This is a service for pager information.

The pager.manager service manages the pager information which will eventually be rendered into pager elements in the response. To gather information related to pager information in the request, use the pager.parameters service.

Since there can be multiple pagers per requested page, each one is represented by an 'element' ID. This is an integer. It represents the index of the pager element within the 'page' query. The value of the element is an integer telling us the current page number for that pager.

This class generally replaces the functions in core/includes/pager.inc. Those functions use globals to store data which they all use. Since we require backwards compatibility with this behavior, this class presents a public API for using pager information, which is implemented using the same globals as a 'backend.'

  /**
   * Initializes a pager.
   *
   * This function sets up the necessary variables so that the render system
   * will correctly process #type 'pager' render arrays to output pagers that
   * correspond to the items being displayed.
   *
   * If the items being displayed result from a database query performed using
   * Drupal's database API, and if you have control over the construction of the
   * database query, you do not need to call this function directly; instead,
   * you can extend the query object with the 'PagerSelectExtender' extender
   * before executing it. For example:
   * @code
   *   $query = db_select('some_table')
   *     ->extend('Drupal\Core\Database\Query\PagerSelectExtender');
   * @endcode
   *
   * However, if you are using a different method for generating the items to be
   * paged through, then you should call this service in preparation.
   *
   * The following example shows how this service can be used in a controller
   * that invokes an external datastore with an SQL-like syntax:
   * @code
   *   // First find the total number of items and initialize the pager.
   *   $total = mymodule_select("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM data WHERE status = 1")->result();
   *   $num_per_page = \Drupal::config('mymodule.settings')->get('num_per_page');
   *   $pager = \Drupal::service('pager.manager')->createPager($total, $num_per_page);
   *   $page = $pager->getCurrentPage();
   *
   *   // Next, retrieve the items for the current page and put them into a
   *   // render array.
   *   $offset = $num_per_page * $page;
   *   $result = mymodule_select("SELECT * FROM data " . $where . " LIMIT %d, %d", $offset, $num_per_page)->fetchAll();
   *   $render = [];
   *   $render[] = [
   *     '#theme' => 'mymodule_results',
   *     '#result' => $result,
   *   ];
   *
   *   // Finally, add the pager to the render array, and return.
   *   $render[] = ['#type' => 'pager'];
   *   return $render;
   * @endcode
   *
   * A second example involves a controller that invokes an external search
   * service where the total number of matching results is provided as part of
   * the returned set (so that we do not need a separate query in order to
   * obtain this information). Here, we call PagerManagerInterface->findPage()
   * to calculate the desired offset before the search is invoked:
   * @code
   *
   *   // Perform the query, using the requested offset from
   *   // PagerManagerInterface::findPage(). This comes from a URL parameter, so
   *   // here we are assuming that the URL parameter corresponds to an actual
   *   // page of results that will exist within the set.
   *   $pager_parameters = \Drupal::service('pager.parameters');
   *   $page = $pager_parameters->findPage();
   *   $num_per_page = \Drupal::config('mymodule.settings')->get('num_per_page');
   *   $offset = $num_per_page * $page;
   *   $result = mymodule_remote_search($keywords, $offset, $num_per_page);
   *
   *   // Now that we have the total number of results, initialize the pager.
   *   $pager_manager = \Drupal::service('pager.manager');
   *   $pager_manager->createPager($result->total, $num_per_page);
   *
   *   // Create a render array with the search results.
   *   $render = [];
   *   $render[] = [
   *     '#theme' => 'search_results',
   *     '#results' => $result->data,
   *     '#type' => 'remote',
   *   ];
   *
   *   // Finally, add the pager to the render array, and return.
   *   $render[] = ['#type' => 'pager'];
   *   return $render;
   * @endcode
   *
   * @param int $total
   *   The total number of items to be paged.
   * @param int $limit
   *   The number of items the calling code will display per page.
   * @param int $element
   *   (optional) An integer to distinguish between multiple pagers on one page.
   *
   * @return \Drupal\Core\Pager\Pager
   *   The pager.
   */
  public function createPager($total, $limit, $element = 0);

  /**
   * Gets a pager from the static cache.
   *
   * @param int $element
   *   The pager element index.
   *
   * @return \Drupal\Core\Pager\Pager|null
   *   The pager, or null if not found.
   */
  public function getPager($element = 0);

  /**
   * Gets the URL query parameter array of a pager link.
   *
   * Adds to or adjusts the 'page' URL query parameter so that if you follow the
   * link, you'll get page $index for pager $element on the page.
   *
   * The 'page' URL query parameter is a comma-delimited string, where each
   * value is the target content page for the corresponding pager $element. For
   * instance, if we have 5 pagers on a single page, and we want to have a link
   * to a page that should display the 6th content page for the 3rd pager, and
   * the 1st content page for all the other pagers, then the URL query will look
   * like this: ?page=0,0,5,0,0 (page numbering starts at zero).
   *
   * @param array $query
   *   An associative array of URL query parameters to add to.
   * @param int $element
   *   An integer to distinguish between multiple pagers on one page.
   * @param int $index
   *   The index of the target page, for the given element, in the pager array.
   *
   * @return array
   *   The altered $query parameter array.
