+### Template usage example
+
+**Simple pagination (most common):**
+```typescript
+<script setup lang="ts">
+import { ref } from 'vue'
+import { N8nPagination } from '@n8n/design-system'
+
+const currentPage = ref(1)
+</script>
+
+<template>
+  <N8nPagination
+    :current-page="currentPage"
+    :page-size="20"
+    :total="100"
+    @update:current-page="currentPage = $event"
+  />
+</template>
+```
+
+**With custom pager count:**
+```typescript
+<script setup lang="ts">
+import { ref } from 'vue'
+import { N8nPagination } from '@n8n/design-system'
+
+const currentPage = ref(1)
+const rowsPerPage = 20
+const totalRows = 150
+</script>
+
+<template>
+  <N8nPagination
+    :pager-count="5"
+    :page-size="rowsPerPage"
+    :total="totalRows"
+    :current-page="currentPage"
+    @update:current-page="currentPage = $event"
+  />
+</template>
+```
+
+**Server-side pagination (0-indexed backend):**
+```typescript
+<script setup lang="ts">
+import { ref, watch } from 'vue'
+import { N8nPagination } from '@n8n/design-system'
+
+// Backend uses 0-indexed pages
+const backendPage = ref(0)
+const itemsPerPage = 25
+const totalItems = ref(0)
+
+// Fetch data when page changes
+watch(backendPage, async (newPage) => {
+  const response = await fetch(`/api/items?page=${newPage}&limit=${itemsPerPage}`)
+  const data = await response.json()
+  totalItems.value = data.total
+})
+
+// Convert between 1-indexed UI and 0-indexed backend
+const handlePageChange = (page: number) => {
+  backendPage.value = page - 1
+}
+</script>
+
+<template>
+  <!-- Display 1-indexed page to user, convert to 0-indexed for backend -->
+  <N8nPagination
+    :current-page="backendPage + 1"
+    :page-size="itemsPerPage"
+    :total="totalItems"
+    layout="prev, pager, next"
+    @update:current-page="handlePageChange"
+  />
+</template>
+```
+
+**Client-side pagination in data table:**
+```typescript
+<script setup lang="ts">
+import { ref, computed } from 'vue'
+import { N8nPagination } from '@n8n/design-system'
+
+const allItems = ref([/* ... large dataset ... */])
+const currentPage = ref(1)
+const pageSize = 20
+
+const totalPages = computed(() => Math.ceil(allItems.value.length / pageSize))
+
+const paginatedItems = computed(() => {
+  const start = (currentPage.value - 1) * pageSize
+  const end = start + pageSize
+  return allItems.value.slice(start, end)
+})
+</script>
+
+<template>
+  <div>
+    <!-- Display paginated items -->
+    <div v-for="item in paginatedItems" :key="item.id">
+      {{ item.name }}
+    </div>
+
+    <!-- Pagination controls -->
+    <N8nPagination
+      v-if="totalPages > 1"
+      :pager-count="5"
+      :page-size="pageSize"
+      :total="allItems.length"
+      :current-page="currentPage"
+      @update:current-page="currentPage = $event"
+    />
+  </div>
+</template>
+```
