title: Pagination Tag Helpers
description: A couple of tag helpers to automate creating common pagination components
tags: [ Programming, C#, ASP.NET Core ]
---
These tag helpers work with [`PaginatedResults`](/posts/CsPaginationTools) to automatically create things like a results header (e.g. "Showing results 1-20 of 123" and "Page 1 of 7") as well as pagination links.
## How to use
```csharp
<pager-details results="this.Model.MyResults.ToObjectPaginatedResults()" />
@foreach (var result in this.Model.MyResults.Results)
{
...
}
<pager results="@this.Model.Accounts.ToObjectPaginatedResults()"
page-number-key="@nameof(this.Model.PageNumber)" />
```
The query parameter given as `page-number-key` will be changed or added to each the pagination link. The `page-number-key` query parameter will be left off for links to page 1.
## Code
The `pager-details` tag helper:
```csharp
using ASIS.SecretsManagement.Shared;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Rendering;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.TagHelpers;
using System.Text.Encodings.Web;
/// <summary>
/// Displays details about pagination in the form "Showing results x - y of z" on the left and
/// "Page x of y" on the right
/// </summary>
public class PagerDetailsTagHelper : TagHelper
{
public PaginatedResults<object> Results { get; set; }
public override void Process(TagHelperContext context, TagHelperOutput output)
{
output.TagName = "div";
output.TagMode = TagMode.StartTagAndEndTag;
output.AddClass("paginationDetails", HtmlEncoder.Default);
TagBuilder resultsNumDetails = new("span");
resultsNumDetails.InnerHtml.Append("Showing results "
+ $"{this.Results.FirstResultNumber} - {this.Results.LastResultNumber} "
+ $"of {this.Results.TotalResultsCount}");
output.Content.AppendHtml(resultsNumDetails);
TagBuilder pageNumDetails = new("span");
pageNumDetails.InnerHtml.Append(
$"Page {this.Results.PageNumber} of {this.Results.LastPageNumber}");
output.Content.AppendHtml(pageNumDetails);
}
}
```
And the `pager` tag helper:
```csharp
using ASIS.SecretsManagement.Shared;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Rendering;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.ViewFeatures;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.TagHelpers;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.WebUtilities;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives;
using System.Collections.Immutable;
/// <summary>
/// Creates a list of links to pages for the current list of data. This will replace the page number
/// parameter in the query string using the <see cref="PageNumberKey"/>.
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// Page 1 is assumed to be the default and the page number parameter will be excluded
/// </remarks>
public class PagerTagHelper : TagHelper
{
/// <summary>The name of the page number parameter in the query string</summary>
public string PageNumberKey { get; set; }
public PaginatedResults<object> Results { get; set; }
[ViewContext, HtmlAttributeNotBound]
public ViewContext ViewContext { get; set; }
private string CurrentPagePath { get => this.ViewContext.HttpContext.Request.Path; }
private ImmutableDictionary<string, StringValues> QueryStringValues { get; set; }
public override void Process(TagHelperContext context, TagHelperOutput output)
{
output.TagName = "nav";
output.TagMode = TagMode.StartTagAndEndTag;
output.Attributes.Add("aria-label", "pagination");
var paginationList = new TagBuilder("ul");
paginationList.AddCssClass("pagination");
this.QueryStringValues = QueryHelpers
.ParseQuery(this.ViewContext.HttpContext.Request.QueryString.Value)
.ToImmutableDictionary()
.Remove(this.PageNumberKey);
paginationList.InnerHtml.AppendHtml(this.CreatePreviousPageItem());
foreach (int i in Enumerable.Range(1, this.Results.LastPageNumber))
{
paginationList.InnerHtml.AppendHtml(this.CreatePageItem(i, i.ToString()));
}
paginationList.InnerHtml.AppendHtml(this.CreateNextPageItem());
output.Content.AppendHtml(paginationList);
}
private TagBuilder CreatePageItem(int pageNumber, string linkText)
{
var listItem = new TagBuilder("li");
var link = new TagBuilder("a");
if (pageNumber == this.Results.PageNumber)
link.AddCssClass("currentPage");
link.InnerHtml.AppendHtml(linkText);
// Leave off the number for page 1
var queryStringWithPageNumber = pageNumber == 1
? this.QueryStringValues
: this.QueryStringValues.Add(this.PageNumberKey, pageNumber.ToString());
link.Attributes.Add("href", QueryHelpers.AddQueryString(
this.CurrentPagePath, queryStringWithPageNumber));
listItem.InnerHtml.AppendHtml(link);
return listItem;
}
private TagBuilder CreatePreviousPageItem()
{
var listItem = new TagBuilder("li");
var link = new TagBuilder("a");
if (this.Results.IsFirstPage)
link.AddCssClass("disabled");
// Leave off the number for page 1
var queryStringWithPageNumber = this.Results.PreviousPageNumber == 1
? this.QueryStringValues
: this.QueryStringValues
.Add(this.PageNumberKey, this.Results.PreviousPageNumber.ToString());
link.Attributes.Add("href", QueryHelpers.AddQueryString(
this.CurrentPagePath, queryStringWithPageNumber));
link.InnerHtml.AppendHtml("«");
listItem.InnerHtml.AppendHtml(link);
return listItem;
}
private TagBuilder CreateNextPageItem()
{
var listItem = new TagBuilder("li");
var link = new TagBuilder("a");
if (this.Results.IsLastPage)
link.AddCssClass("disabled");
// Leave off the number for page 1
var queryStringWithPageNumber = this.Results.NextPageNumber == 1
? this.QueryStringValues
: this.QueryStringValues.Add(this.PageNumberKey, this.Results.NextPageNumber.ToString());
link.Attributes.Add("href", QueryHelpers.AddQueryString(
this.CurrentPagePath, queryStringWithPageNumber));
link.InnerHtml.AppendHtml("»");
listItem.InnerHtml.AppendHtml(link);
return listItem;
}
}
public static class PaginatedResultsExtensions
{
/// <summary>Razor doesn't like casting, so use this instead</summary>
public static PaginatedResults<object> ToObjectPaginatedResults<T>(
this PaginatedResults<T> paginatedResults) where T : class
{
return new PaginatedResults<object>(paginatedResults.PageNumber,
paginatedResults.ResultsPerPage, paginatedResults.Results,
paginatedResults.TotalResultsCount);
}
}
```
And some CSS for the `pager-details`:
```css
.paginationDetails {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
row-gap: 0.25em;
column-gap: 1em;
margin-bottom: 1em;
}
.paginationDetails:first-child {
margin-right: auto;
}
```
