NAME

Data::Pageset::Exponential - Page numbering for very large page numbers

VERSION

version v0.3.1

SYNOPSIS

  my $pager = Data::Pageset::Exponential->new(
    total_entries => $total_entries,
    entries_per_page => $per_page,
  );

  $pager->current_page( 1 );

  my $pages = $pager->pages_in_set;

  # Returns
  # [ 1, 2, 3, 10, 20, 30, 100, 200, 300, 1000, 2000, 3000 ]

DESCRIPTION

This is a pager designed for paging through resultsets that contain hundreds if not thousands of pages.

The interface is similar to Data::Pageset with sliding pagesets.

ATTRIBUTES

total_entries

This is the total number of entries.

It is a read/write attribute.

entries_per_page

This is the total number of entries per page. It defaults to 10.

It is a read/write attribute.

first_page

This returns the first page. It defaults to 1.

current_page

This is the current page number. It defaults to the "first_page".

It is a read/write attribute.

exponent_base

This is the base exponent for page sets. It defaults to 10.

exponent_max

This is the maximum exponent for page sets. It defaults to 3, for pages in the thousands.

It should not be greater than

    ceil( log( $total_pages ) / log(10) )

however, larger numbers will increase the size of "pages_in_set".

pages_per_exponent

This is the number of pages per exponent. It defaults to 3.

pages_per_set

This is the maximum number of pages in "pages_in_set". It defaults to

  1 + 2 * ( $pages_per_exponent * ( $exponent_max + 1 ) - 1 )

which for the default values is 23.

This should be an odd number.

This was renamed from "max_pages_per_set" in v0.3.0.

max_pages_per_set

This is a deprecated alias for "pages_per_set".

METHODS

entries_on_this_page

Returns the number of entries on the page.

last_page

Returns the number of the last page.

first

Returns the index of the first entry on the "current_page".

last

Returns the index of the last entry on the "current_page".

previous_page

Returns the number of the previous page.

next_page

Returns the number of the next page.

pages_in_set

Returns an array reference of pages in the page set.

previous_set

This returns the first page number of the previous page set, for the first exponent.

It is added for compatability with Data::Pageset.

next_set

This returns the first page number of the next page set, for the first exponent.

It is added for compatability with Data::Pageset.

KNOWN ISSUES

Differences with Data::Page

This module is intended as a drop-in replacement for Data::Page. However, it is based on a complete rewrite of Data::Page using Moo, rather than extending it. Because of that, it needs to fake @ISA. This may break some applications.

Otherwise, it has the following differences:

  • The attributes have type constraints. Invalid data may throw a fatal error instead of being ignored.

  • Setting the "current_page" to a value outside the "first_page" or "last_page" will return the first or last page, instead of that value.

Differences with Data::Pageset

This module can behave like Data::Pageset in slide mode if the exponent is set to 1:

  my $pager = Data::Pageset::Exponential->new(
    exponent_max       => 1,
    pages_per_exponent => 10,
    pages_per_set      => 10,
  );
