5 - Use Pagination

Previous - Code Diff

Reset the workspace to step 5:

git checkout -f step-5

Pagination

The Document Collection resource described in step 1 supports pagination of the documents list through the _offset and _max parameters:

http://localhost:8080/site/api/documents/?_offset=0&max=10

In this step the app's document list will be extended with pagination using the above parameters and UI Bootstrap's pagination directive.

Code Changes

Dependencies

A dependency to Angular UI Bootstrap is added to the app.

index.html

    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular-ui-bootstrap/1.1.0/ui-bootstrap.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular-ui-bootstrap/1.1.0/ui-bootstrap-tpls.js"></script>

app.js

var contentRestApp = angular.module('contentRestApp', [ 'ngRoute', 'ngResource',
    'ngSanitize', 'ui.bootstrap' ]);

DocumentsService

The DocumentsService is extended with offset and max parameters to enable pagination.

app.js

contentRestApp.factory('DocumentsService', function($resource, apiPrefix) {
  return {
    getList : function(offset, max, query) {
      return $resource(apiPrefix + 'documents/', {
        _offset : offset,
        _max : max,
        _query : query
      }).get();
    },
    getDocumentById : function(uuid) {
      return $resource(apiPrefix + 'documents/' + uuid).get();
    }
  }
});

DocumentsController

The DocumentsController is extended with some management of the various pagination parameters, as well as a pageChanged function to update the list when a different page is selected in the page navigation.

app.js

  if (!$routeParams.uuid) {

    $scope.currentPage = 1;
    $scope.itemsPerPage = 6;
    $scope.query = '';

    $scope.update = function($scope) {
      $scope.offset = ($scope.currentPage - 1) * $scope.itemsPerPage;
      DocumentsService
          .getList($scope.offset, $scope.itemsPerPage, $scope.query).$promise
          .then(function(response) {
            $scope.documents = response;
            $scope.totalItems = $scope.documents['total'];
          });
    }

    $scope.update($scope);

    $scope.pageChanged = function() {
      $scope.update($scope);
    };

    $scope.search = function() {
      $scope.update($scope);
    }

  }

View

A page navigation is added to the documents-list view using UI Bootstrap's uib-pagination directive, bound to the various pagination parameters and the pageChanged function.

documents-list.html

<uib-pagination total-items="totalItems" ng-model="currentPage" items-per-page="itemsPerPage" ng-change="pageChanged()"></uib-pagination>

Experiments

• The itemsPerPage parameter is hardcoded in the app. Can you make it configurable through a dropdown?

Summary

In this step the app's document list view was extended with paging. This concludes the tutorial. If you have any questions or suggestions please use the forum!
