Paginate

Installation

First of all, you need to install villain-pagination on your local to start.

pip install villain-pagination

Minimal Example

Villain Paginator uses SQLAlchemy ORM.

Let's start with a simple example below. You need to import page and paginator function from villain-pagination.

  • page : is a class which used as response_model in your route declaration.
  • paginator : is main functions that will paginate your data.

To use paginate, 5 params required.

  • db : is a SQLAlchemy session.
  • model : is a object which you want to paginate.
  • order_by : is a column of the model.
  • page : is a number of a page requested to show.
  • size : is a number of data which will shown in one page.

And Here is an example.

from typing import Iterator, Any
from faker import Faker
from fastapi import Depends, FastAPI
from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String, create_engine
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.orm import Session, sessionmaker

from villain-pagination import page, paginator

engine = create_engine("sqlite:///.db", connect_args={"check_same_thread": False})
SessionLocal = sessionmaker(autocommit=True, autoflush=True, bind=engine)

Base = declarative_base(bind=engine)

fake = Faker()

class User(Base):
    __tablename__ = "users"

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True, autoincrement=True)
    name = Column(String, nullable=False)

Base.metadata.create_all()

app = FastAPI()

@app.on_event("startup")
def on_startup() -> None:
    session = SessionLocal()
    session.add_all([User(name=fake.name()) for _ in range(100)])
    session.flush()
    session.close()

def get_db() -> Iterator[Session]:
    db = SessionLocal()
    try:
        yield db
    finally:
        db.close()

@app.get("/users/", response_model=page.Page)
def get_users(db: Session = Depends(get_db)) -> Any:
    return paginator.paginate(db = db, model = User, order_by= User.id, page = 0, size = 10 )
