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/v2

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 requests on that router:

package main

import (
  "net/http"

  "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
  "github.com/webstradev/gin-pagination/v2/pkg/pagination"
)

func main(){
  r := gin.Default()
  
  r.Use(pagination.New())
  
  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/v2/pkg/pagination"
)

func main(){
  r := gin.Default()
  
  r.GET("/hello", pagination.New(), 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 data (for example in an SQL query).

Custom Usage

To create a pagination middleware with custom parameters the New() function supports various custom options provided as functions that overwrite the default value. All the options can be seen in the example below.

package main

import (
  "net/http"
  
  "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
  "github.com/webstradev/gin-pagination/v2/pkg/pagination"
)

func main(){
  r := gin.Default()
  
  paginator := pagination.New(
    pagination.WithPageText("page"), 
    pagination.WithSizeText("rowsPerPage"),
    pagination.WithDefaultPage(1),
    pagination.WithDefaultPageSize(15),
    pagination.WithMinPageSize(5),
    pagination.WithMaxPageSize(15),
    pagination.WithHeaderPrefix(""),
  )
  
  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.
