  - config
    - autoload.php
    - database.php
    - constants.php
    - pagination.php
    - routes.php
  - controllers
    - Employee.php
  - models

Step 1: Create the database and Table

For this tutorial, you need a MySQL database with the following table:

  //Table structure for table `employee`
  CREATE TABLE `employee` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT COMMENT 'Primary Key',
  `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Employee Name',
  `email` varchar(255) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Email Address',
  `salary` float(10,2) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Employee Salary',
  `age` int(11) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Employee Age',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COMMENT='datatable demo table' AUTO_INCREMENT=1;

//Dumping data for table `employee`

INSERT INTO `employee` (`id`, `name`, `email`, `salary`, `age`) VALUES
    (1, 'Nixon Tiger', 'tiger@techarise.com', 3208000.00, 45),
    (2, 'Garrett Winters', 'winters@techarise.com', 170750.00, 25),
    (3, 'Ashton Cox', 'cox@techarise.com', 86000.00, 66),
    (4, 'Cedric Kelly', 'kelly@techarise.com', 433060.00, 22),

    (7, 'Herrod Chandler', 'herrod@techarise.com', 137500.00, 39),
    (8, 'Rhona Davidson', 'rd@techarise.com', 327900.00, 36),
    (9, 'Colleen Hurst', 'colleen@techarise.com', 205500.00, 39),
    (10, 'Sonya Frost', 'frost@techarise.com', 103600.00, 23),
    (11, 'John Philip', 'filip@techarise.com', 26584.00, 25),
    (12, 'Sam Wood', 'sam@techarise.com', 26584.00, 27);

//Table structure for table `employee`

CREATE TABLE `employee` (

`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT COMMENT 'Primary Key',

`name` varchar(255) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Employee Name',

`email` varchar(255) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Email Address',

`age` int(11) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Employee Age',

PRIMARY KEY (`id`)

) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COMMENT='datatable demo table' AUTO_INCREMENT=1;

//Dumping data for table `employee`

INSERT INTO `employee` (`id`, `name`, `email`, `salary`, `age`) VALUES

(1, 'Nixon Tiger', 'tiger@techarise.com', 3208000.00, 45),

(2, 'Garrett Winters', 'winters@techarise.com', 170750.00, 25),

(3, 'Ashton Cox', 'cox@techarise.com', 86000.00, 66),

(4, 'Cedric Kelly', 'kelly@techarise.com', 433060.00, 22),

(5, 'Airi Satouy', 'airi@techarise.com', 162700.00, 33),

(6, 'Brielle Williamson', 'will@techarise.com', 372000.00, 29),

(7, 'Herrod Chandler', 'herrod@techarise.com', 137500.00, 39),

(12, 'Sam Wood', 'sam@techarise.com', 26584.00, 27);

Step 2: Initialization CodeIgniter pagination library

Initialization CodeIgniter pagination library (file name: pagination.php) “application/config/” folder.

total_rows: Total numer of entries in database.
use_page_numbers: Refers whether we want to use page number(1,2,3..) in the url or entry id(1,10, 20…) on uri segment.

Step 3: Create Model

Create a model file named Employee_model.php inside “application/models” folder.

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR 
exit('No direct script access allowed');
/**
 * Version: 1.0.0
 *
 * Description of Employee model
 *
 * @author TechArise Team
 *
 * @email  info@techarise.com
 *
 **/

// Employee class
class Employee_model extends CI_Model {
  // Declare variables
  private $_limit;
    private $_pageNumber;
    private $_offset;

  public function setLimit($limit) {
        $this->_limit = $limit;
    }

    public function setPageNumber($pageNumber) {
        $this->_pageNumber = $pageNumber;
    }

    public function setOffset($offset) {
        $this->_offset = $offset;
    }
  // Count all record of table "employee" in database.
  public function getAllEmployeeCount() {
        $this->db->from('employee');
        return $this->db->count_all_results();
    }
  // Fetch data according to per_page limit.
  public function employeeList() {       
        $this->db->select(array('e.id', 'e.name', 'e.email', 'e.salary', 'e.age'));
        $this->db->from('employee as e');          
        $this->db->limit($this->_pageNumber, $this->_offset);
        $query = $this->db->get();
        return $query->result_array();
    }

}
?>

<?php

defined('BASEPATH') OR

exit('No direct script access allowed');

/**

* Version: 1.0.0

* Description of Employee model

* @author TechArise Team

* @email info@techarise.com

**/

// Employee class

class Employee_model extends CI_Model {

// Declare variables

private $_limit;

private $_pageNumber;

private $_offset;

public function setLimit($limit) {

$this->_limit = $limit;

}

public function setPageNumber($pageNumber) {

$this->_pageNumber = $pageNumber;

}

public function setOffset($offset) {

$this->_offset = $offset;

}

// Count all record of table "employee" in database.

public function getAllEmployeeCount() {

$this->db->from('employee');

return $this->db->count_all_results();

}

// Fetch data according to per_page limit.

public function employeeList() {

$this->db->select(array('e.id', 'e.name', 'e.email', 'e.salary', 'e.age'));

$this->db->from('employee as e');

$this->db->limit($this->_pageNumber, $this->_offset);

$query = $this->db->get();

return $query->result_array();

}

Load “pagination” class in controller.

  <?php 
  // load library
  $this->load->library("pagination"); 
  ?>

<?php

// load library

$this->load->library("pagination");

Step 4: Create controllers

Create a controllers file named Employee.php inside “application/controllers” folder.

The Employee controller handles the calendar process.
__construct() – Loads the required library, helper and model.
index() – load employee data.
loadData() – Ajax request and get employee data.

Step 5:Create a view(header)

Create a view file named header.php inside “application/views/templates” folder.

This view contains the header section of the webpage. The Bootstrap library is used to provide a better UI, so, include it in the header section.

Step 6: Create a view(footer)

Create a view file named footer.php inside “application/views/templates” folder.

This view contains the footer section of the webpage.

Step 8: Make Ajax Request and Load Data with Pagination

We will also need to use jQuery code in views index.php in "application/views/employee" directory to load pagination and make Ajax request to load more records.

  <script type='text/javascript'>
  jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    createPagination(0);
    jQuery('#pagination_page_link').on('click','li.page-item a',function(e){
      e.preventDefault(); 
      var pageNum = $(this).attr('data-ci-pagination-page');
      createPagination(pageNum);
  });
  // create Pagination  
  function createPagination(pageNum){
    jQuery.ajax({
      type: 'POST', 
      url:baseurl+'Employee/loadData',
      data:{pageNum:pageNum},
      dataType: 'json',
      success: function(json) {
        jQuery('#pagination_page_link').html(json.page_links);
        paginationData(json.employeeInfo);
      }
  });
  }
  // pagination data
  function paginationData(data) {
    jQuery('#employeeList tbody').empty();
    for(key in data) {
      var empRow = "<tr>";
      empRow += "<td>"+ data[key].name +"</td>";
      empRow += "<td>"+ data[key].email +"</td>"
      empRow += "<td>"+ data[key].salary +"</td>"
      empRow += "<td>"+ data[key].age +"</td>"
      empRow += "</tr>";
      jQuery('#employeeList tbody').append(empRow);          
    }
  }
});
</script>

jQuery(document).ready(function() {

createPagination(0);

jQuery('#pagination_page_link').on('click','li.page-item a',function(e){

e.preventDefault();

var pageNum = $(this).attr('data-ci-pagination-page');

createPagination(pageNum);

});

// create Pagination

function createPagination(pageNum){

jQuery.ajax({

type: 'POST',

url:baseurl+'Employee/loadData',

data:{pageNum:pageNum},

dataType: 'json',

success: function(json) {

jQuery('#pagination_page_link').html(json.page_links);

paginationData(json.employeeInfo);

}

});

}

// pagination data

function paginationData(data) {

jQuery('#employeeList tbody').empty();

for(key in data) {

var empRow = "<tr>";

empRow += "<td>"+ data[key].name +"</td>";

empRow += "<td>"+ data[key].email +"</td>"

empRow += "<td>"+ data[key].salary +"</td>"

empRow += "<td>"+ data[key].age +"</td>"

empRow += "</tr>";

jQuery('#employeeList tbody').append(empRow);

}

});

</script>
