Registering Pager Component

You can register the pager component in your application by using the Vue.use().

Refer to the code example given below.

Vue.use(PagerPlugin);

Adding CSS Reference

The pager has different themes. They are:

• Material
• Office 365
• Fabric
• Bootstrap
• High Contrast

Import pager component CSS as given below in <style> section of the App.vue file.

<style>
<!-- Material theme used for this sample -->
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids/styles/material.css";
</style>

Adding Pager component

Add the Vue pager by using <ejs-pager> selector in <template> section of the App.vue file.

Import pager plugin into Vue application[src/App.vue] from the package @syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids.

Now place the below pager code in the App.vue. Here the pager is rendered with totalRecordsCount which is used to render numeric container.

<template>
  <div id="app">
  <ejs-pager> </ejs-pager>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { PagerPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids';

Vue.use(PagerPlugin);
export default {
  data () {
return {
}
  }
}
</script>

<style>
 @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids/styles/material.css";
</style>

Modify the template in [src/app.vue] file to render the pager component.

<template>
  <div id="app">
  <ejs-pager :totalRecordsCount='20'> </ejs-pager>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { PagerPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids';

Vue.use(PagerPlugin);
export default {
  data () {
return {
}
  }
}
</script>

<style>
 @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids/styles/material.css";
</style>

Page Size

pageSize value defines the number of records to be displayed per page. The default value for the pageSize is 12.

<template>
  <div id="app">
  <ejs-pager :pageSize='1' :totalRecordsCount='20'> </ejs-pager>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { PagerPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids';

Vue.use(PagerPlugin);
export default {
  data () {
return {
}
  }
}
</script>

<style>
 @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids/styles/material.css";
</style>

Page Count

<template>
  <div id="app">
  <ejs-pager :pageSize='1' :pageCount='3' :totalRecordsCount='20'> </ejs-pager>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { PagerPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids';

Vue.use(PagerPlugin);
export default {
  data () {
return {
}
  }
}
