Cheap Pagination

Uses an API similar classic paginate that was originally in rails. If you have a complex finder or association you need to deal with, you can pass it as a block instead of using options. The pagination concept is based on Jamis Buck's technique for "Poor-man's pagination".

Example

app/controllers/posts_controller.rb

  def index
    paginate :posts, :per_page => 25
  end

  # Got a complex finder or association?
  def index
    paginate :posts do |options|
      @user.posts.find(:all, { :conditions => "published = 1" }.merge(options))
    end
  end

app/views/posts/index.html.erb

  <%= pagination_links %>
