如何在Angular UI Bootstrap Pagination中生成链接

Question

I have been continuing learning angular and have now used the angular ui bootstrap pagination successfully. I am able to display the list of items together with the correct number of pages. And also switch to the correct page whenever I click on the pagination.

Now my question is if a user wanted to bookmark a certain page, or to make sure the user stays on the same page whenever he refreshes the browser, how do I go about it. There are no links (href) being generated on the address bar of the browser. Do I also need to set routes? Can you please post some examples, as it would greatly help me. Thanks.

Answer 1

You need to set up routes, you can do it using routeProvider or ui router

In this example, I use route provider to demonstrate, but the idea is the same.

Here I set up a route with currentPage as parameter:

app.config(function($routeProvider) {
  $routeProvider
    .when('/page/:currentPage', {
        templateUrl: "template.html",
        controller: PaginationDemoCtrl
    })
});

In your controller, you can retrieve the current page from $routeParam :

$scope.currentPage = $routeParams.currentPage || 1; //default to 1 if the parameter is missing
//load your paged data from server here.

You could just $watch current page for changes and update the location accordingly:

$scope.$watch("currentPage",function(value){
     if (value){
        $location.path("/page/" + value);
     }
  })

With routing, you also need to update your code to load paged data from server. We don't load data immediately when the currentPage changes (in this case is the $watch function). We load our paged data when we retrieve the $routeParam.currentPage parameter.

As requested by @Harry, here is another solution to generate href links by overwriting bootstrap html template:

app.config(function($routeProvider) {
  $routeProvider
    .when('/page/:currentPage?', {
        templateUrl: "template.html",
        controller: PaginationDemoCtrl
    })
})
.run(["$templateCache","$rootScope","$location", function($templateCache,$rootScope,$location) {

  $rootScope.createPagingLink = function(pageNumber){
    return "#" + $location.path().replace(/([0-9])+/,pageNumber);
//Here is a sample function to build href paths. In your real app, you may need to improve this to deal with more case.
  }

  $templateCache.put("template/pagination/pagination.html",
    "<ul class=\"pagination\">\n" +
    "  <li ng-if=\"boundaryLinks\" ng-class=\"{disabled: noPrevious()}\"><a ng-href=\"{{$root.createPagingLink(1)}}\">{{getText('first')}}</a></li>\n" +
    "  <li ng-if=\"directionLinks\" ng-class=\"{disabled: noPrevious()}\"><a ng-href=\"{{$root.createPagingLink(page - 1)}}\">{{getText('previous')}}</a></li>\n" +
    "  <li ng-repeat=\"page in pages track by $index\" ng-class=\"{active: page.active}\"><a ng-href=\"{{$root.createPagingLink(page.number)}}\">{{page.text}}</a></li>\n" +
    "  <li ng-if=\"directionLinks\" ng-class=\"{disabled: noNext()}\"><a ng-href=\"{{$root.createPagingLink(page + 1)}}\">{{getText('next')}}</a></li>\n" +
    "  <li ng-if=\"boundaryLinks\" ng-class=\"{disabled: noNext()}\"><a ng-href=\"{{$root.createPagingLink(totalPages)}}\">{{getText('last')}}</a></li>\n" +
    "</ul>");
}]);

We can do this with the $location, without needing $route.

Here is an example of how to call the pagination from Angular UI Bootstrap:

<pagination ng-model="Controls.currentPage"
            total-items="Controls.totalItems"
            items-per-page="Controls.videosPerPage"
            max-size="5"
            rotate="false"
            boundary-links="true"
            ng-change="pageChanged()">
</pagination>

Inside the pageChanged() function, use the following to create a unique URL for your results page:

** My code is on Coffeescript, but the logic is simple and the code easy to adapt **

$location.search('page', $scope.Controls.currentPage)

And on your controller, use the following to check, when starting, if the URL parameter is there:

urlParams = $location.search()
if urlParams.page?
  $scope.Controls.currentPage = urlParams.page
else
  $scope.Controls.currentPage = 1

Yes, if you want your app to allow linking into certain states then you will have to have your app leverage the routeProvider.

The official docs don't have a great deal of information on routes but the tutorial has this page:

http://docs.angularjs.org/tutorial/step_07

Also John Lindquist's excellent short video tutorials are a must watch. One dealing with routes is:

Here the generic solution - the uibPagination directive decorator and the updated template:

angular.module('ui.bootstrap.pagination')
    .config(function($provide) {
        $provide.decorator('uibPaginationDirective', function($delegate, $templateCache) {
            var directive = $delegate[0];
            directive.scope.getPageHref = "&";
            $templateCache.put("uib/template/pagination/pagination.html",
                "<li ng-if=\"::boundaryLinks\" ng-class=\"{disabled: noPrevious()||ngDisabled}\" class=\"pagination-first\"><a ng-href=\"{{noPrevious() ? '' : getPageHref()(1)}}\" ng-disabled=\"noPrevious()||ngDisabled\" uib-tabindex-toggle>{{::getText('first')}}</a></li>\n" +
                "<li ng-if=\"::directionLinks\" ng-class=\"{disabled: noPrevious()||ngDisabled}\" class=\"pagination-prev\"><a ng-href=\"{{noPrevious() ? '' : getPageHref()(page - 1)}}\" ng-disabled=\"noPrevious()||ngDisabled\" uib-tabindex-toggle>{{::getText('previous')}}</a></li>\n" +
                "<li ng-repeat=\"page in pages track by $index\" ng-class=\"{active: page.active,disabled: ngDisabled&&!page.active}\" class=\"pagination-page\"><a ng-href=\"{{getPageHref()(page.number)}}\" ng-disabled=\"ngDisabled&&!page.active\" uib-tabindex-toggle>{{page.text}}</a></li>\n" +
                "<li ng-if=\"::directionLinks\" ng-class=\"{disabled: noNext()||ngDisabled}\" class=\"pagination-next\"><a ng-href=\"{{noNext() ? '' : getPageHref()(page + 1)}}\" ng-disabled=\"noNext()||ngDisabled\" uib-tabindex-toggle>{{::getText('next')}}</a></li>\n" +
                "<li ng-if=\"::boundaryLinks\" ng-class=\"{disabled: noNext()||ngDisabled}\" class=\"pagination-last\"><a ng-href=\"{{noNext() ? '' : getPageHref()(totalPages)}}\"  ng-disabled=\"noNext()||ngDisabled\" uib-tabindex-toggle>{{::getText('last')}}</a></li>\n" +
                "");
            return $delegate;
        });
    });

We decorate the directive with the getPageHref function passed from the outer scope which is used to construct the page links.

Usage:

<div ng-controller="ProductController">
    ...
    <ul uib-pagination
        total-items="totalItems"
        ng-model="page"
        get-page-href="getPageHref">
    </ul>
</div>

Now you have to define the getPageHref function in your outer scope:

angular.module('app')
.controller('ProductController', function($scope) {
    ...
    $scope.getPageHref = function(page) {
        return '#/products?page=' + page;
    };
});

Just to make code look better you can use template-url attribute on uib-pagination element to specify your new template url

I whould use ui-sref instead of using a function to generate the link .

and instead of reloading the controller for each page click pass a function for ng-click with $event so you could prevent the href from been executed with e.preventDefault() and calling your ajax before

<li ng-repeat="page in pages track by $index" ng-class="{active: page.active}"><a ui-sref="list({page: page.text})"  ng-click="$root.paginationClick(page.number,$event)">{{page.text}}</a></li>
