SYNOPSIS

use Data::Paginator;
my $pager = Data::Paginator->new(
current_page => 1,
entries_per_page => 10,
total_entries => 100,
);
print "First page: ".$pager->first_page."\n";
print "Last page: ".$pager->last_page."\n";
print "First entry on page: ".$pager->first."\n";
print "Last entry on page: ".$pager->last."\n";

DESCRIPTION

This is yet another pagination module. It only exists because none of the other pager modules are written using Moose. Sometimes there is a Moose feature X MooseX::Storage, in my case X that you need. It's a pain when you can't use it with an existing module. This module aims to be completely compatible with the venerable Data::Page. In fact, it's a pretty blatant copy of Data::Page, lifting code from some of it's methods.

SETS

This module provides behavior compatible with Data::PageSet, allowing you to break your pagination into sets. For example, if you have a large number of pages to show and would like to allow the user to 'jump' X pages at a time, you can set the "pages_per_set" attribute to X and populate the links in your pagination control with the values from "previous_set" and "next_set".

ATTRIBUTES

current_page

The current page. Defaults to 1. If you set this value to to a page number lesser than or greater than the range of the pager, then 1 or the last_page will be returned instead. It is safe to pass this numbers like -1000 or 1000 when there are only 3 pages.

entries_per_page

The number of entries per page, required at instantiation.

last_page

Returns the number of the last page. Lazily computed, so do not set.

next_set

Returns the number of the next set or undefined if there is no next.

pages_per_set

If you have a large number of pages to show and would like to allow the user to 'jump' X pages at a time, you can set the "pages_per_set" attribute to X and populate the links in your pagination control with the values from "previous_set" and "next_set".

previous_set

Returns the set number of the previous set or undefined if there is no previous set.

total_entries

The total number of entries this pager is covering. Required at instantiation.

first

Returns the number of the first entry on the current page.

first_page

Always returns 1.

METHODS

entries_on_this_page

Returns the number of entries on this page.

first_set

Returns 1 if this Paginator has pages_per_set. Otherwise returns undef.

last

Returns the number of the last entry on the current page.

next_page

Returns the page number of the next page if one exists, otherwise returns false.

page_for ($count)

Returns the page number that the $count item appears on. Returns undef if $count is outside the bounds of this Paginator.

previous_page

Returns the page number of the previous page if one exists, otherwise returns undef.

set_for $page

Returns the set number of the specified page. Returns undef if the page exceeds the bounds of the Paginator.

splice

Takes in an arrayref and returns only the values which are on the current page.
