome-paginate
  :total-items="50"
  :current-page="1"
  :items-per-page="5"
  :max-pages-shown="5"
  :on-click="onClickHandler"
  :hide-prev-next-when-ends="true"
/>

Result of above snippet:

Change buttons content

You can change the content inside the prev/next buttons in two ways: 1- Pass a string to prev-button-content or next-button-content attributes

<vue-awesome-paginate
  :total-items="50"
  :current-page="1"
  :items-per-page="5"
  :max-pages-shown="5"
  :on-click="onClickHandler"
  prev-button-content="<<<"
  next-button-content=">>>"
/>

Result of above snippet:

2- Inject your own HTML content into the buttons through custom slots

<vue-awesome-paginate
  :total-items="50"
  :current-page="1"
  :items-per-page="5"
  :max-pages-shown="5"
  :on-click="onClickHandler"
>
  <template #prev-button>
    <span>
      <img src="backward-arrow-icon.png" height="25" />
    </span>
  </template>
  <template #next-button>
    <span>
      <img src="forward-arrow-icon.png" height="25" />
    </span>
  </template>
</vue-awesome-paginate>

Result of above snippet:

This 2nd method of injecting html through custom slots in to elements is available for all the other controlling elements like breakpoint buttons and jump buttons etc… You can see all the slots in the slots table at API section

Show Jump Buttons

Jump Buttons are extra layers on top of Prev/Next buttons, if you enable them they will appear at each ends of the component, you can customize and configure them just like any other elements of the component and if you click on them it will have the same behavior as clicking on breakppoint buttons which is jumping by (max-pages-show/2)

<vue-awesome-paginate
  :total-items="50"
  :current-page="1"
  :items-per-page="5"
  :max-pages-shown="5"
  :show-breakpoint-buttons="false"
  :show-jump-buttons="true"
/>

Result of above snippet:

RTL and Locale Support

There are complete supports for RTL and different localizations without using any other 3rd package libraries

<vue-awesome-paginate
  :total-items="50"
  :current-page="1"
  :items-per-page="5"
  :max-pages-shown="5"
  dir="rtl"
  locale="ar"
/>

Result of above snippet:

Custom Styles

By default pagination buttons have the default html styles, you can customize every element of the component through the default class names that are set for each element, or you can set your class names for any element you want.

<template>
  <vue-awesome-paginate
    :total-items="50"
    :current-page="1"
    :items-per-page="5"
    :max-pages-shown="5"
    paginate-buttons-class="btn"
    active-page-class="btn-active"
    back-button-class="back-btn"
    next-button-class="next-btn"
  />
</template>
<style>
  .btn {
    height: 40px;
    width: 40px;
    border: none;
    margin-inline: 5px;
    cursor: pointer;
  }
  .back-btn {
    background-color: red;
  }
  .next-btn {
    background-color: red;
  }
  .btn-active {
    background-color: blue;
    color: white;
  }
</style>

Result of above snippet:

You don’t necessarily need to set class names for the elements if you don’t want to, you can just use their default class names that are available in the class names table in the API section.        

API

Component Attributes

Note that all the attributes in the table below can be written in both camel case and kebab case styles.
