Codeigniter 4 JSON Pagination - codeigniter-4

Question

Using Codeigniter 4 I am creating pagination but it returns rendered HTML when i try
<?= $pager->makeLinks($page, $perPage, $total) ?>
How can I get JSON data instead of this HTML

Answer 1

makeLink function returns the HTML markup. To return the JSON object you have to use $pager->getDetails(). This function returns the array which can be converted into JSON as follows
return json_encode(['pager' => $pager->getDetails()]);
This simply converts the array into a JSON object which you can handle using JavaScript. You can also use Response object to convert it into JSON as follow :
$this->response->setContentType('application/json')->setJSON(['pager' => $pager->getDetails()])->send();

Look at my code:
$parpage=10;
$page=1;
$offset=0;
$this->model->where('id', $id)->paginate($perpage'default',$page,$offset);

Answer 3

On your controller call the pager library & the model
Create an array for passing the data on the view like the code below:
public function samplePager() {
$yourModel = new modelName();
$pager = \Config\Services::pager();
$data = [
'users' => $yourModel->paginate(10),
'pager' => $yourModel->pager,
];
return view('users/index', $data);
}
On your view file sample users/index.php you must put this after the foreach() loop on the page
<?php foreach($users as $user): ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?= $pager->links() ?>
