How to implement client-side pagination with AJAX and jQuery?

To implement client-side pagination with AJAX and jQuery, follow these steps:

Create an HTML structure for your pagination section, which typically includes a container for the paginated data, buttons for navigating between pages, and an element to display the current page number.

<div id="pagination-container">
  <div id="data-container"></div>
  <div id="pagination-buttons">
    <button id="prev-page">Previous</button>
    <span id="current-page">1</span>
    <button id="next-page">Next</button>
  </div>
</div>

Write a JavaScript function to load the paginated data using AJAX. This function should accept the page number as a parameter and make an AJAX request to retrieve the corresponding data.

function loadData(page) {
  $.ajax({
    url: '/your-api-endpoint',
    method: 'GET',
    data: { page: page },
    success: function(response) {
      $('#data-container').html(response);
    },
    error: function(error) {
      console.log(error);
    }
  });
}

Create an event listener for the previous and next buttons. In their click event handlers, update the current page number and call the loadData() function with the corresponding page number.

$('#prev-page').click(function() {
  var currentPage = parseInt($('#current-page').text());
  if (currentPage > 1) {
    currentPage--;
    $('#current-page').text(currentPage);
    loadData(currentPage);
  }
});

$('#next-page').click(function() {
  var currentPage = parseInt($('#current-page').text());
  currentPage++;
  $('#current-page').text(currentPage);
  loadData(currentPage);
});

Initialize the pagination by calling the loadData() function for the initial page (usually 1).

loadData(1);

With these steps, you have implemented client-side pagination with AJAX and jQuery. The loadData() function retrieves the paginated data from the server, and the previous and next buttons allow users to navigate between pages. The current page number is displayed and updated accordingly.
