For Laravel 5.6+

Publish vendor template:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-pagination

Edit bootstrap-4.blade.php as following:

@if ($paginator->hasPages())

    {{-- Previous Page Link --}}
    @if ($paginator->onFirstPage())
        

            ‹
        
    @else
        

            ‹
        
    @endif

    currentPage() - 2; // show 3 pagination links before current
        $end = $paginator->currentPage() + 2; // show 3 pagination links after current
        if($start < 1) {
            $start = 1; // reset start to 1
            $end += 1;
        } 
        if($end >= $paginator->lastPage() ) $end = $paginator->lastPage(); // reset end to last page
    ?>

    @if($start > 1)
        

            {{1}}
        
        @if($paginator->currentPage() != 4)
            {{-- "Three Dots" Separator --}}
            
...
        @endif
    @endif
        @for ($i = $start; $i <= $end; $i++)
            

                {{$i}}
            
        @endfor
    @if($end < $paginator->lastPage())
        @if($paginator->currentPage() + 3 != $paginator->lastPage())
            {{-- "Three Dots" Separator --}}
            
...
        @endif
        

            {{$paginator->lastPage()}}
        
    @endif

    {{-- Next Page Link --}}
    @if ($paginator->hasMorePages())
        

            ›
        
    @else
        

            ›
        
    @endif

@endif

This example handle in a correct way new CSS classes, active link, three dots (correctly, not 1..2 3 4) and is it customizable (number of pages that you want to show).

Three dots handled correctly
