| # Javascript | ||
|
|
||
| ## Overview | ||
|
|
||
| A few helpers use javascript, and they are clearly recognizable by the `js` suffix: | ||
|
|
||
| - `pagy*_nav_js` | ||
| - `pagy*_combo_nav_js` | ||
| - `pagy_items_selector_js` | ||
|
|
||
| If you use any of them you should follow this documentation, if not, consider that Javascript is not used anywhere else, so you can skip this. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Usage | ||
|
|
||
| Load the [pagy.js](https://github.com/ddnexus/pagy/blob/master/lib/javascripts/pagy.js) file, and run `Pagy.init()` on window-load and eventually on [AJAX-load](#using-ajax). | ||
|
|
||
| **CAVEATS** | ||
| - If you override any `*_js` helper, ensure to override/enforce the relative javascript function, even with a simple copy and paste. If the relation between the helper and the function changes in a next release (e.g. arguments, naming, etc.), your app will still work with your own overriding even without the need to update it. | ||
| - See also [Preventing crawlers to follow look-alike links](../how-to.md#preventing-crawlers-to-follow-look-alike-links) | ||
|
|
||
| ### Add the oj gem | ||
|
|
||
| Although it's not a requirement, if you are on ruby 2.0+ (not jruby), and if you use any `*_nav_js` helper, you should add the `gem 'oj'` to your Gemfile. When available, Pagy will automatically use it to boost the performance. (Notice: It does nothing for normal, non-js helpers.) | ||
|
|
||
| ### In rails apps | ||
|
|
||
| #### With the asset pipeline | ||
|
|
||
| If your app uses the sprocket asset-pipeline, add the assets-path in the `pagy.rb` initializer: | ||
|
|
||
| ```ruby | ||
| Rails.application.config.assets.paths << Pagy.root.join('javascripts') | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Add the pagy javascript to the `application.js`: | ||
|
|
||
| ```js | ||
| //= require pagy | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Add an event listener for turbolinks: | ||
|
|
||
| ```js | ||
| window.addEventListener("turbolinks:load", Pagy.init); | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| or a generic one if your app doesn't use turbolinks: | ||
| ```js | ||
| window.addEventListener("load", Pagy.init); | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| #### With Webpacker | ||
|
|
||
| If your app uses Webpacker, ensure that the webpacker `erb` loader is installed: | ||
|
|
||
| ```sh | ||
| bundle exec rails webpacker:install:erb | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Then create a `pagy.js.erb` in order to render the content of `pagy.js` and add the event listener into it: | ||
|
|
||
| ```erb | ||
| <%= Pagy.root.join('javascripts', 'pagy.js').read %> | ||
| window.addEventListener("load", Pagy.init) | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| and import it in `app/javascript/application.js`: | ||
|
|
||
| ```js | ||
| import '../src/javascripts/pagy.js.erb' | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| **Notice**: | ||
|
|
||
| - You may want to use `turbolinks:load` if your app uses turbolinks despite webpacker | ||
| - or you may want just `export { Pagy }` from the `pagy.js.erb` file and import and use it somewhere else. | ||
| - You may want to expose the `Pagy` namespace, if you need it available elsewhere (e.g. in js.erb templates): | ||
| ```js | ||
| global.Pagy = Pagy | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ### In non-rails apps | ||
|
|
||
| Ensure the `pagy/extras/javascripts/pagy.js` script gets served with the page. | ||
|
|
||
| Add an event listener like: | ||
|
|
||
| ```js | ||
| window.addEventListener('load', Pagy.init); | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| or execute the `Pagy.init()` using jQuery: | ||
|
|
||
| ```js | ||
| $( window ).load(function() { | ||
| Pagy.init() | ||
| }); | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| # Javascript Navs | ||
|
|
||
| The following `pagy*_nav_js` helpers: | ||
|
|
||
| - `pagy_nav_js` | ||
| - `pagy_bootstrap_nav_js` | ||
| - `pagy_bulma_nav_js` | ||
| - `pagy_foundation_nav_js` | ||
| - `pagy_materialize_nav_js` | ||
| - `pagy_semantic_nav_js` | ||
|
|
||
| look like a normal `pagy*_nav` but have a few added features: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Client-side rendering | ||
| 2. Optional responsiveness | ||
| 3. Better performance and resource usage _(see [Maximizing Performance](../how-to.md#maximizing-performance))_ | ||
|
|
||
| Here is a screenshot (from the `bootstrap`extra) showing responsiveness at different widths: | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| ## Synopsis | ||
|
|
||
| See [extras](../extras.md) for general usage info. | ||
|
|
||
| In the `pagy.rb` initializer, require the specific extra for the style you want to use: | ||
|
|
||
| ```ruby | ||
| # you only need one of the following extras | ||
| require 'pagy/extras/bootstrap' | ||
| require 'pagy/extras/bulma' | ||
| require 'pagy/extras/foundation' | ||
| require 'pagy/extras/materialize' | ||
| require 'pagy/extras/navs' | ||
| require 'pagy/extras/semantic' | ||
| require 'pagy/extras/uikit' | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Use the `pagy*_nav_js` helpers in any view: | ||
|
|
||
| ```erb | ||
| <%== pagy_nav_js(@pagy) %> | ||
| <%== pagy_bootstrap_nav_js(@pagy) %> | ||
| <%== pagy_bulma_nav_js(@pagy) %> | ||
| <%== pagy_foundation_nav_js(@pagy) %> | ||
| <%== pagy_materialize_nav_js(@pagy) %> | ||
| <%== pagy_semantic_nav_js(@pagy) %> | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ## Variables | ||
|
|
||
| | Variable | Description | Default | | ||
| |:---------|:------------------------------------------------------------------|:--------| | ||
| | `:steps` | Hash variable to control multipe pagy `:size` at different widths | `false` | | ||
|
|
||
| ### :steps | ||
|
|
||
| The `:steps` is an optional non-core variable used by the `pagy*_nav_js` navs. If it's `false`, the `pagy*_nav_js` will behave exactly as a static `pagy*_nav` respecting the single `:size` variable, just faster and lighter. If it's defined as a hash, it allows you to control multiple pagy `:size` at different widths. | ||
|
|
||
| You can set the `:steps` as a hash where the keys are integers representing the widths in pixels and the values are the Pagy `:size` variables to be applied for that width. | ||
|
|
||
| As usual, depending on the scope of the customization, you can set the variables globally or for a single pagy instance. | ||
|
|
||
| For example: | ||
|
|
||
| ```ruby | ||
| # globally | ||
| Pagy::VARS[:steps] = { 0 => [2,3,3,2], 540 => [3,5,5,3], 720 => [5,7,7,5] } | ||
| # or for a single instance | ||
| pagy, records = pagy(collection, steps: { 0 => [2,3,3,2], 540 => [3,5,5,3], 720 => [5,7,7,5] } ) | ||
| # or use the :size as any static pagy*_nav | ||
| pagy, records = pagy(collection, steps: false ) | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| The above statement means that from `0` to `540` pixels width, Pagy will use the `[2,3,3,2]` size, from `540` to `720` it will use the `[3,5,5,3]` size and over `720` it will use the `[5,7,7,5]` size. (Read more about the `:size` variable in the [How to control the page links](../how-to.md#controlling-the-page-links) section). | ||
|
|
||
| **IMPORTANT**: You can set any number of steps with any arbitrary width/size. The only requirement is that the `:steps` hash must contain always the `0` width or a `Pagy::VariableError` exception will be raised. | ||
|
|
||
| #### Setting the right sizes | ||
|
|
||
| Setting the widths and sizes can create a nice transition between widths or some apparently erratic behavior. | ||
|
|
||
| Here is what you should consider/ensure: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. The pagy size changes in discrete `:steps`, defined by the width/size pairs. | ||
|
|
||
| 2. The automatic transition from one size to another depends on the width available to the pagy nav. That width is the _internal available width_ of its container (excluding eventual horizontal padding). | ||
|
|
||
| 3. You should ensure that - for each step - each pagy `:size` produces a nav that can be contained in its width. | ||
|
|
||
| 4. You should ensure that the minimum internal width for the container div be equal (or a bit bigger) to the smaller positive width. (`540` pixels in our previous example). | ||
|
|
||
| 5. If the container width snaps to specific widths in discrete steps, you should sync the quantity and widths of the pagy `:steps` to the quantity and internal widths for each discrete step of the container. | ||
|
|
||
| #### Javascript Caveats | ||
|
|
||
| In case of a window resize, the `pagy_*nav_js` elements on the page are re-rendered (when the container width changes), however if the container width changes in any other way that does not involve a window resize, then you should re-render the pagy element explicitly. For example: | ||
|
|
||
| ```js | ||
| document.getElementById('my-pagy-nav-js').render(); | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| # Javascript Combo Navs | ||
|
|
||
| The following `pagy*_combo_nav_js` offer an alternative pagination UI that combines navigation and pagination info in a single compact element: | ||
|
|
||
| - `pagy_combo_nav_js` | ||
| - `pagy_bootstrap_combo_nav_js` | ||
| - `pagy_bulma_combo_nav_js` | ||
| - `pagy_foundation_combo_nav_js` | ||
| - `pagy_materialize_combo_nav_js` | ||
| - `pagy_semantic_combo_nav_js` | ||
|
|
||
| They are the fastest and lighter `nav` on modern environments, recommended when you care about efficiency and server load _(see [Maximizing Performance](../how-to.md#maximizing-performance))_. | ||
|
|
||
| Here is a screenshot (from the `bootstrap` extra): | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| ## Synopsis | ||
|
|
||
| See [extras](../extras.md) for general usage info. | ||
|
|
||
| In the `pagy.rb` initializer, require the specific extra for the style you want to use: | ||
|
|
||
| ```ruby | ||
| # you only need one of the following extras | ||
| require 'pagy/extras/bootstrap' | ||
| require 'pagy/extras/bulma' | ||
| require 'pagy/extras/foundation' | ||
| require 'pagy/extras/materialize' | ||
| require 'pagy/extras/navs' | ||
| require 'pagy/extras/semantic' | ||
| require 'pagy/extras/uikit' | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Use the `pagy*_combo_nav_js` helpers in any view: | ||
|
|
||
| ```erb | ||
| <%== pagy_combo_nav_js(@pagy) %> | ||
| <%== pagy_bootstrap_combo_nav_js(@pagy) %> | ||
| <%== pagy_bulma_combo_nav_js(@pagy) %> | ||
| <%== pagy_foundation_combo_nav_js(@pagy) %> | ||
| <%== pagy_materialize_combo_nav_js(@pagy) %> | ||
| <%== pagy_semantic_combo_nav_js(@pagy) %> | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ## Methods | ||
|
|
||
| ### *_nav_js(pagy, ...) | ||
|
|
||
| All `*_nav_js` methods can take an extra `id` argument, which is used to build the `id` attribute of the `nav` tag. Since the internal automatic id generation is based on the code line where you use the helper, you _must_ pass an explicit id if you are going to use more than one `*_js` call in the same line for the same file. | ||
|
|
||
| **Notice**: passing an explicit id is also a bit faster than having pagy to generate one. | ||
|
|
||
| # Using AJAX | ||
|
|
||
| If you AJAX-render any of the javascript helpers mentioned above, you should also execute `Pagy.init(container_element);` in the javascript template. Here is an example for a `pagy_bootstrap_nav_js` AJAX-render: | ||
|
|
||
| `pagy_remote_nav_js` controller action (notice the `link_extra` to enable AJAX): | ||
|
|
||
| ```ruby | ||
| def pagy_remote_nav_js | ||
| @pagy, @records = pagy(Product.all, link_extra: 'data-remote="true"') | ||
| end | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| `pagy_remote_nav_js.html.erb` template for non-AJAX render (first page-load): | ||
|
|
||
| ```erb | ||
| <div id="container"> | ||
| <%= render partial: 'nav_js' %> | ||
| </div> | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| `_nav_js.html.erb` partial shared for AJAX and non-AJAX rendering: | ||
|
|
||
| ```erb | ||
| <%== pagy_bootstrap_nav_js(@pagy) %> | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| `pagy_remote_nav_js.js.erb` javascript template used for AJAX: | ||
|
|
||
| ```erb | ||
| $('#container').html("<%= j(render 'nav_js')%>"); | ||
| Pagy.init(document.getElementById('container')); | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| **IMPORTANT**: The `document.getElementById('container')` argument will re-init the pagy elements just AJAX-rendered in the container div. If you miss it it will not work with AJAX. |
