Chris@909: # === Action Pack pagination for Active Record collections
Chris@909: #
Chris@909: # The Pagination module aids in the process of paging large collections of
Chris@909: # Active Record objects. It offers macro-style automatic fetching of your
Chris@909: # model for multiple views, or explicit fetching for single actions. And if
Chris@909: # the magic isn't flexible enough for your needs, you can create your own
Chris@909: # paginators with a minimal amount of code.
Chris@909: #
Chris@909: # The Pagination module can handle as much or as little as you wish. In the
Chris@909: # controller, have it automatically query your model for pagination; or,
Chris@909: # if you prefer, create Paginator objects yourself.
Chris@909: #
Chris@909: # Pagination is included automatically for all controllers.
Chris@909: #
Chris@909: # For help rendering pagination links, see
Chris@909: # ActionView::Helpers::PaginationHelper.
Chris@909: #
Chris@909: # ==== Automatic pagination for every action in a controller
Chris@909: #
Chris@909: # class PersonController < ApplicationController
Chris@909: # model :person
Chris@909: #
Chris@909: # paginate :people, :order => 'last_name, first_name',
Chris@909: # :per_page => 20
Chris@909: #
Chris@909: # # ...
Chris@909: # end
Chris@909: #
Chris@909: # Each action in this controller now has access to a @people
Chris@909: # instance variable, which is an ordered collection of model objects for the
Chris@909: # current page (at most 20, sorted by last name and first name), and a
Chris@909: # @person_pages Paginator instance. The current page is determined
Chris@909: # by the params[:page] variable.
Chris@909: #
Chris@909: # ==== Pagination for a single action
Chris@909: #
Chris@909: # def list
Chris@909: # @person_pages, @people =
Chris@909: # paginate :people, :order => 'last_name, first_name'
Chris@909: # end
Chris@909: #
Chris@909: # Like the previous example, but explicitly creates @person_pages
Chris@909: # and @people for a single action, and uses the default of 10 items
Chris@909: # per page.
Chris@909: #
Chris@909: # ==== Custom/"classic" pagination
Chris@909: #
Chris@909: # def list
Chris@909: # @person_pages = Paginator.new self, Person.count, 10, params[:page]
Chris@909: # @people = Person.find :all, :order => 'last_name, first_name',
Chris@909: # :limit => @person_pages.items_per_page,
Chris@909: # :offset => @person_pages.current.offset
Chris@909: # end
Chris@909: #
Chris@909: # Explicitly creates the paginator from the previous example and uses
Chris@909: # Paginator#to_sql to retrieve @people from the model.
