Pagination

Pagination in Kinetics is handled as the final stage in the pipeline flow. After the query is filtered, searched, and sorted, PaginatePipe will execute the query using Eloquent’s built-in pagination methods.

How PaginatePipe Works

No additional configuration is required on your part. PaginatePipe is included by default in every Table class pipeline.

// Pagination is already running automatically behind the scenes.
$table = Table::model(User::class)->columns([...])->make();

PaginatePipe will:

1. Read the current request parameters (e.g., ?page=2).
2. Add ->paginate() (or a compatible method) to the query builder.
3. Embed pagination metadata (such as total rows, number of pages, and previous/next page links) into the final JSON Response.

On the frontend side, the <Table /> component will automatically read this metadata and render the pagination navigation controls below the table.
