Flask Rest Paginate

A Pagination Extension for Flask RESTful.

Installation

Install the extension using

pip install flask-rest-paginate

Usage

In your app, add the extension as follows

from flask import Flask
from flask_restful import Api
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
from flask_rest_paginate import Pagination

app = Flask(__name__)

app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = "sqlite:///paginate-test.db"
db = SQLAlchemy(app)

pagination = Pagination(app, db)

Use in your project as

pagination.paginate(AuthorModel, author_schema)

You can also pass the sqlalchemy query object as

pagination.paginate(AuthorModel.query.filter_by(id=author_id), author_schema)

If you want to use marshmallow schemas then set the third param True

pagination.paginate(AuthorModel, marshamllow_author_schema, True)

Customize your pagination schema

If you want create a custom pagination schema. You should pass pagination_schema_hook and return a Dict with you custom schema

res = pagination.paginate(
                AuthorModel,
                schema,
                True,
                pagination_schema_hook=lambda current_page, page_obj: {
                    "next": page_obj.has_next,
                    "prev": page_obj.has_prev,
                    "current": current_page,
                    "pages": page_obj.pages,
                    "per_page": page_obj.per_page,
                    "total": page_obj.total,
                },
            )

You can also customize key names where data and pagination info are placed, setting the configuration variables:

app.config['PAGINATE_PAGINATION_OBJECT_KEY'] = "page_info"
app.config['PAGINATE_DATA_OBJECT_KEY'] = "results"

...

{
    "page_info": {
        "currentPage": 1,
        "hasNext": false,
        "hasPrev": false,
        "pages": 1,
        "size": 20,
        "totalElements": 2
    }
    "results": {
        ...
    }
}

Furthermore, pagination info can be moved directly to the root of the result object:

app.config['PAGINATE_PAGINATION_OBJECT_KEY'] = None
app.config['PAGINATE_DATA_OBJECT_KEY'] = "results"

...

{
    "currentPage": 1,
    "hasNext": false,
    "hasPrev": false,
    "pages": 1,
    "size": 20,
    "totalElements": 2
    "results": {
        ...
    }
}
