Angular ui.grid paging vs. pagination

Question

I am new to ui.grid and using the tutorial to get a grid with lots of data. My version is 3.0.0.RC16 which I got from bower install angular-ui-grid

I would like to use paging but get errors.

There are 2 Tutorials regarding paging one called Pagination and one Paging:

• http://ui-grid.info/docs/#/tutorial/214_pagination
• http://ui-grid.info/docs/#/tutorial/215_paging

Whats the difference between the two? Module 'ui.grid.paging' does not exist while 'ui.grid.pagination' does. What am I missing?

I want to use the paging example but always get errors Do I need a special unstable release? how to install it with bower?

Thanks!

UPDATE

Meanwhile I manually downloaded the unstable version of ui-grid and indeed, paging exists only in unstable. I could not find explanations on the web why this is the case, so I assume that its not ready for prod. Nevertheless I would like to understand the difference to Pagination and if there is a bower package to install unstable versions.

UPDATE meanwhile Paging was removed from the unstable versions. It seems the functionality was completely merged into pagination. I had to change "paging" into "pagination" in controllers and views and everything seems to work (so far)

I was not the only one confused

As far as I know the 'pagination'-module was a first and new development of paging in ui-grid. A few weeks later, someone tried to reimplement the paging from the old grid-version nggrid in the new ui-grid and named it 'paging'. There are efforts to combine the two.

Thanks for that comment, you could post it as answer and I would accept it. – Entomology

I just saw your bower-questions and thought that my comment is not an answer at all. – Neuberger

for BOWER I have no solution, there is no bower package for the unstable version. But you can always tweak the bower files manually and force it to reference the unstable version. – Entomology

I'm not using bower so I cannot help you with this one.

But I can tell you a few words to the difference of 'paging' and 'pagination' in ui-grid:

Facing rapid changes in ui-grid, github seems to be the best place to get answers to problems with ui-grid. The tutorial is most of the time not up to date. But the active developers react very fast on incoming issues on github.
