Page-model attribute

As explained in Pro ASP.NET Core 7, Tenth Edition

A page-model attribute is the sample tag helper attribute that supplies a paging model to the page-link tag helper.

The page-model attribute supplies a PagingInfo object to a page-link tag helper. Razor finds it on a div and asks PageLinkTagHelper to replace that element with navigation links. section 7.4.1

Add paging links to a view

After the view uses ProductsListViewModel, add <div page-model="@Model.PagingInfo" page-action="Index"></div>. Requesting the application then produces links such as http://localhost:5000/?productPage=2. section 7.4.1

http://localhost:5000/?productPage=2

Inspect a generated paging URL to see how navigation moves between catalog pages. section 7.4.1
