Pagination on Liquid Tags

Introduction

Pagination refers to the process of assigning multiple pages to website content.

It is an important thing to consider when building a website, especially if you are fetching dynamic data from a database.

Outputting Pagination

Default Pagination

When you output a List Layout it will fetch results based on the parameters you've given it.

The parameter per_page will decide how many items will initially display in the List. By default, this value will be 20.

If more results were fetched than the per_page value, Pagination controls will be added to allow the User to change page and view the rest of the data.

How to remove Pagination Controls

Set the parameter show_pagination: 'false' to remove pagination controls.

How to move Pagination Controls

Firstly remove the default Pagination controls, as above. Secondly, add the following Liquid where you'd like the controls to sit within your HTML structure:

{%- include 'modules/siteglide_system/get/get_pagination' -%}

Specifying a Pagination Layout

Choose Your Layout File

Layouts for Pagination should be stored in Code Editor at the following path: layouts/pagination/my_pagination_layout_name.liquid

Add a Pagination Layout to a WebApp or Module "include" tag

{%- include 'webapp'
    id: '3'
    layout: 'default'
    per_page: '20'
    sort_type: 'properties.name'
    sort_order: 'asc'
    pagination_layout: 'my_pagination_layout_name'
-%}

Add a Pagination Layout to a Pagination "include" tag

{%- include 'modules/siteglide_system/get/get_pagination', pagination_layout: 'my_pagination_layout_name' -%}
