2 # === Action Pack pagination for Active Record collections
4 # The Pagination module aids in the process of paging large collections of
5 # Active Record objects. It offers macro-style automatic fetching of your
6 # model for multiple views, or explicit fetching for single actions. And if
7 # the magic isn't flexible enough for your needs, you can create your own
8 # paginators with a minimal amount of code.
10 # The Pagination module can handle as much or as little as you wish. In the
11 # controller, have it automatically query your model for pagination; or,
12 # if you prefer, create Paginator objects yourself.
14 # Pagination is included automatically for all controllers.
16 # For help rendering pagination links, see
17 # ActionView::Helpers::PaginationHelper.
19 # ==== Automatic pagination for every action in a controller
21 # class PersonController < ApplicationController
24 # paginate :people, :order => 'last_name, first_name',
30 # Each action in this controller now has access to a <tt>@people</tt>
31 # instance variable, which is an ordered collection of model objects for the
32 # current page (at most 20, sorted by last name and first name), and a
33 # <tt>@person_pages</tt> Paginator instance. The current page is determined
34 # by the <tt>params[:page]</tt> variable.
36 # ==== Pagination for a single action
39 # @person_pages, @people =
40 # paginate :people, :order => 'last_name, first_name'
43 # Like the previous example, but explicitly creates <tt>@person_pages</tt>
44 # and <tt>@people</tt> for a single action, and uses the default of 10 items
47 # ==== Custom/"classic" pagination
50 # @person_pages = Paginator.new self, Person.count, 10, params[:page]
51 # @people = Person.find :all, :order => 'last_name, first_name',
52 # :limit => @person_pages.items_per_page,
53 # :offset => @person_pages.current.offset
56 # Explicitly creates the paginator from the previous example and uses
57 # Paginator#to_sql to retrieve <tt>@people</tt> from the model.
