It’s designed to be flexible, SEO-friendly, and easy to customize. Designed for blogs, news feeds, and any content that grows over time. Features -------- [](#features) - Stable URLs β€” older content stays on the same page even as new items are added - SEO-Friendly β€” search engines retain indexing without shifting links - User-Centric β€” newest content always appears on the first page - Blade component - easy to use in Blade templates with Bootstrap-ready markup - Flexible Routing - supports custom URL patterns via `page-pattern` - Preserves all other query parameters - Reverse pagination support - show newest content first --- 🌐 SEO-Friendly Pagination with Custom URL Patterns -------------------------------------------------- [](#-seo-friendly-pagination-with-custom-url-patterns) SmartPagination allows you to generate clean, customizable, and SEO-optimized pagination URLs for your applications. Instead of relying on default query parameters like `?page=2`, you can define your own URL patterns such as `/blog/page-2`, `/news-p3.html`, or even `/archive-4y.html`. ### βœ… Why It Matters for SEO [](#-why-it-matters-for-seo) Search engines prefer stable, predictable URLs. When paginated content (like blog posts, product listings, or news articles) grows over time, traditional pagination can cause older content to shift across pages β€” which may lead to: - Duplicate indexing - Loss of link equity - Lower rankings for older content With **reverse pagination** and **custom URL patterns**, you can ensure that: - The first page always shows the newest content - Older content remains accessible at the same URL - Search engines consistently index the same pages over time This improves crawl efficiency and preserves ranking signals for evergreen content. ### πŸ”§ Examples of Custom Patterns [](#-examples-of-custom-patterns) You can define your own `pagePattern` using `{page}` as a placeholder: PatternResulting URL (Page 2)`page-{page}``/blog/page-2``news-p{page}.html``/news/news-p2.html``archive-{page}y``/archive-2y`--- πŸ” Reverse Pagination: Keep Your URLs Stable as Content Grows ------------------------------------------------------------ [](#-reverse-pagination-keep-your-urls-stable-as-content-grows) Reverse pagination is a powerful feature that ensures your **newest content always appears on the first page**, while older content stays anchored to its original URLs. This is especially useful for blogs, news feeds, changelogs, or any time-sensitive content. With **reverse pagination**, the first page always shows the latest items, and older pages remain unchanged β€” making your site more SEO-friendly. ### πŸ”§ Examples of Reverse Pagination [](#-examples-of-reverse-pagination) You have **100 articles**, sorted by newest first (`DESC`), showing **10 per page**. #### πŸ”΄ With Reverse Pagination Disabled [](#-with-reverse-pagination-disabled) Display PageReal PageArticles Shown`/news` (page 1)page 191–100 (newest)`/news/page-2`page 281–90.........`/news/page-10`page 101–10 (oldest)Tomorrow you publish 10 more articles (total: 110): Display PageReal PageArticles Shown`/news` (page 1)page 1101–110 (newest)`/news/page-2`page 291–100.........`/news/page-11`page 111–10 (still oldest)#### βœ… With Reverse Pagination Enabled [](#-with-reverse-pagination-enabled) Display PageReal PageArticles Shown`/news` (page 10)page 191–100 (newest)`/news/page-9`page 281–90 always on page-9.........`/news/page-1`page 101–10 (oldest) always on page-1#### Result: [](#result) - New content appears on the first page - Older content stays at the same URL - Search engines retain stable indexing - No shifting of articles across pages --- Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install via Composer: ``` composer require wnikk/smart-pagination ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) For basic usage, you can use the `smartPaginate` method on your Eloquent model. This method will automatically handle pagination with the latest items first and generate reverse pagination links. For example, if you have a `Post` model and want to paginate the latest posts on controller: ``` $posts = \App\Models\Post::orderByDesc('created_at')->smartPaginate(10, reverse: true); $posts->withPath('/post', '/page-{page}.html'); ``` In your Blade view (by default): ``` By default: {{ $posts->links() }} ``` Or your Blade custom view full version of params (SEO-friendly): ``` ``` Publish Configuration (optional) -------------------------------- [](#publish-configuration-optional) Publish Configuration ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag=smart-pagination-config ``` Publish Blade Views ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag=smart-pagination-views ``` License ------- [](#license) MIT ### Health Score 29 β€” LowBetter than 57% of packages Maintenance54 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity9 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity41 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits β€” single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** β€” Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
