SQLPage

Python library to easily add pagination on top of DB queries. Supports SQLAlchemy and SQLModel ORMs. This returns a base64 encoded string that can be used to paginate through the results.

Usage

Install the latest version from PyPi

pip install sqlpage

Now configure your ORM and then simply call the paginate function to get the paginated results.

result: PageData = paginate(session, query, page_size=page_size)

Configuring with ORMs

Before using the paginate function, you need to configure the ORM. As SQLAlchemy and SQLModel uses different ORMs, you need to configure them separately. This is a one-time setup and you would have already taken this while configuring the ORM when creating the DB models.

SQLAlchemy

Create your table model

Base = declarative_base()

class User(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'user'

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    username = Column(String)
    email = Column(String)

Then create a DB session and call

engine = create_engine(f"sqlite:///{DATABASE_NAME}", echo=False)
Base.metadata.create_all(engine)

SessionSqlAlchemy = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
session = SessionSqlAlchemy()

query = session.query(TestTable)

result: PageData = paginate(session, query, page_size=100)

SQLModel

Create your table model

class User(SQLModel, table=True):
    __tablename__ = 'user'

    id: int = Field(primary_key=True)
    username: str = Field(default=None)
    email: str = Field(default=None)

Then create a DB session and call

engine = create_engine(f"sqlite:///{DATABASE_NAME}", echo=False)
Base.metadata.create_all(engine)

with Session(engine) as session:

    query = session.query(TestTable)

    result: PageData = paginate(session, query, page_size=100)
