How to change number of pages appear on pagination slide?

I did a guide, showing custom template:

Here I show a custom template https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/guides/length-aware-paginator

Third reply I believe.

Works on mobile.

But this is covered in the docs:

https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/pagination#customizing-the-pagination-view

If you can wait a bit, Laravel 5.7 will make this really easy when it's released (any day): https://laravel-news.com/laravel-5-7-pagination-link-customizations

This option of Laravel 5.7 is Very nice @cronix. Thanks for sharing.

@Cronix actually not, his new method still shows second page and next to last page.

So even in ver 5.7 you can remove that as well with a custom template.

Here's what I use.

And I have already tested 5.7.

Thanks for sharing your model @jlrdw.

I mixed the default pagination and the new option of slide pagination on Laravel 5.7 that @Cronix sharing with us.

Maybe it will serve as a model for someone else who needs it.

@if ($paginator->hasPages())
    <ul class="pagination__items" role="navigation">
        {{-- Previous Page Link --}}
        @if ($paginator->onFirstPage())
            <li class="pagination__item pagination__item--disabled" aria-disabled="true" aria-label="@lang('pagination.previous')">
                <span aria-hidden="true">
                    ‹
                </span>
            </li>
        @else
            <li class="pagination__item">
                <a href="{{ $paginator->previousPageUrl() }}" rel="prev" aria-label="@lang('pagination.previous')">
                    <span>
                        ‹
                    </span>
                </a>
            </li>
        @endif

        {{-- Pagination Elements --}}
        @php
        $linksOnEachSlide     = 5; // Must be an odd number
        $halfLinksOnEachSlide = ($linksOnEachSlide - 1) / 2;
        $startPage            = $paginator->currentPage() - $halfLinksOnEachSlide < 1 ? 1 : ($paginator->currentPage() - $halfLinksOnEachSlide);
        $endPage              = ($paginator->currentPage() + $halfLinksOnEachSlide) > $paginator->lastPage() ? $paginator->lastPage() : ($paginator->currentPage() + $halfLinksOnEachSlide);
        $endPage              = $endPage < $linksOnEachSlide ? $linksOnEachSlide : $endPage;
        $startPage            = $endPage - $linksOnEachSlide < $startPage ? $endPage - ($halfLinksOnEachSlide * 2) : $startPage;
        @endphp

        @foreach(range($startPage, $endPage) as $page)

                </li>
            @endif
        @endforeach

        {{-- Next Page Link --}}
        @if ($paginator->hasMorePages())
            <li class="pagination__item">

Do you still have previous and next.

And you know the simple paginating can also be used on on mobile.
