Paginator
====================
[](https://travis-ci.org/magiclen/paginator)
This crate is used for generating pagination bar on webpages or other UIs.
## Examples
##### Creating a Pagination Bar Which Has 5 Pages and Is on Page 1
```rust
extern crate paginator;
use paginator::{Paginator, PageItem};
use core::fmt::Write;
let paginator = Paginator::builder(5).current_page(1).build_paginator().unwrap();
let mut html = String::new();
for page_item in paginator.paginate() {
match page_item {
PageItem::Prev(page) => {
html.write_fmt(format_args!("<li><a href=\"/page/{page}\"><i class=\"fas fa-angle-left\"></i></a></li>", page = page)).unwrap();
}
PageItem::Page(page) => {
html.write_fmt(format_args!("<li><a href=\"/page/{page}\">{page}</a></li>", page = page)).unwrap();
}
PageItem::CurrentPage(page) => {
html.write_fmt(format_args!("<li>{page}</li>", page = page)).unwrap();
}
PageItem::Ignore => {
html.push_str("<li>...</li>");
}
PageItem::Next(page) => {
html.write_fmt(format_args!("<li><a href=\"/page/{page}\"><i class=\"fas fa-angle-right\"></i></a></li>", page = page)).unwrap();
}
}
}
```
##### Creating Pagination Bars Which Has 2 Pages for Different Current Pages
```rust
extern crate paginator;
use paginator::{Paginator, PageItem};
let mut paginator_iter = Paginator::builder(2).build_paginator_iter().unwrap();
for page_item in paginator_iter.next().unwrap().paginate() {
// current_page == 1
}
for page_item in paginator_iter.next().unwrap().paginate() {
// current_page == 2
}
```
## Pagination Rules
Before building up a `Paginator`, there is an important option, `max_item_count`, can be set via `PaginatorBuilder`. This option can limit the count of items on the pagination bar. This crate **ignores** page items far away from the current page item to stick to the count limit of items. The first/last n items can be additionally reserved.
Look at the following code for more details.
```rust
extern crate paginator;
use paginator::{Paginator, page_items_to_string};
let mut p = Paginator::builder(8).max_item_count(9).start_size(1).end_size(1).build_paginator_iter().unwrap();
assert_eq!("1* 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 >", page_items_to_string(p.next().unwrap().paginate().as_slice()));
assert_eq!("< 1 2* 3 4 5 ... 8 >", page_items_to_string(p.next().unwrap().paginate().as_slice()));
assert_eq!("< 1 2 3* 4 5 ... 8 >", page_items_to_string(p.next().unwrap().paginate().as_slice()));
assert_eq!("< 1 2 3 4* 5 ... 8 >", page_items_to_string(p.next().unwrap().paginate().as_slice()));
assert_eq!("< 1 ... 4 5* 6 7 8 >", page_items_to_string(p.next().unwrap().paginate().as_slice()));
assert_eq!("< 1 ... 4 5 6* 7 8 >", page_items_to_string(p.next().unwrap().paginate().as_slice()));
assert_eq!("< 1 ... 4 5 6 7* 8 >", page_items_to_string(p.next().unwrap().paginate().as_slice()));
assert_eq!("< 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8*", page_items_to_string(p.next().unwrap().paginate().as_slice()));
```
