Getting Started #

The number_paginator widget allows you to implement pagination with page numbers very easily. If you have content that is split up into several pages, number_paginator can be used to let the user switch between these page numbers. The package automatically handles the case where page numbers don't fit on one screen and replaces some of them with three dots.

Usage #

NumberPaginator only requires the number of pages (numberPages) to be set. All the rest is handled by the widget automatically. Normally, one also wants to react to page changes using the onPageChange callback. By default, NumberPaginator displays page numbers as central content of the paginator.

NumberPaginator(
  numberPages: 10,
  onPageChange: (int index) {

    // handle page change...
  },
)

With Controller #

NumerPaginatorController allows you to control the NumberPaginator from the outside, e.g. with an external button anywhere in your app.

// instantiate the controller in your state
final NumberPaginatorController _controller = NumberPaginatorController();

...
/// use it within NumberPaginator
NumberPaginator(
  controller: _controller,
  // by default, the paginator shows numbers as center content
  numberPages: _numPages,
  onPageChange: (int index) {
    setState(() {
      _currentPage = index;
    });
  },
)

...
// Use the controller, e.g. within a button, to trigger a page change
floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
  onPressed: () => _controller.next(),
  child: const Icon(Icons.navigate_next),
)

Customize #

NumberPaginator allows for several customizations.

Button look and feel

NumberPaginator(
  // by default, the paginator shows numbers as center content
  numberPages: 10,
  onPageChange: (int index) {
    setState(() {
      _currentPage = index; // _currentPage is a variable within State of StatefulWidget
    });
  },
  // initially selected index
  initialPage: 4,
  config: NumberPaginatorUIConfig(
    // default height is 48
    height: 64,
    buttonShape: BeveledRectangleBorder(
      borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(8),
    ),
    buttonSelectedForegroundColor: Colors.yellow,
    buttonUnselectedForegroundColor: Colors.white,
    buttonUnselectedBackgroundColor: Colors.grey,
    buttonSelectedBackgroundColor: Colors.blueGrey,
  ),
)

custom buttons

Visibility/customisation of prev/next buttons

NumberPaginator(
  // by default, the paginator shows numbers as center content
  numberPages: 10,
  onPageChange: (int index) {
    setState(() {
      _currentPage = index; // _currentPage is a variable within State of StatefulWidget
    });
  },
  // show/hide the prev/next buttons
  showPrevButton: true,
  showNextButton: false,  // defaults to true
  // custom content of the prev/next buttons, maintains their behavior 
  nextButtonContent: Icon(Icons.arrow_right_alt),
  // custom prev/next buttons using builder (ignored if showPrevButton/showNextButton is false)
  prevButtonBuilder: (context) => TextButton(
    onPressed: _controller.currentPage > 0 ? () => _controller.prev() : null,  // _controller must be passed to NumberPaginator
    child: const Row(
      children: [
        Icon(Icons.chevron_left),
        Text("Previous"),
      ],
    ),
  ),
)

prev/next button customisation

Content variations #

The new version of NumberPaginator allows for further customization of how a user can navigate between pages. It provides three different modes and an additional possibility of complete customization o the content using a builder.

Hidden (only arrows are visible)

The user only sees arrows to switch to the previous/next page.

NumberPaginator(
  numberPages: _numPages,
  // shows only default arrows, no center content of paginator
  config:
      const NumberPaginatorUIConfig(mode: ContentDisplayMode.hidden),
  onPageChange: (int index) {
    setState(() {
      _currentPage = index;
    });
  },
)

Numbers (default)

The paginator shows numbers for switching to any page number that is visible.

NumberPaginator(
  // by default, the paginator shows numbers as center content
  numberPages: _numPages,
  onPageChange: (int index) {
    setState(() {
      _currentPage = index;
    });
  },
)

screenshot with page numbers

The paginator shows a dropdown (material widget) for choosing which page to show, along with the prev/next buttons.

NumberPaginator(
  numberPages: _numPages,
  // shows a dropdown as the center paginator content
  config: const NumberPaginatorUIConfig(
      mode: ContentDisplayMode.dropdown),
  onPageChange: (int index) {
    setState(() {
      _currentPage = index;
    });
  },
)

Builder (for passing any content)

Using the contentBuilder property, you can pass any content that you want that should be displayed as a central part of the paginator. For example, you can pass a custom text:

NumberPaginator(
  numberPages: _numPages,
  contentBuilder: (index) => Expanded(
    child: Center(
      child: Text("Currently selected page: ${index + 1}"),
    ),
  ),
  onPageChange: (int index) {
    setState(() {
      _currentPage = index;
    });
  },
)

Complete example #

A complete example of a simple page widget with number pagination.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:number_paginator/number_paginator.dart';

class NumbersPage extends StatefulWidget {
  const NumbersPage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  _NumbersPageState createState() => _NumbersPageState();
}

class _NumbersPageState extends State<NumbersPage> {
  final int _numPages = 10;
  int _currentPage = 0;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    var pages = List.generate(
      _numPages,
      (index) => Center(
        child: Text(
          "Page ${index + 1}",
          style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headline1,
        ),
      ),
    );

    return Scaffold(
      body: pages[_currentPage],
      // card for elevation
      bottomNavigationBar: Card(
        margin: EdgeInsets.zero,
        elevation: 4,
        child: NumberPaginator(
          // by default, the paginator shows numbers as center content
          numberPages: _numPages,
          onPageChange: (int index) {
            setState(() {
              _currentPage = index;
            });
          },
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
