Pagy

3 3,951 5.5 Ruby

🏆 The Best Pagination Ruby Gem 🥇

Project mention: A powerful search feature with what Rails provides out of the box | dev.to | 2023-01-19

The next step was about backporting the templates, adding Pagy gem for handling pagination and creating the controller. I was then able to show the listings with the models, but the filtering was not working.

Project mention: Genics Log #2: Sponsorship from Vercel, Theme updates, Organic Growth and more | dev.to | 2022-06-18

This lead me to spend time messing with jekyll-paginate-v2 and understanding how its pagination works. With some days of effort, I came up with jekyll-auto-authors which completely simplifies the process of paginating author pages!
fast_page

2 240 8.2 Ruby

Blazing fast pagination for ActiveRecord with deferred joins ⚡️

Project mention: We switched to cursor-based pagination | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-08-21

There are ways to mitigate the (although not eliminate) the slowing down of offset/limit pagination in later pages. The technique is called a "deferred join" and it is most effective in MySQL. The basic idea is to paginate as little data as necessary, and then do a self-join to get the rest of the data for a single page.
You can read more about it here: https://aaronfrancis.com/2022/efficient-pagination-using-def... or here https://planetscale.com/blog/fastpage-faster-offset-paginati....
There are libraries for Laravel (https://github.com/hammerstonedev/fast-paginate) and Rails (https://github.com/planetscale/fast_page) as well!
Cursor based pagination is wonderful, but sometimes you're stuck with offset/limit for whatever reason. Might as well make it fast.
