Pagination

[tonipepperoni]

will this be supported soon?

[phortx]

Currently I have no plans, but PRs are welcome :)

How would you like to have the pagination? As fetch params?

User.fetch({ id: 42 }, { perPage: 8, page: 2}) would be my suggestion. What do you think? :)

[tonipepperoni]

something like that would be cool. i think it would need to return:
total, perPage, page, lastPage
and have different pagination modes depending on type of connection.

I'll see what i can come up with!

[phortx]

Thanks for your answer :)

and have different pagination modes depending on type of connection.

Could you specify what this means?

total, perPage, page, lastPage

I'm thinking about how we could give that meta information to the developer. Currently the fetch action returns a object with the fetched data. We could change that so that fetch returns an object with meta information. I could think about:

• total records fetched
• records perPage
• current page
• lastPage
• query time
• list of fetched records (what fetch returned before)

const meta = await User.fetch(null, { perPage: 8, page: 2}); // null means no filterting
console.log(meta);

{
  records: 7,
  perPage: 8,
  currentPage: 2,
  lastPage: 2,
  queryTime: 86, // ms
  records: {
    users: [ ... ],
    profiles: [ ... ]
  }
}

We could add more information in the future. For consistency I think the other actions should also return this meta object despite there will be no page information.

I'm going to have a need for this shortly. What would be involved in implementing this - just modifying the queryBuilder?

[phortx]

Probably. I didn't looked at pagination in depth, so I can't tell currently.

Also I'm really busy currently and can't implement this.

First step would be to introduce pagination in the test schema and setup some specs so implement against.

Then I think the fetch.ts and maybe the vuex actions have to be modified. After that the queryBuilder.ts and maybe the transformer.ts has to be modified.

[colinfindlay-nz]

I'll have a look and see if we can fit this into our schedule. I also need to be able to return arbitrary data attached to edges - so not sure if this would be a natural extension. Or something we just implement internally.

[phortx]

Fetching of arbitrary data could be possible via model unrelated custom queries: https://vuex-orm.github.io/vuex-orm-graphql/guide/custom-queries/#model-unrelated-simple-query

If someone does impliment this, please make generic to also support:

limit and nextToken - eg. AWS AppSync
