Pagination is based off of the Fluent 2 pagination system.
Add this to your Package.swift file
.package(url: "https://github.com/vapor-community/pagination.git", from: "1.0.0")Conform your model to Paginatable
extension MyModel: Paginatable { }Once you have done that, it's as simple as returning your query in paginated format.
func test(_ req: Request) throws -> Future<Paginated<MyModel>> {
return try MyModel.query(on: req).paginate(for: req)
}Even return items off of the query builder
func test(_ req: Request) throws -> Future<Paginated<MyModel>> {
return try MyModel.query(on: req).filter(\MyModel.name == "Test").paginate(for: req)
}Making a request with the parameters is easy is appending ?page= and/or ?per=
curl "http://localhost:8080/api/v1/models?page=1&per=10"
A response looks like this
{
"data": [{
"updatedAt": "2018-03-07T00:00:00Z",
"createdAt": "2018-03-07T00:00:00Z",
"name": "My Test Model"
}],
"page": {
"position": {
"current": 1,
"max": 1
},
"data": {
"per": 10,
"total": 2
}
}
}
