How to do advanced pagination












1















I'm trying to create pagination logic for my Table component, I'm using antd.



I have a few requirements which are making it quite difficult to implement:




  1. I would like to be able to sort by different columns

  2. Have some kind of cache implemented, currently using the apollo-client

  3. Be able to jump around within the table (Example: should be no problem of going from pages 1 to 500 and then 3)


I have an endpoint that accepts the input object:



{
offset: Int,
limit: Int, # How many records to return starting from the offset defined
...
# Some sorting rules
}


Currently all Table implementation I've found are using some kind of dataSource which always is an array, which is great for a static lists or the endless scrolling effect.



This should have been implemented often before by others, so I would love to hear how others have solved this simple issue?



If you think I should just drop the caching support, how would you even do that when most Table components accept an array?

  • Im not sure I understand the issue.. Why array is a problem? Array is one of core concepts in GraphQL and Apollo client knows how to deal with them.

  • The problem is when using fetchMore I will append the result. So if I go directly to page 3 instead of 2. I will have an datasource array with pageSize * 2. so page 3 will seem empty.

  • Didn't come up with a better solution. So I'm just fetching the current data based on which page the user is on, so if the user goes from page 5 then 100 then back to 5. It will fetch the items on page 5 twice.
