Usage

Install the package:

npm install @aboutbits/react-pagination

There are a variety of entry points from which to import the hooks useQuery, usePagination and useQueryAndPagination:

• For the Next.js router:
  • @aboutbits/react-pagination/next-router
  • @aboutbits/react-pagination/next-router/zod
• For React Router:
  • @aboutbits/react-pagination/react-router
  • @aboutbits/react-pagination/react-router/zod
• For an in-memory router that does not modify the browser history:
  • @aboutbits/react-pagination/in-memory
  • @aboutbits/react-pagination/in-memory/zod

The hooks exported from @aboutbits/react-pagination/*/zod are more convenient when using zod for the validation of the query.

useQueryAndPagination merges the functionality of useQuery and usePagination. Changing the query resets the page, but changing the page does not reset the query.

Some examples follow, but we recommend having a look at the type definitions for more details about the API.

Example usage with Next.js

import { Query } from '@aboutbits/react-pagination/dist/engine'
import { useQueryAndPagination } from '@aboutbits/react-pagination/dist/routers/nextRouter'

const users = ['Alex', 'Simon', 'Natan', 'Nadia', 'Moritz', 'Marie']

const parseSearch = (query: Query) => {
  for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(query)) {
    if (key === 'search' && !Array.isArray(value)) {
      return { search: value }
    }
  }
  return {}
}

export function UserList() {
  const { page, size, query, setQuery, setPage, resetQuery } =
    useQueryAndPagination(parseSearch, { search: '' })

  return (
    <div>
      <input
        value={query.search}
        onChange={(event) => setQuery({ search: event.target.value })}
      />
      <button onClick={() => resetQuery()}>Clear Input</button>
      <select
        value={page}
        onChange={(event) => setPage(parseInt(event.target.value))}
      >
        <option value="0">First Page</option>
        <option value="1">Second Page</option>
      </select>
      <ul>
        {users
          .filter((user) =>
            user.toLowerCase().startsWith(query.search.toLowerCase()),
          )
          .slice(page * size, (page + 1) * size)
          .map((user) => (
            <li key={user}>{user}</li>
          ))}
      </ul>
    </div>
  )
}

Example usage with React Router and zod

import { useQueryAndPagination } from '@aboutbits/react-pagination/dist/zod/routers/reactRouter'
import { z } from 'zod'

const userSchema = z.object({
  name: z.string(),
  // The input to the parser is going to be a string.
  // We try to convert it to a number and default to undefined if the parsing fails.
  // This continues the parsing of the remaining query.
  // Another possibility would be to not catch errors, which would cancel the entire parsing
  // if "age" cannot be converted to a number.
  age: z.string().pipe(z.coerce.number().optional()).catch(undefined),
})

const users = [
  { name: 'Alex', age: 10 },
  { name: 'Simon', age: 24 },
  { name: 'Natan', age: 88 },
  { name: 'Nadia', age: 42 },
  { name: 'Moritz', age: 35 },
  { name: 'Marie', age: 17 },
]

export function UserList() {
  const { page, size, query, setQuery, setPage, resetQuery } =
    useQueryAndPagination:
      userSchema,
      { name: '', age: 0 },
      {
        page: 0,
        size: 4,
      },
    )

  return (
    <div>
      <div>
        Name:
        <input
          value={query.name}
          onChange={(event) => setQuery({ name: event.target.value })}
        />
      </div>
      <div>
        Minimum age:
        <input
          value={query.age}
          onChange={(event) => {
            const value = event.target.value
            const parsed = parseInt(value)
            if (!isNaN(parsed)) {
              setQuery({ age: parsed })
            }
          }}
        />
      </div>
      <button onClick={() => resetQuery()}>Clear Input</button>
      <select
        value={page}
        onChange={(event) => setPage(parseInt(event.target.value))}
      >
        <option value="0">First Page</option>
        <option value="1">Second Page</option>
      </select>
      <ul>
        {users
          .filter(
            (user) =>
              user.name.toLowerCase().startsWith(query.name.toLowerCase()) &&
              user.age >= query.age,
          )
          .slice(page * size, (page + 1) * size)
          .map((user) => (
            <li key={user.name}>{user.name}</li>
          ))}
      </ul>
    </div>
  )
}
