Kerosene

Pagination for Ecto and Phoenix.

Installation

The package is available in Hex, the package can be installed as:

Add kerosene to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [{:kerosene, "~> 0.8.1"}]
end

Add Kerosene to your repo.ex:

defmodule MyApp.Repo do
  use Ecto.Repo, otp_app: :testapp
  use Kerosene, per_page: 2
end

Usage

Start paginating your queries

def index(conn, params) do
  {products, kerosene} = 
  Product
  |> Product.with_lowest_price
  |> Repo.paginate(params)

  render(conn, "index.html", products: products, kerosene: kerosene)
end

Add view helpers to your view

defmodule MyApp.ProductView do
  use MyApp.Web, :view
  import Kerosene.HTML
end

Generate the links using the view helpers

<%= paginate @conn, @kerosene %>

Kerosene provides a list of themes for pagination. By default it uses bootstrap. To use some other, add to config/config.exs:

config :kerosene,
	theme: :foundation

If you need reduced number of links in pagination, you can use simple mode option, to display only Prev/Next links:

config :kerosene,
	mode:  :simple

Building apis or SPA's, no problem Kerosene has support for Json.

defmodule MyApp.ProductView do
  use MyApp.Web, :view
  import Kerosene.JSON

  def render("index.json", %{products: products, kerosene: kerosene, conn: conn}) do
    %{data: render_many(products, MyApp.ProductView, "product.json"),
      pagination: paginate(conn, kerosene)}
  end

  def render("product.json", %{product: product}) do
    %{id: product.id,
      name: product.name,
      description: product.description,
      price: product.price}
  end
end

You can also send in options to paginate helper look at the docs for more details.
