merb_paginate

Pagination that relies on the awesomeness that is the will_paginate gem. http://errtheblog.com/posts/56-im-paginating-again

Lots of credit goes to those dudes. It's a fantastic plugin, it just is too rails centric to use with merb out of the box. A lot of things had to be changed to not rely on the magicness of rails (which is why it's not a fork of the project).

This merb plugin is very incomplete and has no specs (Hint: contribute!).

Install

git clone git://github.com/myobie/merb_paginate.git cd merb_paginate sudo rake install

Example App

An example app is now included in the example folder. It comes with a sqlite3 database that has some posts already in it. I am not sure if the db is cross- platform, let me know.

Usage

Using this plugin is like so in init.rb:

Merb::BootLoader.after_app_loads do dependency 'merb_paginate' end

Right now, DataMapper and ActiveRecord work (Sequel might work, let me know). I hope to have a fully speced paginate finder for each orm evenutally. (Hint: contribute!)

Using the view helper is like so:

<%= merb_paginate @posts %>

If you need to generate a more complex url you will need to do:

<%= merb_paginate @comments, :named_route => :post_comments %>

It is almost exactly like will_paginate, except not as smart about the current collection.

There are also:

<% paginated_section @posts do %> ... <% end %>

and:

<%= page_entries_info @posts %>
