## Usage

```tsx showLineNumbers
import {
  Pagination,
  PaginationContent,
  PaginationEllipsis,
  PaginationItem,
  PaginationLink,
  PaginationNext,
  PaginationPrevious,
} from "@/components/ui/pagination"
```

```tsx showLineNumbers
<Pagination>
  <PaginationContent>
    <PaginationItem>
      <PaginationPrevious href="#" />
    </PaginationItem>
    <PaginationItem>
      <PaginationLink href="#">1</PaginationLink>
    </PaginationItem>
    <PaginationItem>
      <PaginationLink href="#" isActive>
        2
      </PaginationLink>
    </PaginationItem>
    <PaginationItem>
      <PaginationLink href="#">3</PaginationLink>
    </PaginationItem>
    <PaginationItem>
      <PaginationEllipsis />
    </PaginationItem>
    <PaginationItem>
      <PaginationNext href="#" />
    </PaginationItem>
  </PaginationContent>
</Pagination>
```

## Composition

Use the following composition to build a `Pagination`:

```text
Pagination
└── PaginationContent
    ├── PaginationItem
    │   └── PaginationPrevious
    ├── PaginationItem
    │   └── PaginationLink
    ├── PaginationItem
    │   └── PaginationEllipsis
    └── PaginationItem
        └── PaginationNext
```

## Examples

### Simple

A simple pagination with only page numbers.

<ComponentPreview styleName="base-nova" name="pagination-simple" />

### Icons Only

Use just the previous and next buttons without page numbers. This is useful for data tables with a rows per page selector.

<ComponentPreview styleName="base-nova" name="pagination-icons-only" />

## Next.js

By default the `<PaginationLink />` component will render an `<a />` tag.

To use the Next.js `<Link />` component, make the following updates to `pagination.tsx`.

```diff showLineNumbers /typeof Link/ {1}
+ import Link from "next/link"

- type PaginationLinkProps = ... & React.ComponentProps<"a">
+ type PaginationLinkProps = ... & React.ComponentProps<typeof Link>

const PaginationLink = ({...props }: ) => (
  <PaginationItem>
-   <a>
+   <Link>
      // ...
-   </a>
+   </Link>
  </PaginationItem>
)

```

**Note:** We are making updates to the cli to automatically do this for you.

</Callout>

## RTL

To enable RTL support in shadcn/ui, see the [RTL configuration guide](/docs/rtl).

<ComponentPreview styleName="base-nova" name="pagination-rtl" direction="rtl" />

### RTL Support

If you're upgrading from a previous version of the `Pagination` component, you'll need to apply the following updates to add the `text` prop:

<Steps>

<Step>Update `PaginationPrevious`.</Step>

```diff
  function PaginationPrevious({
    className,
+   text = "Previous",
    ...props
- }: React.ComponentProps<typeof PaginationLink>) {
+ }: React.ComponentProps<typeof PaginationLink> & { text?: string }) {
    return (
      <PaginationLink
        aria-label="Go to previous page"
        size="default"
        className={cn("cn-pagination-previous", className)}
        {...props}
      >
        <ChevronLeftIcon />
        <span className="cn-pagination-previous-text hidden sm:block">
-         Previous
+         {text}
        </span>
      </PaginationLink>
    )
  }
```

<Step>Update `PaginationNext`.</Step>

```diff
  function PaginationNext({
    className,
+   text = "Next",
    ...props
- }: React.ComponentProps<typeof PaginationLink>) {
+ }: React.ComponentProps<typeof PaginationLink> & { text?: string }) {
    return (
      <PaginationLink
        aria-label="Go to next page"
        size="default"
        className={cn("cn-pagination-next", className)}
        {...props}
      >
-       <span className="cn-pagination-next-text hidden sm:block">Next</span>
+       <span className="cn-pagination-next-text hidden sm:block">{text}</span>
        <ChevronRightIcon />
      </PaginationLink>
    )
  }
```
