Page through the Angular Data Grid with a page-size selector, range info and CoreUI pagination controls instead of virtualized scrolling.
Pagination breaks the dataset into fixed-size pages with familiar Previous/Next controls. Use it when users expect discrete pages, when you want a predictable page height on the screen, or as the client-side counterpart to server-side data (which always paginates). Pagination is mutually exclusive with virtualization — turning it on switches the grid out of windowed scrolling.
Pagination mode
Instead of virtualization the grid can paginate — with a page-size selector,
range info and CoreUI .pagination controls. This demo also shows a custom
formatter, an actions column built with the cDataGridCell template, and row
selection.
import { Component } from '@angular/core'
import { DataGridCellDirective, DataGridComponent } from '@coreui/angular-data-grid'
import type { DataGridColumn, DataGridItem } from '@coreui/angular-data-grid'
const firstNames = ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Carol', 'Dave', 'Eve', 'Frank', 'Grace', 'Heidi', 'Ivan', 'Judy']
const lastNames = ['Smith', 'Jones', 'Brown', 'Taylor', 'Wilson', 'Davies', 'Evans', 'Thomas']
const roles = ['admin', 'editor', 'viewer']
@Component({
selector: 'docs-data-grid-pagination-example',
imports: [DataGridCellDirective, DataGridComponent],
template: `
<c-data-grid
[columns]="columns"
[items]="items"
[itemKey]="itemKey"
[pagination]="{ pageSize: 10 }"
[rowSelection]="true"
>
<ng-template cDataGridCell="actions" let-item>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-sm btn-outline-primary" (click)="edit(item)">Edit</button>
</ng-template>

export class DataGridPaginationExample {
readonly columns: DataGridColumn[] = [
{ key: 'id', label: '#', width: 90 },
{ key: 'name', label: 'Name' },
{ key: 'email', label: 'Email', style: { width: '30%' } },
{
key: 'role',
label: 'Role',
width: 110,
formatter: value => String(value).toUpperCase()
},
{

label: '',
sortable: false,
filterable: false,
width: 120
}
]
readonly items: DataGridItem[] = Array.from({ length: 1000 }, (_, i) => {
const name = `${firstNames[i % firstNames.length]} ${lastNames[i % lastNames.length]}`
return {
id: i + 1,
name,
email: `${name.toLowerCase().replace(' ', '.')}${i}@example.com`,
role: roles[i % roles.length]
}
})
readonly itemKey = (item: DataGridItem) => String(item.id)
edit(item: DataGridItem) {
alert(`Edit ${item.name} (#${item.id})`)
}
} Options
Bind [pagination]="true" for the defaults, or an object to configure it:
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
pageSize | number | 10 | Rows per page. |
pageSizeOptions | number[] | [5, 10, 20, 50] | Choices in the page-size selector. |
position | 'top' | 'bottom' | 'both' | 'bottom' | Where the pagination bar renders. |
info | boolean | true | Shows the Showing X–Y of Z range summary. |
Every page change emits the paginationChange output with the grid’s
{ pagination } state. Drive paging yourself through the
headless table — e.g. grid.table.setPageIndex(3).
