+A Scope & Engine based, clean, powerful, customizable and sophisticated paginator for Rails 3

-* Scope based simple API
+=== Simple scope-based API
Everything is method chainable with less "Hasheritis". You know, that's the Rails 3 way.
-No special collection class or something for the paginated values but uses a general AR::Relation instance. So, of course you can chain any other conditions before or after the paginator scope.

-* Engine based I18n aware customizable helper
-As the whole pagination helper is basically just a collection of links and non-links, Kaminari renders each of them through its own partial template inside the Engine. So, you can easily modify their behaviour or style or whatever by overriding partial templates.

Kaminari supports multiple ORMs (ActiveRecord, Mongoid) and multiple template engines (ERB, Haml).

-The pagination helper outputs the HTML5 <nav> tag by default. Plus, the helper supports the Rails 3 unobtrusive Ajax.

== Usage
=== Query Basics
-* the :page scope
-To fetch the 7th page of the users (per_page = 25 by default)
- User.page(7)
+* the +:page+ scope
-* the :per scope
-To show a lot more users per each page (change the per_page value)
- User.page(7).per(50)
-Note that the :per scope is not directly defined on the models but is just a method defined on the page scope. This is absolutely reasonable because you will never actually use "per_page" without specifying the "page" number.
+ To fetch the 7th page of users (default +per_page+ is 25)
+ User.page(7)
-=== Configuring default per_page value for each model
+* the +:per+ scope
-* paginates_per
-You can specify default per_page value per each model using the following declarative DSL.
- class User < ActiveRecord::Base
- paginates_per 50
- end
+ To show a lot more users per each page (change the +per_page+ value)
+ User.page(7).per(50)
+ Note that the +:per+ scope is not directly defined on the models but is just a method defined on the page scope. This is absolutely reasonable because you will never actually use +per_page+ without specifying the +page+ number.

+* +paginates_per+
+
+ You can specify default +per_page+ value per each model using the following declarative DSL.
+ class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+ paginates_per 50
+ end
+
=== Controllers
-* the page parameter is in params[:page]
-Typically, your controller code will look like this:
- @users = User.order(:name).page params[:page]
+* the page parameter is in <tt>params[:page]</tt>
+ Typically, your controller code will look like this:
+ @users = User.order(:name).page params[:page]
+
=== Views
* the same old helper method
-Just call the "paginate" helper:
- <%= paginate @users %>
-This will render several "?page=N" pagination links surrounded by an HTML5 <nav> tag.
+ Just call the +paginate+ helper:
+ <%= paginate @users %>
+ This will render several <tt>?page=N</tt> pagination links surrounded by an HTML5 <+nav+> tag.
+
=== Helper Options
* specifing the "inner window" size (4 by default)
-This would output something like ... 5 6 7 8 9 ... when 7 is the current page.
- <%= paginate @users, :window => 2 %>
+ This would output something like <tt>... 5 6 7 8 9 ...</tt> when 7 is the current page.
+ <%= paginate @users, :window => 2 %>
+
* specifing the "outer window" size (1 by default)
-This would output something like 1 2 3 4 ...(snip)... 17 18 19 20 while having 20 pages in total.
- <%= paginate @users, :outer_window => 3 %>
-* outer window can be separetely specified by "left", "right" (1 by default)
-This would output something like 1 ...(snip)... 18 19 20 while having 20 pages in total.
- <%= paginate @users, :left => 0, :right => 2 %>
+ This would output something like <tt>1 2 3 4 ...(snip)... 17 18 19 20</tt> while having 20 pages in total.
+ <%= paginate @users, :outer_window => 3 %>
-* extra parameters (:params) for the links
-This would modify each link's url_option. :controller and :action might be the keys in common.
- <%= paginate @users, :params => {:controller => 'foo', :action => 'bar'}
+* outer window can be separetely specified by +left+ +right+ (1 by default)
+ This would output something like <tt>1 ...(snip)... 18 19 20</tt> while having 20 pages in total.
+ <%= paginate @users, :left => 0, :right => 2 %>
+
+* extra parameters (+:params+) for the links
+
+ This would modify each link's +url_option+. +:controller+ and +:action+ might be the keys in common.
+ <%= paginate @users, :params => {:controller => 'foo', :action => 'bar'}
+
* Ajax links (crazy simple, but works perfectly!)
-This would add data-remote="true" to all the links inside.
- <%= paginate @users, :remote => true %>
+ This would add <tt>data-remote="true"</tt> to all the links inside.
+ <%= paginate @users, :remote => true %>
+
=== I18n and labels
The default labels for 'previous', '...' and 'next' are stored in the I18n yaml inside the engine, and rendered through I18n API. You can switch the label value per I18n.locale for your internationalized application.
-Keys and the default values are the following. You can override them by adding to a YAML file in your Rails.root/config/locales directory.
