Custom pagination view in Laravel 5

Question

Laravel 4.2 has the option to specify a custom view in app/config/view.php such as:

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Pagination View
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This view will be used to render the pagination link output, and can
| be easily customized here to show any view you like. A clean view
| compatible with Twitter's Bootstrap is given to you by default.
|
*/
'pagination' => 'pagination_slider-alt'

This is gone in Laravel 5 at least regarding view.php.

Is there a way to replicate this behavior in Laravel 5?

Answer 1

In Laravel 5.3+ use

$users->links('view.name')

In Laravel 5.0 - 5.2 instead of

$users->render()

use

@include('pagination.default', ['paginator' => $users])

views/pagination/default.blade.php

@if ($paginator->lastPage() > 1)
<ul class="pagination">
    <li class="{{ ($paginator->currentPage() == 1) ? ' disabled' : '' }}">
        <a href="{{ $paginator->url(1) }}">Previous</a>
    </li>
    @for ($i = 1; $i <= $paginator->lastPage(); $i++)
        <li class="{{ ($paginator->currentPage() == $i) ? ' active' : '' }}">
            <a href="{{ $paginator->url($i) }}">{{ $i }}</a>
        </li>
    @endfor
    <li class="{{ ($paginator->currentPage() == $paginator->lastPage()) ? ' disabled' : '' }}">
        <a href="{{ $paginator->url($paginator->currentPage()+1) }}" >Next</a>
    </li>
</ul>
@endif

That's it.

If you have a lot of pages, use this template:

views/pagination/limit_links.blade.php

<?php
// config
$link_limit = 7; // maximum number of links (a little bit inaccurate, but will be ok for now)
?>

@if ($paginator->lastPage() > 1)
    <ul class="pagination">
        <li class="{{ ($paginator->currentPage() == 1) ? ' disabled' : '' }}">
            <a href="{{ $paginator->url(1) }}">First</a>
         </li>
        @for ($i = 1; $i <= $paginator->lastPage(); $i++)
            <?php
            $half_total_links = floor($link_limit / 2);
            $from = $paginator->currentPage() - $half_total_links;
            $to = $paginator->currentPage() + $half_total_links;
            if ($paginator->currentPage() < $half_total_links) {
               $to += $half_total_links - $paginator->currentPage();
            }
            if ($paginator->lastPage() - $paginator->currentPage() < $half_total_links) {
                $from -= $half_total_links - ($paginator->lastPage() - $paginator->currentPage()) - 1;
            }
            ?>
            @if ($from < $i && $i < $to)
                <li class="{{ ($paginator->currentPage() == $i) ? ' active' : '' }}">
                    <a href="{{ $paginator->url($i) }}">{{ $i }}</a>
                </li>
            @endif
        @endfor
        <li class="{{ ($paginator->currentPage() == $paginator->lastPage()) ? ' disabled' : '' }}">
            <a href="{{ $paginator->url($paginator->lastPage()) }}">Last</a>
        </li>
    </ul>
@endif
