Adding Another Pagination to Your Bootstrap Table in Rails

Pagination can be an essential feature in web applications, as it helps manage and navigate large datasets efficiently. However, in some cases, developers may find the need to replicate pagination controls for better user experience. In this guide, we will explore how to add a second pagination control to a single table using the bootstrap-table-rails gem in Ruby on Rails.

The Problem: Need for Dual Pagination

Initially, you might have a scenario where your Bootstrap table displays pagination controls only at the bottom. Let's say you want to add another identical pagination at the top of the table to enhance accessibility for users who prefer handling data upfront.

Example Scenario:

A table of user data that requires pagination for navigation.

Currently, pagination exists only at the bottom, which could be inconvenient for long tables.

The Solution: Implementing Dual Pagination

To achieve dual pagination in your Bootstrap table, we’ll need to make some modifications to your JavaScript and HTML code. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Update JavaScript Code

You need to adjust your Bootstrap table initialization code. By adding a small configuration, you can align pagination to both the top and bottom.

Updated JavaScript:

Step 2: Modify HTML

Next, you’ll need to update your HTML (or Slim) file to include the new pagination setting. This is where you configure Bootstrap table attributes.

Updated HTML (Slim):

Summary of Changes

JavaScript: Added paginationVAlign: "both" to the Bootstrap table initialization.

HTML/Slim: Included "pagination-v-align" => "both" in the table data attributes.

Conclusion

By following these simple steps, you can efficiently add another pagination control to the top of your Bootstrap table in your Ruby on Rails application while still using the existing bootstrap-table-rails gem. This enhancement can significantly improve the usability of your application, making data navigation much more intuitive for users.
