customize next and previous pagination button in laravel 5

Question

I'm unable to customize previous and next button with laravel 5.0 app. All I'm getting is >> << , but I want to make it more simpler: is there any way?

Answer 1

i found most simplest way

all I wanted was to replace << with my choice of text like back, same with >> I did something that might be useful

@if($results->previousPageUrl())
    <a href="{{ route('your.route') . '/url/' . $results->previousPageUrl() }}" class="btn btn-success btn-sm"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-left"></i> Back</a>
@endif
@if($results->nextPageUrl())
    <a href="{{ route('your.route') . '/url/' . $results->nextPageUrl() }}" class="btn btn-success pull-right btn-sm">Next <i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-right"></i></a>
@endif

Answer 2

I am using Laravel 5.1 and I see that render() method in BootstrapThreePresenter is not calling $this->getPreviousButton() with argument populated from lang/en/pagination.php, as I guess it should be. And getPreviousButton() has default parameter $text = '«'

So, yes I think it's framework mallfunction. I am sending push request now so I hope it will be fixed in next release.
