Implementation guidelines
Basic Structure
<rh-pagination>must have a nested<ol>element with at least one nested<li>and<a>element.- Each
<a>element must have anhrefattribute that links to the corresponding page.
URL Structure Options
You can implement pagination URLs using any of these approaches:
Option 1: Hash fragments (recommended for client-side routing)
- Example:
example.redhat.com/search/#2,example.redhat.com/search/#3 - If using query parameters, ensure the hash comes after:
example.redhat.com/search/?q=test#2
Option 2: Query parameters
- Example:
example.redhat.com/search?page=2,example.redhat.com/search?page=3 - Can be combined with other query parameters:
example.redhat.com/search?q=test&page=2
Option 3: Path-based URLs
- Example:
example.redhat.com/search/page/2,example.redhat.com/search/page/3
Option 4: Manual control with aria-current
- Set
aria-current="page"on the current page's<a>element - Useful for server-side rendered pagination
How the Current Page is Determined
The component determines the active page in this order:
- Looking for an
aria-current="page"attribute on an<a>tag - Matching the full URL (pathname, search parameters, and hash) against each link's
href - If no match is found, the component logs a warning: "could not determine current link"
