Pagination Circles & Pager Dot Nav

12 ár síðan • updated by 12 ár síðan • 2

Has anyone made Pagination Circles or Dot Navigation in Wire? This could be used when paginate="yes" on a \pager>, \list> or \tableview> object to display which page you are currently on or even to navigate between pages.

They are great for small cell phone screens because they don't take up a lot of space and let the user quickly visualize the number of pages and which one they are on.

This has been done in the past. It is actually pretty easy to implement.

You simply create your dots as a class (with two different styles: on/off). Then present those dots where it is appropriate in your App.

In order to get them to switch when you change to another "page" you can use a concept called states.

Check out this link on a quick example of how to use states in your project:

I have included an example that I created for an app I built. It dynamically creates the pagination circles and centers them. It also allows you to delete the circles and rebuild them. This is useful when you are changing the query on your datasource (filtering data in an app) and the result count is different.

I attempted to pull this out of a larger app. Hopefully, it is trimmed down to only what you need.

There is a wire file and an XML file used as the datasource.

   <item>


      <name>5</name>


   </item>


   <item>


      <name>6</name>


   </item>   --> 


</items>

You can uncommonly the other three nodes in the XML to prove that the circles are built dynamically
