Data Grids / Data Management ▸ Paging

The DevExtreme DataGrid supports data paging. The component can load rows in chunks to improve performance when working with large data sets. This demo allows you to navigate between pages using the DataGrid pager.

You can use controls below the DataGrid to change pager display mode and toggle the visibility of individual pager elements. Note: navigation buttons are always visible in compact mode.

The built-in pager contains the following elements:

  • Page navigator
    Enables page navigation.

  • Page size selector
    Changes the page size. To display this element, enable the showPageSizeSelector property. You can also define allowed page sizes and specify the initial page size.

  • Page information
    Displays the current page number and total record count. To display page information, enable the showInfo property. You can customize this information text as needed.

The built-in pager supports full, compact, and adaptive (default) display modes. In compact mode, the pager uses less screen space. In adaptive mode, the DataGrid automatically chooses between full and compact modes based on the component width.

The DevExtreme DataGrid also supports external pagers. You can hide the built-in pager and configure a standalone Pagination component to navigate the DataGrid. For additional information, refer to the following example: DevExtreme DataGrid - Display a Pager Above the Grid.
