When is pagination better than infinite scroll for a list?

Use pagination when users need to jump to a specific page, understand total results, or when performance matters (showing all data is slow). Use infinite scroll for discovery-driven browsing (social media, feeds) where continuous exploration is the goal.

How many page numbers should I show in the controls?

Show 5-7 page numbers around the current page for clarity. Use ellipsis (...) to skip ranges. On mobile, show fewer numbers to save space. Always show prev/next and first/last page indicators.

How do I update pagination when filters change?

Pagination is independent of filters. When a user applies a filter, reset to page 1. Use URL query params (page=2&filter=category) so bookmarking and sharing work correctly.

Is Shadcn Pagination accessible for keyboard and screen reader users?

Yes. Each page link is a proper link element so keyboard Tab navigation works. Use meaningful labels (Page 3) and aria-current="page" on the active link so screen readers announce which page the user is on.

Where should I store pagination state: in URL query params or component state?

Store it in URL query params (preferred). When a user clicks a page link, update the URL and fetch new data. This way, users can bookmark, share links, and navigate back correctly.

How do ReUI pagination components differ from a minimal example?
