# paginate

|
|
|
|
|
|
Platform-agnostic pagination library, with custom support for the
|
|
[Angel framework](https://github.com/angel-dart/angel).
|
|
|
|
# Installation
|
|
In your `pubspec.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
dependencies:
|
|
angel_paginate: ^1.0.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
This library exports a `Paginator<T>`, which can be used to efficiently produce
|
|
instances of `PaginationResult<T>`. Pagination results, when serialized to JSON, look like
|
|
this:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"total" : 75,
|
|
"items_per_page" : 10,
|
|
"previous_page" : 3,
|
|
"current_page" : 4,
|
|
"next_page" : 5,
|
|
"start_index" : 30,
|
|
"end_index" : 39,
|
|
"data" : ["<items...>"]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Results can be parsed from Maps using the `PaginationResult<T>.fromMap` constructor, and
|
|
serialized via their `toJson()` method.
|
|
|
|
To create a paginator:
|
|
|
|
```dart
|
|
import 'package:angel_paginate/angel_paginate.dart';
|
|
|
|
main() {
|
|
var p = new Paginator(iterable);
|
|
|
|
// Get the current page (default: page 1)
|
|
var page = p.current;
|
|
print(page.total);
|
|
print(page.startIndex);
|
|
print(page.data); // The actual items on this page.
|
|
p.next(); // Advance a page
|
|
p.back(); // Back one page
|
|
p.goToPage(10); // Go to page number (1-based, not a 0-based index)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The entire Paginator API is documented, so check out the DartDocs.
|
|
|
|
Paginators by default cache paginations, to improve performance as you shift through pages.
|
|
This can be especially helpful in a client-side application where your UX involves a fast
|
|
response time, i.e. a search page.
|
|
|
|
## Use With Angel
|
|
Naturally, a library named `angel_paginate` has special provisions for the
|
|
[Angel framework](https://github.com/angel-dart/angel).
|
|
|
|
In `package:angel_paginate/server.dart`, a function called `paginate` generates
|
|
pagination service hooks for you. If the result of a hooked service event is an `Iterable`,
|
|
it will be paginated. This is convenient because it works with any data store, whether it
|
|
be MongoDB, RethinkDB, an in-memory store, or something else entirely.
|
|
|
|
```dart
|
|
configureServer(Angel app) {
|
|
var service = app.service('api/foo') as HookedService;
|
|
service.afterIndexed.listen(paginate(itemsPerPage: 10));
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See `test/server_test.dart` for examples of usage with Angel. |
