how to implement Pagination in reactJs

I've implemented pagination in pure React JS recently. Here is a working demo: http://codepen.io/PiotrBerebecki/pen/pEYPbY

You would of course have to adjust the logic and the way page numbers are displayed so that it meets your requirements.

Full code:

class TodoApp extends React.Component {
  constructor() {
    super();
    this.state = {
      todos: ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k'],
      currentPage: 1,
      todosPerPage: 3
    };
    this.handleClick = this.handleClick.bind(this);
  }

  handleClick(event) {
    this.setState({
      currentPage: Number(event.target.id)
    });
  }

  render() {
    const { todos, currentPage, todosPerPage } = this.state;

    // Logic for displaying todos
    const indexOfLastTodo = currentPage * todosPerPage;
    const indexOfFirstTodo = indexOfLastTodo - todosPerPage;
    const currentTodos = todos.slice(indexOfFirstTodo, indexOfLastTodo);

    const renderTodos = currentTodos.map((todo, index) => {
      return <li key={index}>{todo}</li>;
    });

    // Logic for displaying page numbers
    const pageNumbers = [];
    for (let i = 1; i <= Math.ceil(todos.length / todosPerPage); i++) {
      pageNumbers.push(i);
    }

    const renderPageNumbers = pageNumbers.map(number => {
      return (
        <li
          key={number}
          id={number}
          onClick={this.handleClick}
        >
          {number}
        </li>
      );
    });

    return (
      <div>
        <ul>
          {renderTodos}
        </ul>
        <ul id="page-numbers">
          {renderPageNumbers}
        </ul>
      </div>
    );
  }
}


ReactDOM.render(
  <TodoApp />,
  document.getElementById('app')
);

I have tried to recreate the simple pagination example given by piotr-berebecki which was great. But when there will be a lot of pages then the pagination will overflow in the screen. So, I used previous and back button along with forward and backward button to stream back and forth between the pages. And for design part I have used bootstrap 3.

You can customize no of pages to display in pagination using the pagebound values. Make sure to use same value for upperPageBound and pageBound.

    class TodoApp extends React.Component {
          constructor() {
            super();
            this.state = {
              todos: ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m',
'n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z'],
              currentPage: 1,
              todosPerPage: 3,
              upperPageBound: 3,
              lowerPageBound: 0,
              isPrevBtnActive: 'disabled',
              isNextBtnActive: '',
              pageBound: 3
            };
            this.handleClick = this.handleClick.bind(this);
            this.btnDecrementClick = this.btnDecrementClick.bind(this);
            this.btnIncrementClick = this.btnIncrementClick.bind(this);
            this.btnNextClick = this.btnNextClick.bind(this);
            this.btnPrevClick = this.btnPrevClick.bind(this);
            // this.componentDidMount = this.componentDidMount.bind(this);
            this.setPrevAndNextBtnClass = this.setPrevAndNextBtnClass.bind(this);
          }
          componentDidUpdate() {
                $("ul li.active").removeClass('active');
                $('ul li#'+this.state.currentPage).addClass('active');
          }
          handleClick(event) {
            let listid = Number(event.target.id);
            this.setState({
              currentPage: listid
            });
            $("ul li.active").removeClass('active');
            $('ul li#'+listid).addClass('active');
            this.setPrevAndNextBtnClass(listid);
          }
          setPrevAndNextBtnClass(listid) {
            let totalPage = Math.ceil(this.state.todos.length / this.state.todosPerPage);
            this.setState({isNextBtnActive: 'disabled'});
            this.setState({isPrevBtnActive: 'disabled'});
            if(totalPage === listid && totalPage > 1){
                this.setState({isPrevBtnActive: ''});
            }
            else if(listid === 1 && totalPage > 1){
                this.setState({isNextBtnActive: ''});
            }

                this.setState({isPrevBtnActive: ''});
            }
        }
          btnIncrementClick() {
              this.setState({upperPageBound: this.state.upperPageBound + this.state.pageBound});
              this.setState({lowerPageBound: this.state.lowerPageBound + this.state.pageBound});
              let listid = this.state.upperPageBound + 1;
              this.setState({ currentPage: listid});
              this.setPrevAndNextBtnClass(listid);

          btnDecrementClick() {

Image : simple react pagination


I recently created this Pagination component that implements paging logic like Google's search results:

import React, { PropTypes } from 'react';
 
const propTypes = {
    items: PropTypes.array.isRequired,
    onChangePage: PropTypes.func.isRequired,
    initialPage: PropTypes.number   
}
 
const defaultProps = {
    initialPage: 1
}
 
class Pagination extends React.Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.state = { pager: {} };
    }
 
    componentWillMount() {
        this.setPage(this.props.initialPage);
    }
 
    setPage(page) {
        var items = this.props.items;
        var pager = this.state.pager;
 
        if (page < 1 || page > pager.totalPages) {
            return;
        }
 
        // get new pager object for specified page
        pager = this.getPager(items.length, page);
 
        // get new page of items from items array
        var pageOfItems = items.slice(pager.startIndex, pager.endIndex + 1);
 
        // update state
        this.setState({ pager: pager });
 
        // call change page function in parent component
        this.props.onChangePage(pageOfItems);
    }
 
    getPager(totalItems, currentPage, pageSize) {
        // default to first page
        currentPage = currentPage || 1;
 
        // default page size is 10
        pageSize = pageSize || 10;
 
        // calculate total pages
        var totalPages = Math.ceil(totalItems / pageSize);
 
        var startPage, endPage;
        if (totalPages <= 10) {
            // less than 10 total pages so show all
            startPage = 1;
            endPage = totalPages;
        } else {
            // more than 10 total pages so calculate start and end pages
            if (currentPage <= 6) {
                startPage = 1;
                endPage = 10;
            } else if (currentPage + 4 >= totalPages) {
                startPage = totalPages - 9;
                endPage = totalPages;
            } else {
                startPage = currentPage - 5;
                endPage = currentPage + 4;
            }
        }
 
        // calculate start and end item indexes
        var startIndex = (currentPage - 1) * pageSize;
        var endIndex = Math.min(startIndex + pageSize - 1, totalItems - 1);
 
        // create an array of pages to ng-repeat in the pager control
        var pages = _.range(startPage, endPage + 1);
 
        // return object with all pager properties required by the view
        return {
            totalItems: totalItems,
            currentPage: currentPage,
            pageSize: pageSize,
            totalPages: totalPages,
            startPage: startPage,
            endPage: endPage,
            startIndex: startIndex,
            endIndex: endIndex,
            pages: pages
        };
    }
 
    render() {
        var pager = this.state.pager;
 
        return (
            <ul className="pagination">
                <li className={pager.currentPage === 1 ? 'disabled' : ''}>
                    <a onClick={() => this.setPage(1)}>First</a>
                </li>
                <li className={pager.currentPage === 1 ? 'disabled' : ''}>
                    <a onClick={() => this.setPage(pager.currentPage - 1)}>Previous</a>
                </li>
                {pager.pages.map((page, index) =>
                    <li key={index} className={pager.currentPage === page ? 'active' : ''}>
                        <a onClick={() => this.setPage(page)}>{page}</a>
                    </li>
                )}
                <li className={pager.currentPage === pager.totalPages ? 'disabled' : ''}>
                    <a onClick={() => this.setPage(pager.currentPage + 1)}>Next</a>
                </li>
                <li className={pager.currentPage === pager.totalPages ? 'disabled' : ''}>
                    <a onClick={() => this.setPage(pager.totalPages)}>Last</a>
                </li>
            </ul>
        );
    }
}
 
Pagination.propTypes = propTypes;
Pagination.defaultProps
export default Pagination;

And here's an example App component that uses the Pagination component to paginate a list of 150 example items:

import React from 'react';
import Pagination from './Pagination';
 
class App extends React.Component {
    constructor() {
        super();
 
        // an example array of items to be paged
        var exampleItems = _.range(1, 151).map(i => { return { id: i, name: 'Item ' + i }; });
 
        this.state = {
            exampleItems: exampleItems,
            pageOfItems: []
        };
 
        // bind function in constructor instead of render (https://github.com/yannickcr/eslint-plugin-react/blob/master/docs/rules/jsx-no-bind.md)
        this.onChangePage = this.onChangePage.bind(this);
    }
 
    onChangePage(pageOfItems) {
        // update state with new page of items
        this.setState({ pageOfItems: pageOfItems });
    }
 
    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                <div className="container">
                    <div className="text-center">
                        <h1>React - Pagination Example with logic like Google</h1>
                        {this.state.pageOfItems.map(item =>
                            <div key={item.id}>{item.name}</div>
                        )}
                        <Pagination items={this.state.exampleItems} onChangePage={this.onChangePage} />
                    </div>
                </div>
                <hr />
                <div className="credits text-center">
                    <p>
                        <a href="http://jasonwatmore.com" target="_top">JasonWatmore.com</a>
                    </p>
                </div>
            </div>
        );
    }
}
 
export default App;
