gin-pagination

Simple pagination middleware for the gin framework. Allows for the usage of url parameters like ?page=1&size=25 to paginate data on your API.

Installation

$ go get github.com/webstradev/gin-pagination

Default Usage

This package comes with a default pagination handler. This uses query parameters page and size with default values of 1 and 10 and a maximum page size of 100.

Using the middleware on a router will apply the it to all request on that router:

package main

import (
  "net/http"

  "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
  "github.com/webstradev/gin-pagination"
)

func main(){
  r := gin.Default()
  
  r.Use(pagination.Default())
  
  r.GET("/hello", func(c *gin.Context){
    c.Status(http.StatusOK)  
  })
  
  r.Run(":3000")
}

Using the middleware on a single route will only apply it to that route:

package main

import (
  "net/http"
  
  "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
  "github.com/webstradev/gin-pagination"
)

func main(){
  r := gin.Default()
  
  r.GET("/hello", pagination.Default(), func(c *gin.Context){
    page := c.GetInt("page")
  
    c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"page":page})  
  })
  
  r.Run(":3000")
}

The page and size are now available in the gin context of a request and can be used to paginate your date (for example in an SQL query).

Custom Usage

To create a pagination middleware with custom parameters use the pagination.New() function.

package main

import (
  "net/http"
  
  "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
  "github.com/webstradev/gin-pagination"
)

func main(){
  r := gin.Default()
  
  paginator := pagination.New("page", "rowsPerPage", "1", "15", 5, 150)
  
  r.GET("/hello", paginator, func(c *gin.Context){
    c.Status(http.StatusOK)  
  })
  
  r.Run(":3000")
}

The custom middleware can also be used on an entire router object similarly to the first example fo the Default Usage.
