Pagination.EntityFrameworkCore.Extensions

This is a library for List Pagination on Dotnet. Works well with Entity Framework as an extension.

Get Started

Install-Package Pagination.EntityFrameworkCore.Extensions

Sample output on Web API:

{
  "totalItems": 5,
  "currentPage": 2,
  "nextPage": 3,
  "previousPage": 1,
  "totalPages": 3,
  "results": [
    {
      "name": "Mali",
      "id": "0ae45b80-9269-4fa7-86b3-e6b294cba322",
      "dateAdded": "2021-09-26T15:31:14.936849+02:00",
      "lastModifiedDate": "2021-09-26T15:31:14.936849+02:00"
    },
    {
      "name": "South Africa",
      "id": "0ae45b80-9269-4fa7-86b3-e6b494cba13e",
      "dateAdded": "2021-03-15T21:02:03.8421801+00:00",
      "lastModifiedDate": "2021-03-15T21:02:03.8422383+00:00"
    }
  ]
}

How to use:

Support both asynchronous vs synchronous methods, only "Async" at the end of method name will differentiate.

		// Use only Pagination Model
  		public async Task<Pagination<Country>> GetCountriesAsync(int page, int limit)
		{
			var list  = await _dbContext.Countries.Skip((page - 1) * limit).Take(limit).ToListAsync();
			var totalItems  = await _dbContext.Countries.CountAsync();

			return new Pagination<Country>(list, totalItems, page, limit);
		}
		
		// OR use as Entity Framework extension
		
		private async Task<Pagination<Country>> GetAllCountriesAsync(int page, int limit)
		{
			using (var context = new CollegeDbContext())
			{
				return await _dbContext.Countries.AsPaginationAsync(page, limit, sortColumn: "Name", orderByDescending: true);
			}
		}
    
		//OR add filter before pagination
    
    		private async Task<Pagination<Country>> GetAllCountriesAsync(int page, int limit)
		{
			using (var context = new CollegeDbContext())
			{
				return await _dbContext.Countries.Where(x => x.DateAdded > DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.AddDays(-30)).AsPaginationAsync(page, limit, sortColumn: "Name", orderByDescending: true);
			}
		}
    
		//OR with supported filter
    
    		private async Task<Pagination<Country>> GetAllCountriesAsync(int page, int limit, string searchText)
		{
			using (var context = new CollegeDbContext())
			{
				return await _dbContext.Countries.AsPaginationAsync(page, limit, x => x.Name.Contains(searchText), sortColumn: "Name", orderByDescending: true);
			}
		}
    
    

Auto Mapping or Converting Models:

    		//Create a method that will map/convert source model to destination model.
		//This method can also be Async.
		private CountryViewModel ConverCountryToCountryViewModel(Country country)
		{
			return new CountryViewModel
			{
				name = user.Name,
				Id = user.Id
			};
		}
		
		// Use only Pagination Model
  		public async Task<PaginationAuto<Country, CountryViewModel>> GetCountriesAsync(int page, int limit)
		{
			var list  = await _dbContext.Countries.Skip((page - 1) * limit).Take(limit).ToListAsync();
			var totalItems  = await _dbContext.Countries.CountAsync();
  			//Pass 'ConverCountryToCountryViewModel' method that will map/convert source model to destination model 
			return new PaginationAuto<Country, CountryViewModel>(list, totalItems, ConverCountryToCountryViewModel, page, limit);
		}
		
		// OR use as Entity Framework extension
		
		private async Task<PaginationAuto<Country, CountryViewModel>> GetAllCountriesAsync(int page, int limit)
		{
			using (var context = new CollegeDbContext())
			{
				//Pass 'ConverCountryToCountryViewModel' method that will map/convert source model to destination model 
				return await _dbContext.Countries.AsPaginationAsync(page, limit, ConverCountryToCountryViewModel, sortColumn: "Name", orderByDescending: true);
			}
		}
    
		//OR add filter before pagination
    
    		private async Task<PaginationAuto<Country, CountryViewModel>> GetAllCountriesAsync(int page, int limit)
		{
			using (var context = new CollegeDbContext())
			{
				//Pass 'ConverCountryToCountryViewModel' method that will map/convert source model to destination model 
				return await _dbContext.Countries.Where(x => x.DateAdded > DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.AddDays(-30)).AsPaginationAsync(page, limit, ConverCountryToCountryViewModel, sortColumn: "Name", orderByDescending: true);
			}
		}
    
		//OR with supported filter
    
    		private async Task<PaginationAuto<Country, CountryViewModel>> GetAllCountriesAsync(int page, int limit, string searchText)
		{
			using (var context = new CollegeDbContext())
			{
				//Pass 'ConverCountryToCountryViewModel' method that will map/convert source model to destination model 
				return await _dbContext.Countries.AsPaginationAsync(page, limit, x => x.Name.Contains(searchText), ConverCountryToCountryViewModel, sortColumn: "Name", orderByDescending: true);
			}
		}
