What is server-side pagination?
Server-side pagination is a way of controlling a subset of data requests that were fetched from a client-side server, and are useful if we don’t want to display all of the data at once. Server-side pagination requires the client to pass in a parameter in order to fetch the relevant information.
To implement server-side pagination in Angular, we have to make use of an Angular pagination package manager called ngx-pagination.
What is ngx-pagination?
Ngx-pagination is an Angular package manger (or tool) that has been made available for server-side pagination. It allows Angular developers to view data by pages, which is useful for receiving data in more manageable pieces.
Ngx-pagination accepts a single argument as an object to confirm the pagination instance interface.
