Pagination Thymeleaf 3.0 Spring MVC - spring-mvc

Question

I would like to find a complete solution to Thymeleaf pagination using Spring PagingAndSortingRepository DAO. I got a partial solution working, but I can not get the final one. I think it would be interesting for everyone else as a code snipet, so I will ask for the whole thing. I could not find a solution on the web which is kind of strange for me (since I think it could be a quite common problem).
The final solution should behave like Google's pagination: with arrows on both sides only if it makes sense; with a maximun of 10 numbers (for example), and it should move from 1..10 --> 11..20 and so on, when you click the right arrow; and move to 5..15 when you click on 10. Just like google, you know. The size controls the number of items in each page, not the number of blocks or links in the pagination bar.
I have a DAO repository in Spring that extends PagingAndSortingRepository ...
package music.bolo.domain.repository;
import org.springframework.data.repository.PagingAndSortingRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
import music.bolo.domain.entity.Announcement;
#Repository public interface AnnouncementDao extends
PagingAndSortingRepository {
Announcement findFirstByOrderByDateDesc(); }
So my service can make a request and each page will get the totalPageNumbers (http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/commons/docs/current/api/org/springframework/data/domain/Page.html)...
private final static int PAGESIZE = 2;
.. .. #Autowired annotations...
public Page<Announcement> readAnnouncementPage (int pageNumber){
PageRequest request = new PageRequest(pageNumber-1, PAGESIZE, Sort.Direction.DESC, "date");
return announcementDao.findAll(request); }
My Controller uses the data to send all the information to Thymeleaf
#RequestMapping(value = "/viewannouncements", method = RequestMethod.GET)
ModelAndView viewAnnouncements(ModelAndView modelAndView, #RequestParam(name = "p", defaultValue = "1") int pageNumber) {
Page<Announcement> page = announcementService.readAnnouncementPage(pageNumber);
modelAndView.getModel().put("page2th", page);
modelAndView.setViewName("viewannouncements");
return modelAndView; }
My solution is partial, it shows all the pages all the time, no arrow control (actually useless) and without any other funcionality, but it is the most I could make it work without bugs.
<div class="tag-box tag-box-v7 text-justify">
<!-- <h2>Pagination Centered</h2>-->
<div class="text-center">
<ul class="pagination">
<li>«</li>
<!--<li>«</li>-->
<li th:each="i : ${#numbers.sequence( 1, page2th.TotalPages)}">
<a th:href="#{'/viewannouncements?p='}+${ i }" th:text="${ i }">1</a></li>
<!--<li>»</li>-->
<li>»</li>
</ul>
</div>

Answer 1

This is an example of pagination with SpringBoot and Thymeleaf templates, you can try it.
It is self-explanatory.

<div class="tag-box tag-box-v7 text-justify">
<div class="text-center">
<ul class="pagination" th:with="elementsperpage=2, blocksize=10, pages=${page2th.Number}/${elementsperpage}, wholepages=${format.format(pages)},
whole=(${page2th.Number}/${blocksize})+1, wholex=${format.format(whole)}, startnlockpage=${wholepages}*${blocksize+1}, endblockpage=${wholepages}*${blocksize+1},
startpage=${wholex-1}*${blocksize}, endpage=(${wholex}*${blocksize})+1">
<li>
<a th:if="${startpage gt 0}" th:href="#{${'/viewannouncements?p='}+${startpage}}"><<</a>
<a th:if="${startpage eq 0}" href="javascript:void(0);"><<</a>
</li>
<li th:each="pageNo : ${#numbers.sequence(endpage-11, (endpage lt page2th.TotalPages)? endpage-2 : page2th.TotalPages-1)}"
th:class="${page2th.Number eq pageNo}? 'active' : ''">
