Separated Pager for Yii2 is quite similar to the LinkPager that it extents. The only difference is that the first and last page are always shown as page numbers which eliminates the need for the "first" and "last" buttons.

Installation ¶

Install the extension ¶

Add the following to the require section of your composer.json file.

"justinvoelker/yii2-separatedpager": "*"

Usage ¶

Simply add the pager property to your GridView and reference this class

GridView::widget([
    'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
    ...
    'pager' => [
        'class' => 'justinvoelker\separatedpager\LinkPager',
    ]
]);

Please note that specifying less than 7 pages won't produce useful results. Less than 7 pages of content is acceptable (will look like the standard LinkPager) but limiting the pager to something less than 7 pages will look and work poorly. Five pages and the pager is almost worthless. Less than 5 and it is worthless.

Available Options ¶

In addition to all of the standard LinkPager properties, one new property has been added, separator, that specifies a string to be used to indicate that multiple pages are being omitted. The default separator is ....

Here is my preferred pager setup. A max of 7 pages, 'Previous' and 'Next' buttons spelled out that are hidden on extra-small screens.

    'pager' => [
        'class' => 'justinvoelker\separatedpager\CustomLinkPager',
        'maxButtonCount' => 7,
        'prevPageLabel' => 'Previous',
        'nextPageLabel' => 'Next',
        'prevPageCssClass' => 'prev hidden-xs',
        'nextPageCssClass' => 'next hidden-xs',
    ]

Keep in mind that setting css classes will overwrite the defaults rather than appending to them. If additional classes should be included (such as the 'hidden-xs' above) the original prev and next should be included as well (this is the same way the standard LinkPager functions).
