Selecting first post on each paginated page

support

Hello.

I want to add a id selector to the first post on each page generated by Hugo Pagination. Is this possible?

In my index.html, I use pagination as follows:

{{ $paginator := .Paginate (where .Site.RegularPages "Type" "in" .Site.Params.mainSections) }}

{{ range $paginator.Pages }}

  {{ range first 1 $paginator.Pages }}
    {{ .Scratch.Set "firstID" "customID" }}
  {{ end }}

  <!-- post display -->

{{ end }}

This is another way I tried (in my list.html):

{{ range .Paginator.Pages }}

  {{ $firstPost := index $.Paginator.Pages 0 }}

  {{ if eq $firstPost.Permalink .Permalink }}
    {{ .Scratch.Set "firstID" "customID" }}
  {{ end }}

   <!-- post display -->

{{ end }}

In both the ways, I set the id using:

<div id = "{{ .Scratch.Get `firstID` }}">
  <!-- post content -->
</div>

Both ways aren’t giving the correct results. The first one seems fine, but, only on the first page, on second and other pages, it adds the ID to all the posts.

I don’t know what I was seeing, but, now I rechecked my first method and seems like, it’s working correctly. I’m get the required id on only the first post in all pages.
