To follow up on my other blog post about Paginating an ActiveResource model and to_xml I figured I should include the client-side code so you can see how to actually use will paginate helpers out of the box to paginate an ActiveResource request.
This is example code from my model:
def self.paginate(*args, &block) options = args.pop page, per_page, total_entries = wp_parse_options(options) WillPaginate::Collection.create(page, per_page, total_entries) do |pager| count_options = options.except :page, :per_page, :total_entries, :finder find_options = count_options.except(:count).update(:offset => pager.offset, :limit => pager.per_page) args << find_options # @options_from_last_find = nil find_results = self.find(*args, &block) pager.replace find_results # magic counting for user convenience: pager.total_entries = find_results.total_entries unless find_results.blank? end end
Example View code:
<%= render :partial => 'list' %> <%= will_paginate(@model)%>
