This is an experiment with the Pagination and Query Loop blocks.

Modified the Pagination Next block to load the new HTML from the server Turbolinks-style and merge the new HTML into the current page without a full page reload.

You can check the code, it's barely 30 lines but the steps are roughly:

  1. Load a frontend script in view.js file of the Pagination Next block
  2. Override the default click handler of the pagination block's anchor
  3. Load the HTML for the new page with Fetch instead
  4. Use morphdom library to merge new HTML into the current page
  5. We've overriden the browser's default behaviour so now we have to update the browser history with history.pushState()
  6. Rehydrate the page. Since we've loaded new HTML we have to re-run the script that overrides the default click handler of the anchor again... yada yada yada 😄

Still a bit buggy, but you get the idea:

Screen.Recording.2022-02-10.at.13.40.36.mov

- Override the default click handler of the pagination-next anchor
- Load the HTML for the new page with Fetch instead
- Use morphdom library to merge new HTML into the current page

Hi @michalczaplinski,

If I understand correctly, it seems that the client-side pagination is already implemented by #53812.

I'd like to close this PR, but if I've missed anything, please feel free to reopen it at any time.
