[![Deps Status](https://beta.hexfaktor.org/badge/all/github/Nebo15/ecto_paging.svg)](https://beta.hexfaktor.org/github/Nebo15/ecto_paging) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/Nebo15/ecto_paging.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/Nebo15/ecto_paging) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/Nebo15/ecto_paging/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/Nebo15/ecto_paging?branch=master)

This module provides a easy way to apply cursor-based pagination to your Ecto Queries.

## Usage:

  1. Add macro to your repo

     ```elixir
     defmodule MyRepo do
        use Ecto.Repo, otp_app: :my_app
        use Ecto.Paging.Repo # This string adds `paginate/2` and `page/3` methods.
      end
     ```

  2. Paginate!

     ```elixir
     query = from p in Ecto.Paging.Schema

     {res, next_paging} = query
     |> Ecto.Paging.TestRepo.page(%Ecto.Paging{limit: 150})
     ```

## Limitations:

  * Right now it works only with schemas that have `:inserted_at` field with auto-generated value.
  * You need to be careful with order-by's in your queries, since this feature is not tested yet.
  * It doesn't construct `has_more` and `size` counts in `paginate` struct (TODO: add this helpers).
  * When both `starting_after` and `ending_before` is set, only `starting_after` is used.

## Installation

  1. Add `ecto_paging` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
  
     ```elixir
     def deps do
       [{:ecto_paging, "~> 0.8.1"}]
     end
     ```

  2. Ensure `ecto_paging` is started before your application:

     ```elixir
     def application do
       [applications: [:ecto_paging]]
     end
     ```
