# Intro to KnpPaginatorBundle

**SEO** friendly Symfony2 paginator to paginate everything

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/KnpLabs/KnpPaginatorBundle.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/KnpLabs/KnpPaginatorBundle)

Generally this bundle is based on [Knp Pager component][knp_component_pager]. This
component introduces a different way for pagination handling. You can read more about the
internal logic on the given documentation link.

[![knpbundles.com](http://knpbundles.com/KnpLabs/KnpPaginatorBundle/badge-short)](http://knpbundles.com/KnpLabs/KnpPaginatorBundle)

**Note:** Keep **knp-components** in sync with this bundle. If you want to use
older version of KnpPaginatorBundle - use **v1.0** tag in the repository which is
suitable to paginate **ODM mongodb** and **ORM 2.0** queries

## Latest updates

For notes about latest changes please read [`CHANGELOG`](https://github.com/KnpLabs/KnpPaginatorBundle/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md),
for required changes in your code please read [`UPGRADE`](https://github.com/KnpLabs/KnpPaginatorBundle/blob/master/Resources/doc/upgrade.md)
chapter of documentation.

## Requirements:

- Knp pager component `>=1.1`
- KnpPaginatorBundle's master compatible with symfony (`>=2.0` versions).
- Twig`>=1.5` version is required if you use twig templating engine

## Features:

- Does not require initializing specific adapters
- Can be customized in any way needed, etc.: pagination view, event subscribers.
- Possibility to add custom filtering, sorting functionality depending on request parameters.
- Separation of concerns, paginator is responsible for generating the pagination view only,
pagination view - for representation purposes.

**Note:** using multiple paginators requires setting the **alias** in order to keep non
conflicting parameters. Also it gets quite complicated with a twig template, since hash arrays cannot use
variables as keys.

## More detailed documentation:

- Creating [custom pagination subscribers][doc_custom_pagination_subscriber]
- [Extending pagination](#) class (todo, may require some refactoring)
- [Customizing view][doc_templates] templates and arguments

## Installation and configuration:

Pretty simple with [Composer](http://packagist.org), run:

```sh
composer require knplabs/knp-paginator-bundle
```

### Add PaginatorBundle to your application kernel

```php
// app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
    return array(
        // ...
        new Knp\Bundle\PaginatorBundle\KnpPaginatorBundle(),
        // ...
    );
}
```

### Configuration example

You can configure default query parameter names and templates

```yaml
knp_paginator:
    page_range: 5                      # default page range used in pagination control
    default_options:
        page_name: page                # page query parameter name
        sort_field_name: sort          # sort field query parameter name
        sort_direction_name: direction # sort direction query parameter name
        distinct: true                 # ensure distinct results, useful when ORM queries are using GROUP BY statements
    template:
        pagination: KnpPaginatorBundle:Pagination:sliding.html.twig     # sliding pagination controls template
        sortable: KnpPaginatorBundle:Pagination:sortable_link.html.twig # sort link template
```

There are a few additional pagination templates, that could be used out of the box in `knp_paginator.template.pagination` key:

* `KnpPaginatorBundle:Pagination:sliding.html.twig` (by default)
* `KnpPaginatorBundle:Pagination:twitter_bootstrap_v3_pagination.html.twig`
* `KnpPaginatorBundle:Pagination:twitter_bootstrap_pagination.html.twig`
* `KnpPaginatorBundle:Pagination:foundation_v5_pagination.html.twig`


## Usage examples:

### Controller

Currently paginator can paginate:

- `array`
- `Doctrine\ORM\Query`
- `Doctrine\ORM\QueryBuilder`
- `Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Query\Query`
- `Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Query\Builder`
- `Doctrine\Common\Collection\ArrayCollection` - any doctrine relation collection including
- `ModelCriteria` - Propel ORM query
- array with `Solarium_Client` and `Solarium_Query_Select` as elements

```php
// Acme\MainBundle\Controller\ArticleController.php

public function listAction(Request $request)
{
    $em    = $this->get('doctrine.orm.entity_manager');
    $dql   = "SELECT a FROM AcmeMainBundle:Article a";
    $query = $em->createQuery($dql);

    $paginator  = $this->get('knp_paginator');
    $pagination = $paginator->paginate(
        $query, /* query NOT result */
        $request->query->getInt('page', 1)/*page number*/,
        10/*limit per page*/
    );

    // parameters to template
    return $this->render('AcmeMainBundle:Article:list.html.twig', array('pagination' => $pagination));
}
```

### View

```jinja
{# total items count #}
<div class="count">
    {{ pagination.getTotalItemCount }}
</div>
<table>
<tr>
{# sorting of properties based on query components #}
    <th>{{ knp_pagination_sortable(pagination, 'Id', 'a.id') }}</th>
    <th{% if pagination.isSorted('a.Title') %} class="sorted"{% endif %}>{{ knp_pagination_sortable(pagination, 'Title', 'a.title') }}</th>
    <th>{{ knp_pagination_sortable(pagination, 'Release', ['a.date', 'a.time']) }}</th>
</tr>

{# table body #}
{% for article in pagination %}
<tr {% if loop.index is odd %}class="color"{% endif %}>
    <td>{{ article.id }}</td>
    <td>{{ article.title }}</td>
    <td>{{ article.date | date('Y-m-d') }}, {{ article.time | date('H:i:s') }}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>
{# display navigation #}
<div class="navigation">
    {{ knp_pagination_render(pagination) }}
</div>
```

### Translation in view
For translating the following text:
* ```%foo% name``` with translation key ```table_header_name```. The translation is in the domain ```messages```.
* ```{0} No author|{1} Author|[2,Inf] Authors``` with translation key ```table_header_author```. The translation is in the domain ```messages```.

translationCount and translationParameters can be combined.

```jinja
<table>
    <tr>
{# sorting of properties based on query components #}
       <th>{{ knp_pagination_sortable(pagination, 'Id'|trans({foo:'bar'},'messages'), 'a.id' )|raw }}</th>
       <th{% if pagination.isSorted('a.Title') %} class="sorted"{% endif %}>{{ knp_pagination_sortable(pagination, 'Title', 'a.title')|raw }}</th>
       <th>{{ knp_pagination_sortable(pagination, 'Author'|trans({}, 'messages'), 'a.author' )|raw }}</th>
    </tr>

<!-- Content of the table -->

</table>
```

### Dependency Injection

You can automatically inject a paginator service into another service by using the ```knp_paginator.injectable``` DIC tag.
The tag takes one optional argument ```paginator```, which is the ID of the paginator service that should be injected.
It defaults to ```knp_paginator```.

The class that receives the KnpPaginator service must implement ```Knp\Bundle\PaginatorBundle\Definition\PaginatorAwareInterface```.
If you're too lazy you can also just extend the ```Knp\Bundle\PaginatorBundle\Definition\PaginatorAware``` base class.
