dotnet new blazorwasm -o BlazorApp
cd BlazorApp

Prerequisites

Install the latest version of .NET SDK. If the .NET SDK is already installed, determine the installed version by running the following command in a command prompt (Windows), terminal (macOS), or command shell (Linux).

.NET CLI

dotnet --version

Create a Blazor WebAssembly App using .NET CLI

Run the following command to create a new Blazor WebAssembly App in a command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS) or command shell (Linux). For detailed instructions, refer to the Blazor WASM App Getting Started documentation.

.NET CLI

dotnet new blazorwasm -o BlazorApp
cd BlazorApp

Install Syncfusion^® Blazor packages

Install Syncfusion.Blazor.Navigations and Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes NuGet packages in your project using the NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio (Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Manage NuGet Packages for Solution), or the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code (dotnet add package), or the .NET CLI.

Alternatively, run the following commands in the Package Manager Console to achieve the same.

Package Manager

Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Navigations -Version 33.2.3
Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes -Version 33.2.3

NOTE

All Syncfusion Blazor packages are available on nuget.org. See the NuGet packages topic for details.

Add import namespaces

After the packages are installed, open the ~/_Imports.razor file and import the Syncfusion.Blazor and Syncfusion.Blazor.Navigations namespaces.

~/_Imports.razor

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Navigations

Register Syncfusion^® Blazor service

Register the Syncfusion^® Blazor service in the Program.cs file of your Blazor WebAssembly App.

Program.cs

....
using Syncfusion.Blazor;
....
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();
....

Add stylesheet and script resources

The theme stylesheet and script can be accessed from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Include the stylesheet and script references in the ~/index.html file.

<link href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes/fluent2.css" rel="stylesheet" />
....
<script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

NOTE

Check out the Blazor Themes topic to discover various methods (Static Web Assets, CDN, and CRG) for referencing themes in the Blazor application. Also, check out the Adding Script Reference topic to learn different approaches for adding script references in the Blazor application.

Add Syncfusion^® Blazor Pager component

Add the Syncfusion^® Blazor Pager component in the ~/Pages/Index.razor file. It can be integrated with other components to provide page navigation for large datasets. This example demonstrates integrating the Pager with the ListView component.

Index.razor

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Navigations

<SfPager PageSize="5" NumericItemsCount="4" TotalItemsCount="25">
</SfPager>

1. Render ListView component

Add the ListView component in the Pages/Index.razor file and bind it to a collection:

Index.razor

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Navigations
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Lists

<SfListView DataSource="@ListData" TValue="DataModel">
        <ListViewFieldSettings TValue="DataModel" Id="Id" Text="Name"></ListViewFieldSettings>
</SfListView>

@code {
    List<DataModel> ListData = new List<DataModel>();
    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        base.OnInitialized();
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Nancy, Berlin, France" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Andrew, Madrid, Germany" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Janet, London, Brazil" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Margaret, Marseille, Belgium" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Steven, Cholchester, Switzerland" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Laura , Tsawassen, Venezuela" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Robert, Tacoma, Austria" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Michael, Redmond, Mexico" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Albert, Kirkland, USA" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Nolan, London, Sweden" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Jennifer, Berlin, Finland" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Carter, Madrid, Italy" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Allison, Marseille, Spain" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "John, Tsawassen, UK" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Susan, Redmond, Ireland" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Lydia, Cholchester, Portugal" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Kelsey, London, Canada" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Jessica, Kirkland, Denmark" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Robert, Berlin, Austria" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Shelley, Tacoma, Poland" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Vanjack, Tsawassen, Norway" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "shelley, Cholchester, Argentina" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Lydia, Kirkland, Finland" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Jessica, Madrid, Sweden" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Nolan, London, UK" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Jennifer, Redmond, Italy" });
    }
    public class DataModel
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string Id { get; set; }
    }
}

2. Add Pager component

Add the Pager component in the same file (Pages/Index.razor) below the ListView. Configure the essential properties:

• PageSize – defines the number of items displayed per page.
• NumericItemsCount – specifies the count of numeric pager buttons.
• TotalItemsCount – indicates the total number of records in the data source.

Index.razor

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Navigations

<SfPager PageSize=5 NumericItemsCount=4 TotalItemsCount=25>
</SfPager>

For additional properties of Pager, refer to the API Reference.

3. Integrate Pager with ListView

To enable paging functionality, bind the ListView data for the current page by applying Skip and Take operations on the collection. These operations are based on the PageSize property of the Pager component.

The ItemClick event is triggered when a pager item is clicked. This event updates the Skip and Take values dynamically according to the selected page, ensuring that the correct subset of data is displayed in the ListView.

Index.razor

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Data
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Navigations
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Lists

<div class="col-lg-12 control-section sb-property-border">
 @{
    var listData = ListData.Skip(SkipValue).Take(TakeValue).ToList();
    <SfListView @ref="@List" DataSource="@listData" TValue="DataModel" HeaderTitle="Contacts" ShowHeader="true">
        <ListViewFieldSettings TValue="DataModel" Id="Id" Text="Name"></ListViewFieldSettings>
    </SfListView>
}
    <SfPager @ref="@Page" PageSize=5 NumericItemsCount=4 TotalItemsCount=25 ItemClick="Click">
    </SfPager>
</div>
@code {
    SfPager Page;
    public SfListView<DataModel> List { get; set; }
    public int SkipValue;
    public int TakeValue = 5;
    List<DataModel> ListData = new List<DataModel>();
    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        base.OnInitialized();
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Nancy, Berlin, France" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Andrew, Madrid, Germany" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Janet, London, Brazil" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Margaret, Marseille, Belgium" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Steven, Cholchester, Switzerland" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Laura , Tsawassen, Venezuela" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Robert, Tacoma, Austria" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Michael, Redmond, Mexico" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Albert, Kirkland, USA" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Nolan, London, Sweden" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Jennifer, Berlin, Finland" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Carter, Madrid, Italy" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Allison, Marseille, Spain" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "John, Tsawassen, UK" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Susan, Redmond, Ireland" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Lydia, Cholchester, Portugal" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Kelsey, London, Canada" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Jessica, Kirkland, Denmark" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Robert, Berlin, Austria" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Shelley, Tacoma, Poland" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Vanjack, Tsawassen, Norway" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "shelley, Cholchester, Argentina" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Lydia, Kirkland, Finland" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Jessica, Madrid, Sweden" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Nolan, London, UK" });
        ListData.Add(new DataModel { Name = "Jennifer, Redmond, Italy" });
    }
    public void Click(PagerItemClickEventArgs args)
    {
        SkipValue = (args.CurrentPage * Page.PageSize) - Page.PageSize;
        TakeValue = Page.PageSize;
    }
    public class DataModel
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string Id { get; set; }
    }
}

4. Run the application

Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or ⌘+F5 (macOS) to launch the application. The Pager component will render and enable navigation through the collection.
