How to go to the last pagination page in CakePHP 3

In CakePHP 1.3 I could go to the last pagination page by adding the parameter page:last.

I tried to use ?page=last in CakePHP 3.0 but it does not work. How can I accomplish this?

The functionality you mention was removed in CakePHP 2.0.

In CakePHP 3.x, to create a link from within the view, you can call

$this->Paginator->last($last = 'last >>', $options =[])

To obtain the last page from within a controller, you can access the following property:

$this->request->params['paging']['pageCount']

EDIT

A possible workaround to accept page:last would be to add the following at the beginning of your action:

public function index() {
    // detect page:last
    if (!empty($this->request->params['named']['page'] && @$this->request->params['named']['page']=='last')) {
        $this->Paginator->paginate();
        $this->request->params['named']['page']=$this->request['paging'][$this->modelClass]['pageCount'];
    }

    //rest of code for action

    $this->set('results', $this->Paginator->paginate());
}

You have to call $this->paginate() twice, so it's not ideal.

Another option is perhaps to extend lib/Cake/Controller/Component/PaginatorComponent.php so that it supports page:last. For further information, see
