Pagination styles not showing

If `{{ $clients->links() }}` in Laravel is rendering the pagination but **not showing the styles**, it's likely because the **Tailwind CSS or Bootstrap styles** required for the pagination are missing or not properly loaded.

### Here’s how to fix it:

### ✅ 1. **Check which pagination template is being used**

Laravel uses **Tailwind by default** since v8. If you're using Bootstrap, you'll need to change the pagination view.

#### ➤ If you're using **Tailwind CSS**:
Ensure Tailwind is loaded properly in your app.

#### ➤ If you're using **Bootstrap**:
Tell Laravel to use the Bootstrap pagination template in a service provider:

use IlluminatePaginationPaginator;

public function boot()
{
    Paginator::useBootstrap(); // Add this in AppServiceProvider or a custom provider
}

### ✅ 2. **Make sure styles are loaded**

#### For Tailwind:

– Confirm Tailwind is included in your layout.
– Check if `vite.config.js` includes `resources/css/app.css` (or `app.scss` if using Sass).

#### For Bootstrap:

Make sure the following CSS is included:

<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

### ✅ 3. **Customize pagination if needed**

If you're using a custom view, you can publish and customize the pagination view:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-pagination

This will publish pagination templates in `resources/views/vendor/pagination/`.

### ✅ 4. **Use correctly in Blade**

<div class="d-flex justify-content-center mt-4">
    {{ $clients->links() }}
</div>

This will center the pagination and add some spacing.

Let me know if you're using Tailwind, Bootstrap, or something else — I can tailor the fix accordingly.
