React Js Challenge Day 12 | Creating a Custom Pagination Component in React Js

Welcome to Day 12 of the React Js Challenge! Today, we will be diving into creating a custom pagination component in React Js. Pagination is a common feature in web applications that allows users to navigate through a large set of data. In this challenge, we will be building our own pagination component from scratch using React Js.

Let’s start by creating a new React component called Pagination. This component will take in a few props such as currentPage, totalPages, and a callback function to handle page change. We will then use these props to render the pagination UI.

First, we will calculate the number of pages to show based on the totalPages prop. Next, we will render a list of page numbers and provide an onClick event for each number to trigger the page change callback function. Additionally, we will add “Prev” and “Next” buttons to allow users to go to the previous or next page.

Once we have the basic structure of the Pagination component, we can add some styling to make it look visually appealing. We can use CSS to style the page numbers, the “Prev” and “Next” buttons, and add some hover effects to improve the user experience.

Finally, we will test our custom Pagination component by integrating it into a sample application and verifying that it works as expected. We can also add some additional features such as displaying the current page, disabling the “Prev” and “Next” buttons when necessary, and handling edge cases like when there is only one page.

By the end of this challenge, you will have a functional and customizable Pagination component that you can use in your React Js applications. This will not only improve the user experience but also showcase your ability to create custom UI components in React Js.

So, are you ready to take on the challenge? Let’s get started with creating your own custom Pagination component in React Js!
