Modules Pager Overview
This section describes how to use pager.js using Solodev shortcodes. Pager adds paging and filtering to your web pages so you can sort entries by category, tag, date or even search through entries. Paging allows you to display multiple pages of entries and navigate back and forth and sort how many entries you'd like to display on each page.
Any module that requires paging and filtering will require the use of the [template_repeater] shortcode rather than the [repeater] shortcode.
Most of the pager shortcodes need to be added in the order in which it is shown in this section. These shortcodes work together and do not function separately. Not all filtering shortcodes are required. For example, you can use the category filter and filter without a search filter.
Prerequisites:
