I would like the pagination to loop back to the first item in the collection if currently displaying the last item of the collection.
#how do I utilise pagination and get the next page in the collection?

Hi @uneven token. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. The extracts provided do not contain information on how to loop back to the first item in the collection when displaying the last item using Astro's pagination. However, you can refer to the Astro documentation on Pagination (https://docs.astro.build/en/core-concepts/routing/#pagination) for more details on how pagination works in Astro.
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

@dreamy matrix How do I get the next page in a collection then?

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
In Astro, you can get the next page in a collection using the page prop that is passed to each page when you use the paginate() function. The page prop has a url.next property which provides a link to the next page in the set.
Here's an example of how you can use it:
---
// Paginate same list of { astronaut } objects as the previous example
export async function getStaticPaths({ paginate }) { /* ... */ }
const { page } = Astro.props;
---
<h1>Page {page.currentPage}</h1>
<ul>
{page.data.map(({ astronaut }) => <li>{astronaut}</li>)}
</ul>
{page.url.prev ? <a href={page.url.prev}>Previous</a> : null}
{page.url.next ? <a href={page.url.next}>Next</a> : null}
In this example, if there is a next page, a link to it will be displayed. Clicking on the "Next" link will take you to the next page in the collection.
