Implement React Pagination Using React Hooks and React Paginate

In the world of web development, providing an efficient and user-friendly way to navigate through large sets of data is crucial. Pagination is a common solution to this problem, and in this blog, we’ll explore how to implement pagination in a React application using React Hooks and the popular library, React Paginate. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have the knowledge and tools to create seamless pagination for your projects.

Prerequisites:

Before we dive into the implementation, make sure you have a basic understanding of React, JavaScript, and have a React application set up. If you’re ready, let’s get started!

Step 1: Create a New React Application

If you don’t already have a React application, you can set one up using Create React App or your preferred method.

shellCopy codenpx create-react-app react-pagination-demo
cd react-pagination-demo

Step 2: Install React Paginate

To use React Paginate, you need to install it in your project:

shellCopy codenpm install react-paginate

Step 3: Create a Paginated Component

Create a new component, for example, Pagination.js. In this component, import React Paginate and set up a basic structure for pagination:

javascriptCopy codeimport React, { useState } from 'react';
import ReactPaginate from 'react-paginate';

const Pagination = () => {
  // Define the number of items per page and the initial page
  const itemsPerPage = 10;
  const [currentPage, setCurrentPage] = useState(0);

  // Sample data (replace this with your own data)
  const data = Array.from({ length: 100 }, (_, i) => i + 1);

  // Calculate the number of pages
  const pageCount = Math.ceil(data.length / itemsPerPage);

  // Function to handle page change
  const handlePageChange = ({ selected }) => {
    setCurrentPage(selected);
  };

  // Get the current page's data
  const currentData = data.slice(
    currentPage * itemsPerPage,
    (currentPage + 1) * itemsPerPage
  );

  return (
    <div>
      {/* Render your data here */}
      <ul>
        {currentData.map((item) => (
          <li key={item}>{item}</li>
        ))}
      </ul>

      {/* Add pagination component */}
      <ReactPaginate
        pageCount={pageCount}
        onPageChange={handlePageChange}
        containerClassName={'pagination'}
        activeClassName={'active'}
      />
    </div>
  );
};

export default Pagination;

Step 4: Customize and Style

Customize the component and style it to fit your project's design and requirements. You can add CSS classes and styles to the pagination component and the data rendering section.

Step 5: Implement the Component

Now, you can implement the Pagination component in your main application file or any other component where you want to display paginated data.

javascriptCopy codeimport React from 'react';
import Pagination from './Pagination';

function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <h1>Pagination Example</h1>
      <Pagination />
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Step 6: Run Your Application

Start your React development server:

shellCopy codenpm start

Visit your application in a web browser, and you should see the paginated data along with navigation controls provided by React Paginate.

Conclusion:

Congratulations! You’ve successfully implemented pagination in a React application using React Hooks and React Paginate. This pagination component allows you to efficiently display and navigate through large sets of data, enhancing the user experience of your web application. Feel free to customize it further to match your specific project’s needs and styling preferences. Pagination is a crucial feature for any data-driven web application, and now you have the tools to implement it with ease. Happy coding!
