# nav.paging

One link in a layout.pager below a long list or table: a page number, Previous or Next. Pass current on the page shown

Component: [`<Action>`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/components/action.md) · Renders: `<a>` · Profile: [UI](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md)

## Example

```tsx
<Action intent="nav.paging" href="/somewhere" current={isCurrent}>Pagination</Action>
```

Code that says `pagination`, `page`, `previous`, `next` points here. `prongs check` warns when an element with this intent has a handler or label that points somewhere else.

## Choosing between neighbours

Find the row that describes your element, and use the intent on the right.

| If it is for… | Use |
|---|---|
| One link in a layout.pager below a long list or table: a page number, Previous or Next. Pass current on the page shown | `nav.paging` (this page) |
| Pages in site navigation | [`nav.page`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/nav/page.md) |
| Steps in a multi-step flow | [`nav.step`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/nav/step.md) |
| Pages of a long list or table (rather than [`nav.dot`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/nav/dot.md)) | `nav.paging` (this page) |
| Page numbers below a long list (rather than [`nav.sequel`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/nav/sequel.md)) | `nav.paging` (this page) |

## Connections

Declared in the registry, both directions. Where an intent is used in your own code is something check and the gallery see; this site has no app code.

## For registry authors

**Starter intents.** These are the intents `prongs add` puts in your registry, shown in this site’s theme. Yours are your own `registry.ts`: rename, restyle and add to them, and see them with `prongs add gallery`.

What this intent is built from and its entry in `components/prongs/registry.ts`. You only need this to change how it looks or to add an intent like it.

How nav.paging resolves, and its definition

Each layer adds to the one before it; a later class wins over an earlier one that sets the same thing.
