Day 19: Pagination 📖

Pagination helps users browse through the sequence of related content.

The example component is visible below.

A few notes about this pagination component:

• CSS Variables are used for colors,
• CSS Flexbox is used for layout,
• the gap property is used to add spacing between flex items,
• the advent-pagination a[aria-current="true"] selector is used to target the current pagination item,
• aria-label and aria-current attributes are used to make the component accessible.

The code:

<nav class="advent-pagination" aria-label="Pagination navigation">
  <ul>
    <li><a href="#page-1" aria-label="Go to first page">First</a></li>
    <li><a href="#page-1" aria-label="Go to page 2">2</a></li>
    <li><a href="/page-3" aria-label="Current page, page 3" aria-current="true">3</a></li>
    <li><a href="#page-4" aria-label="Go to page 4">4</a></li>
    <li><a href="#page-100" aria-label="Go to last page">Last</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>
