end

View

%table.table.table-bordered
%thead
  %tr
    - @csv_table.headers.each do |header|

        %td= element[1]

Basically am getting the table, but it is very long, i would like to add pagination to it. can someone help me on this, am new to rails.

Yusuf. I think you have to use something like Kaminari or any pagination gem. For example, your controller with Kaminari should looks like:

def index
  csv_file = CSV.open('file.csv', headers: true).read

  @csv_headers = csv_file.headers
  @csv_data = Kaminari.paginate_array(csv_file).page(params[:page]).per(10)
end
