module WillPaginate
# = Invalid page number error
# This is an ArgumentError raised in case a page was requested that is either
# zero or negative number. You should decide how do deal with such errors in
# the controller.
#
# If you're using Rails 2, then this error will automatically get handled like
# 404 Not Found. The hook is in "will_paginate.rb":
#
# ActionController::Base.rescue_responses['WillPaginate::InvalidPage'] = :not_found
#
# If you don't like this, use your preffered method of rescuing exceptions in
# public from your controllers to handle this differently. The +rescue_from+
# method is a nice addition to Rails 2.
#
# This error is *not* raised when a page further than the last page is
# requested. Use WillPaginate::Collection#out_of_bounds? method to
# check for those cases and manually deal with them as you see fit.
class InvalidPage < ArgumentError
def initialize(page, page_num)
super "#{page.inspect} given as value, which translates to '#{page_num}' as page number"
end
end
# = The key to pagination
# Arrays returned from paginating finds are, in fact, instances of this little
# class. You may think of WillPaginate::Collection as an ordinary array with
# some extra properties. Those properties are used by view helpers to generate
# correct page links.
#
# WillPaginate::Collection also assists in rolling out your own pagination
# solutions: see +create+.
#
# If you are writing a library that provides a collection which you would like
# to conform to this API, you don't have to copy these methods over; simply
# make your plugin/gem dependant on this library and do:
#
# require 'will_paginate/collection'
# # WillPaginate::Collection is now available for use
class Collection < Array
attr_reader :current_page, :per_page, :total_entries, :total_pages
# Arguments to the constructor are the current page number, per-page limit
# and the total number of entries. The last argument is optional because it
# is best to do lazy counting; in other words, count *conditionally* after
# populating the collection using the +replace+ method.
def initialize(page, per_page, total = nil)
@current_page = page.to_i
raise InvalidPage.new(page, @current_page) if @current_page < 1
@per_page = per_page.to_i
raise ArgumentError, "`per_page` setting cannot be less than 1 (#{@per_page} given)" if @per_page < 1
self.total_entries = total if total
end
# Just like +new+, but yields the object after instantiation and returns it
# afterwards. This is very useful for manual pagination:
#
# @entries = WillPaginate::Collection.create(1, 10) do |pager|
# result = Post.find(:all, :limit => pager.per_page, :offset => pager.offset)
# # inject the result array into the paginated collection:
# pager.replace(result)
#
# unless pager.total_entries
# # the pager didn't manage to guess the total count, do it manually
# pager.total_entries = Post.count
# end
# end
#
# The possibilities with this are endless. For another example, here is how
# WillPaginate used to define pagination for Array instances:
#
# Array.class_eval do
# def paginate(page = 1, per_page = 15)
# WillPaginate::Collection.create(page, per_page, size) do |pager|
# pager.replace self[pager.offset, pager.per_page].to_a
# end
# end
# end
#
# The Array#paginate API has since then changed, but this still serves as a
# fine example of WillPaginate::Collection usage.
def self.create(page, per_page, total = nil)
pager = new(page, per_page, total)
yield pager
pager
end
# Helper method that is true when someone tries to fetch a page with a
# larger number than the last page. Can be used in combination with flashes
# and redirecting.
def out_of_bounds?
current_page > total_pages
end
# Current offset of the paginated collection. If we're on the first page,
# it is always 0. If we're on the 2nd page and there are 30 entries per page,
# the offset is 30. This property is useful if you want to render ordinals
# side by side with records in the view: simply start with offset + 1.
def offset
(current_page - 1) * per_page
end
# current_page - 1 or nil if there is no previous page
def previous_page
current_page > 1 ? (current_page - 1) : nil
end
# current_page + 1 or nil if there is no next page
def next_page
current_page < total_pages ? (current_page + 1) : nil
end
# sets the total_entries property and calculates total_pages
def total_entries=(number)
@total_entries = number.to_i
@total_pages = (@total_entries / per_page.to_f).ceil
end
# This is a magic wrapper for the original Array#replace method. It serves
# for populating the paginated collection after initialization.
#
# Why magic? Because it tries to guess the total number of entries judging
# by the size of given array. If it is shorter than +per_page+ limit, then we
# know we're on the last page. This trick is very useful for avoiding
# unnecessary hits to the database to do the counting after we fetched the
# data for the current page.
#
# However, after using +replace+ you should always test the value of
# +total_entries+ and set it to a proper value if it's +nil+. See the example
# in +create+.
def replace(array)
result = super
# The collection is shorter then page limit? Rejoice, because
# then we know that we are on the last page!
if total_entries.nil? and length < per_page and (current_page == 1 or length > 0)
self.total_entries = offset + length
end
result
end
