Pagination styles not showing
April 9, 2025 · AI Conversations
### 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.
