Will Paginate Mongoid
Why use this gem?
Because will_paginate does not support the mongoid skip
and limit
methods.
They just support the paginate
method in the Array
class. What does this mean?
Will_Paginate will find all the objects and then cut out the unneeded ones.
This can cause performance problems when you have a lot of objects.
How I install it?
Add gem "will_paginate_mongoid"
to your Gemfile
and run bundle install
or
Just run gem install will_paginate_mongoid
How it works?
It just creates a paginate
method compatible with will_paginate interface
and adds two additional criteria: skip
and limit
That's it?
Yes. Now you can use the paginate
method just like in the will_paginate documentation
