This repository provides a couple of php-classes for generic paginations. The main class
is PaginationIterator. It permits iterating over a set of integer values. Depending
on the previous and next value it either returns a PageItem-Object or a GapItem-Object., (*1)
Several classes implementing the PaginationFactoryInterface may be used to create
PaginationIterators for several purposes., (*2)
A class which implements the PaginationIteratorInterface allows to iterate over a set of numbers
which represent pages in a pagination. It takes an array as its only constructor argument.
When iterating over the object it will return either an object implementing the PageItemInterface
for each integer number in the sorted constructor array or an object implementing the
GapItemInterface for each gap between the numbers., (*3)
Objects which implement the PaginationIteratorInterface provide the methods setGapItemClass()
and setPageItemClass(). They may be used to determine which classes the respective objects
should instantiate., (*4)
The repository provides a class PaginationIterator which implements the PaginationIteratorInterface
and the classes GapItem and PageItem which implement the respective interfaces., (*5)
Classes which implement the PaginationFactoryInterface help producing new objects
implementing the PaginationIteratorInterface. They must provide a makeNewPagination method.
This method takes four arguments:, (*6)
- int $max: the last page in the pagination
- int $steps: the number of pages that the pagination should show / link to.
- int $current: the page currently shown
- int $min: the first page in the pagination
The repository provides several implementations of the PaginationFactoryInterface:, (*7)
-
FullPaginationFactory: paginations produced by this factory will list each page in the pagination
and ignore the $steps and $current arguments
-
LogPaginationFactory: paginations produced by this factory will list the current page, the first and
the last page and $step pages in a distance from a^0 to a^n (respectivley a^m) with a^n = $min (and a^m = $max).
-
NeighbourPaginationFactory: pagination produced by this factory will list the first, the last, and the current page as well as
several pages in the direct neighbourhood of the current page.
-
StepPaginationFactory: paginations produced by this factory will list the first, the last, the current, the
previous, and the next page as well as several pages between the first and the last page in equal distance.
Example
$pagination = LogPaginationFactory::makeNewPagination(100, 20, 35);
foreach ($pagination as $item) {
if ($item instanceof GapItemInterface) {
echo '...';
} elseif ($item instanceof PageItemInterface) {
echo '<a href="http://www.example.com/overview.php?page='.$item->getPageNumber().'">'.$item->getPageNumber().'</a> | ';
}
}
