Salesforce Lightning Component:-

Use to develop a single page web applications for mobile and desktop devices, it offers responsive user interfaces and uses JavaScript and Apex on the client and server side respectively. It helps in developing custom components that can be reused as building blocks for communities, mobile apps running on Salesforce and Lightning experience seamlessly.

- Lightning Web Components model

Creating Pagination in Lightning Component:-
Pagination helps in delivering the needed result to the user in sets or chunks and not the entire data. The implementation of Pagination in Lightening Component can be done in two ways:
- Using Server Side Controller Call for every page.
- Using Client Side Controller Call for every page by fetching data all at once.
This article shares an example on creating pagination in lightning component using server side controller.
Few points that need to incorporate while pagination with the server side controller are as follows:-
- Load the data from the server in pieces with the queries to fetch X number of records at a time.
- Use LIMIT (limit the result page) and OFFSET (skips the results that will not show) in the SOQL query
- Make server side calls to retrieve the data for every page.
- Show total page count and total record count.
- Use “(cacheable=true)” annotation (caches the data on client side) in the apex class to make component performance faster.
