Add arbitrary params to generated links

[cseelus]

The ability to add arbitrary params similar to will_paginates :params option or Kaminaris option with the same name would be helpful for a number of use cases:

• Automatically navigate to a (Bootstrap) tab or really any HTML section for example when navigating more than one collection per action via HTML anchors (see adding extra parameter to pagination url ? kaminari/kaminari#339)
• Skipping content via HTML anchors (see Best / recommended way to add an anchor to a generated URL #8 (comment))
• Passing search/form params around, when Pagy is used in combination with a search function
• Passing in a controller/action name (see will_paginate or Kaminaris docs)

And what about anchors?
Would something like this work?

pagy(collection, params: {a: 'a'}, anchor: '#your_anchor')

[cseelus]

Yep, I think that would do nicely

[ddnexus]

Consider it done :)

[cseelus]

Awesome!

[ddnexus]

Done. Pushed v0.8.1 to rubygem including this feature.

[cseelus]

That was fast :-)

Thanks for also pushing it to Rubygems, works like a charm

[ddnexus]

@cseelus Glad you enjoyed the fast execution.... but now you owe pagy a step-by-step tutorial about how to get that awesome pagination working! ;)

[gamafranco]

I think you'll be able to get a way with the tags in German, as long as the tutorial looks nice :)

[cseelus]

Haha, did really nothing special one could write much about.

Its just the pagy_nav_bootstrap_compact helper with a few lines of CSS to coerce it into @extend ing Bootstraps btn-outline-dark style (instead of btn-default) and to replace the prev/next buttons text with arrows.

Maybe the README could be improved a little bit, as this friendly gentleman pointed out?

Btw. I opened issues with api-pagination and Pager API to ask about the possibility of supporting Pagy (they only support will_paginate and Kaminiari for now).
Thats the last thing that keeps me from using Pagy in production.

Indeed, that is simple, but a step by step would be very nice.
However I was especially referring to the usage of the :params and :anchor in your little demo, switching from one tab to the other and keeping the state.

Guess I'll have to revive my blog then, after looking into helping with an adapter for Pager API ;-)

@cseelus, let me know if you want to make a guest post to http://blog.imaginarycloud.com/.

I've covered Pagy in the past and we can make a push during lunch help raise awareness.

[gamafranco]

Btw, this is how we got featured on Ruby Weekly :)

[cseelus]

@gamafranco Shure. Just tell me what (deliverables) you need and I'll see what I can do ;-)

[gamafranco]

Thanks. Sent!
