# Pagination
The [Storefront API uses cursors](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/usage/pagination-graphql) to paginate through lists of data and the `` component makes it easy to paginate data from the Storefront API. It is important for pagination state to be maintained in the URL, so that the user can navigate to a product and return back to the same scrolled position in a list. It is also important that the list state is shareable via URL. The `` component provides a render prop with properties to load more elements into your list.
```jsx
import {Pagination, getPaginationVariables} from '@shopify/hydrogen';
import {useLoaderData, Link} from 'react-router';
export async function loader({request, context: {storefront}}) {
const variables = getPaginationVariables(request, {pageBy: 8});
const data = await storefront.query(ALL_PRODUCTS_QUERY, {
variables,
});
return {products: data.products};
}
export default function List() {
const {products} = useLoaderData();
return (
{({nodes, PreviousLink, NextLink}) => (
<>
Previous
Next
>
)}
);
}
const ALL_PRODUCTS_QUERY = `#graphql
query AllProducts(
$country: CountryCode
$language: LanguageCode
$first: Int
$last: Int
$startCursor: String
$endCursor: String
) @inContext(country: $country, language: $language) {
products(first: $first, last: $last, before: $startCursor, after: $endCursor) {
nodes { id
title
handle
}
pageInfo {
hasPreviousPage
hasNextPage
startCursor
endCursor
}
}
}
`;
```
## Props
### PaginationProps
### children
value: `PaginationRenderProp`
- PaginationRenderProp: FC>
A render prop that includes pagination data and helpers.
### connection
value: `Connection`
- Connection: {
nodes: Array;
pageInfo: PageInfo;
} | {
edges: Array<{
node: NodesType;
}>;
pageInfo: PageInfo;
}
The response from `storefront.query` for a paginated request. Make sure the query is passed pagination variables and that the query has `pageInfo` with `hasPreviousPage`, `hasNextpage`, `startCursor`, and `endCursor` defined.
### namespace
value: `string`
A namespace for the pagination component to avoid URL param conflicts when using multiple `Pagination` components on a single page.

### Multiple `Pagination` components on a single page
Use the `namespace` prop to differentiate between multiple `Pagination` components on a single page```jsx
import {useLoaderData, Link} from 'react-router';
import {getPaginationVariables, Pagination} from '@shopify/hydrogen';
export async function loader({request, context: {storefront}}) {
const womensPaginationVariables = getPaginationVariables(request, {
pageBy: 2,
namespace: 'womens', // Specify a unique namespace for the pagination parameters
});
const mensPaginationVariables = getPaginationVariables(request, {
pageBy: 2,
namespace: 'mens', // Specify a unique namespace for the pagination parameters
});
const [womensProducts, mensProducts] = await Promise.all([
storefront.query(COLLECTION_PRODUCTS_QUERY, {
variables: {...womensPaginationVariables, handle: 'women'},
}),
storefront.query(COLLECTION_PRODUCTS_QUERY, {
variables: {...mensPaginationVariables, handle: 'men'},
}),
]);
return {womensProducts, mensProducts};
}
export default function Collection() {
const {womensProducts, mensProducts} = useLoaderData();
return (
);
}
const COLLECTION_PRODUCTS_QUERY = `#graphql
query CollectionProducts(
$first: Int
$last: Int
$startCursor: String

pageInfo {

hasNextPage
startCursor

}
}
}
}
` as const;
