Intro to PaginatorBundle

This is a new version of Paginator Bundle which has been made reusable, extensible, highly customizable and simple to use Symfony2 paginating tool based on Zend Paginator.

Requirements:

Zend library paginator package, without any view helpers. In future this requirement may be dropped
Doctrine ODM or ORM active bundle.

Features:

Single adapter for Zend paginator, which can be used as ORM or ODM query paginator, using DIC
Possibility to add custom filtering, sorting functionality depending on request parameters.
Extensions based on events for ODM and ORM query customizations.
View helper for simplified pagination templates and other custom operations like sorting.
Supports multiple paginators during one request

Notice: using multiple paginators requires setting the alias for adapter in order to keep non conflicting parameters. Also it gets quite complicated with a twig template, since hash arrays cannot use variables as keys.

Installation and configuration:

Install Zend Framework 2

git submodule add git://github.com/zendframework/zf2.git vendor/Zend

Get the bundle

Submodule the bundle

git submodule add git://github.com/knplabs/KnpPaginatorBundle.git vendor/bundles/Knp/Bundle/PaginatorBundle

Yml configuration example

knp_paginator:
    templating: ~ # enables view helper and twig

Add the namespaces to your autoloader

// app/autoload.php
$loader->registerNamespaces(array(
    'Knp'                       => __DIR__.'/../vendor/bundles',
    'Zend'                => __DIR__.'/../vendor/Zend/library',
    // ...
));

Add PaginatorBundle to your application kernel

// app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
    return array(
        // ...
        new Knp\Bundle\PaginatorBundle\KnpPaginatorBundle(),
        // ...
    );
}

Usage examples:

Controller

$em = $this->get('doctrine.orm.entity_manager');
$dql = "SELECT a FROM VendorBlogBundle:Article a";
$query = $em->createQuery($dql);

$adapter = $this->get('knp_paginator.adapter');
$adapter->setQuery($query);
$adapter->setDistinct(true);

$paginator = new \Zend\Paginator\Paginator($adapter);
$paginator->setCurrentPageNumber($this->get('request')->query->get('page', 1));
$paginator->setItemCountPerPage(10);
$paginator->setPageRange(5);

// if second paginator is required on same view:

$adapterODM = $this->get('knp_paginator.adapter');
$adapterODM->setQuery($someODMquery);
$adapterODM->setAlias('p2_'); // we do not want parameters to conflict
$paginator2 = new Paginator($adapterODM);
....

View

{# sorting of properties based on query components #}
    <th>{{ paginator|sortable('Id', 'a.id') }}</th>
    <th>{{ paginator|sortable('Title', 'a.title') }}</th>

{# table body #}
{% for article in paginator %}

    <td>{{ article.id }}</td>
    <td>{{ article.title }}</td>
</tr>
