How do I use Codeigniter pagination inside Twig views? - Ajax30 - 11-24-2020
I am working on a online newspaper/blogging application with CodeIgniter 3.1.8 and Bootstrap 4. I have decided to add themes to it. The application is not HMVC, only MVC.
I thought it was a good idea to use the Twig template engine to the theme(s). For this purpose, I use CodeIgniter Simple and Secure Twig.
The public views have the extension .twig, not .php.
This part of the Posts controller is responsible with displaying the posts with pagination:
PHP Code:
private function _initPagination($path, $totalRows, $query_string_segment = 'page') {
//load and configure pagination
$this->load->library('pagination');
$config['base_url'] = base_url($path);
$config['query_string_segment'] = $query_string_segment;
$config['enable_query_strings'] =TRUE;
$config['reuse_query_string'] =TRUE;
$config['total_rows'] = $totalRows;
$config['per_page'] = 12;
if (!isset($_GET[$config['query_string_segment']]) || $_GET[$config['query_string_segment']] < 1) {
$_GET[$config['query_string_segment']] = 1;
}
$this->pagination->initialize($config);
$limit = $config['per_page'];
$offset = ($this->input->get($config['query_string_segment']) - 1) * $limit;
return ['limit' => $limit, 'offset' => $offset];
}
public function index() {
//call initialization method
$config = $this->_initPagination("/", $this->Posts_model->get_num_rows());
$data = $this->Static_model->get_static_data();
$data['base_url'] = base_url("/");
$data['pages'] = $this->Pages_model->get_pages();
$data['categories'] = $this->Categories_model->get_categories();
//use limit and offset returned by _initPaginator method
$data['posts'] = $this->Posts_model->get_posts($config['limit'], $config['offset']);
$this->twig->addGlobal('siteTitle', 'My Awesome Site');
$this->twig->addGlobal('maincss', base_url('themes/caminar/assets/css/main.css'));
$this->twig->display('themes/caminar/layout', $data);
}
If I had classic codeigniter views, I would display the pagination on page this way (I already did, in a previous version of the project):
PHP Code:
<div class="pagination-container text-center">
<?php echo $this->pagination->create_links(); ?>
</div>
But I now need a way to pass the pagination to Twig views. Adding the code above does not work, and I have not been able to find a viable alternative.

You can simply add that function as part of the data array that will be sent to the view in your controller, like so:
Code:
$data['pagination'] = $this->pagination->create_links();Then in your twig template, you echo the variable:
Code:
{{ pagination }}
