README

This is a simple component for CakePHP 3 which injects pagination information from CakePHP's Paginator into serialized JsonView and XmlView responses.

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require bcrowe/cakephp-api-pagination

Load the plugin in your application's bootstrap.php file:

Plugin::load('BryanCrowe/ApiPagination');

Usage

Make sure your application has been set up to use data views; see the Enabling Data Views in Your Application section of the CakePHP documentation.

Then, load ApiPaginationComponent:

$this->loadComponent('BryanCrowe/ApiPagination.ApiPagination');

Then, go ahead and set your paginated view variable like so:

$this->set('articles', $this->paginate($this->Articles));
$this->set('_serialize', ['articles']);

Note: It is important that your _serialize variable is an array, e.g. ['articles'], so that your pagination information can be set under its own pagination key.

Your JsonView and XmlView responses will now contain the pagination information, and will look something like this:

{
    "articles": ["...", "...", "..."],
    "pagination": {
        "finder": "all",
        "page": 1,
        "current": 20,
        "count": 5000,
        "perPage": 20,
        "prevPage": false,
        "nextPage": true,
        "pageCount": 250,
        "sort": null,
        "direction": false,
        "limit": null,
        "sortDefault": false,
        "directionDefault": false
    }
}

Configuring the Pagination Output

ApiPagination has three keys for configuration: key, aliases, and visible.

key allows you to change the name of the pagination key.
aliases allows you to change names of the pagination detail keys.
visible allows you to set which pagination keys will be exposed in the response. Note: Whenever setting a key's visibility, make sure to use the aliased name if you've given it one.

An example using all these configuration keys:

$this->loadComponent('BryanCrowe/ApiPagination.ApiPagination', [
    'key' => 'paging',
    'aliases' => [
        'page' => 'currentPage',
        'current' => 'resultCount'
    ],
    'visible' => [
        'currentPage',
        'resultCount',
        'prevPage',
        'nextPage'
    ]
]);

This configuration would yield:

{
    "articles": ["...", "...", "..."],
    "paging": {
        "prevPage": false,
        "nextPage": true,
        "currentPage": 1,
        "resultCount": 20
    }
}
