I have an Ajax method in CakePHP-3.4 within that I am using paginate for the custom query which is returning proper results. Now I am trying to set the pagination in the view for the ajax response. How to do that?

You can look at this [sandbox example](http://sandbox.dereuromark.de/sandbox/ajax-examples/pagination)

or what I done as a quick hack, wrap everything non paginated in a if

```php
<?php if (!$this->request->is('ajax')): ?>
.... // headers an options
<?php
endif;
foreach ($models as $model): ?>
    // Ajax content, list
<?php endforeach; ?>
// more content, like a footer

```

And then replace the “inner content” div with the next ajax call

I am unable to share the exact code but I can help you what exactly I used. I used [https://github.com/botmonster/jquery-bootpag](https://github.com/botmonster/jquery-bootpag) and then fetched the page count in the response of the ajax method also reload the content where the pagination was in `on('page'` event of `bootpag`.

Try to use bootpag because I got this easy for my situation and it is running smoothly with that.
