Data::Pageset - Page numbering and page sets

SYNOPSIS

Top

  use Data::Pageset;
  my $page_info = Data::Pageset->new({
    'total_entries'       => $total_entries, 
    'entries_per_page'    => $entries_per_page, 
    # Optional, will use defaults otherwise.
    'current_page'        => $current_page,
    'pages_per_set'       => $pages_per_set,
    'mode'                => 'fixed', # default, or 'slide'
  });

  # General page information
  print "         First page: ", $page_info->first_page, "\n";
  print "          Last page: ", $page_info->last_page, "\n";
  print "          Next page: ", $page_info->next_page, "\n";
  print "      Previous page: ", $page_info->previous_page, "\n";

  # Results on current page
  print "First entry on page: ", $page_info->first, "\n";
  print " Last entry on page: ", $page_info->last, "\n";

  # Can add in the pages per set after the object is created
  $page_info->pages_per_set($pages_per_set);

  # Page set information
  print "First page of previous page set: ",  $page_info->previous_set, "\n";
  print "    First page of next page set: ",  $page_info->next_set, "\n";

  # Print the page numbers of the current set
  foreach my $page (@{$page_info->pages_in_set()}) {
    if($page == $page_info->current_page()) {
      print "<b>$page</b> ";
    } else {
      print "$page ";
    }
  }

DESCRIPTION

Top

The object produced by Data::Pageset can be used to create page navigation, it inherits from Data::Page and has access to all methods from this object.

In addition it also provides methods for dealing with set of pages, so that if there are too many pages you can easily break them into chunks for the user to browse through.

You can even choose to view page numbers in your set in a 'sliding' fassion.

The object can easily be passed to a templating system such as Template Toolkit or be used within a script.

METHODS

Top

new()

  use Data::Pageset;
  my $page_info = Data::Pageset->new({
    'total_entries'       => $total_entries, 
    'entries_per_page'    => $entries_per_page, 
    # Optional, will use defaults otherwise.
    'current_page'        => $current_page,
    'pages_per_set'       => $pages_per_set,
    'mode'                => 'slide', # default fixed
  });

This is the constructor of the object, it requires an anonymous hash containing the 'total_entries', how many data units you have, and the number of 'entries_per_page' to display. Optionally the 'current_page' (defaults to page 1) and pages_per_set (how many pages to display, defaults to 10) can be added.

The mode (which defaults to 'fixed') determins how the paging will work, for example with 10 pages_per_set and the current_page set to 18 you will get the following results:

Fixed:

Pages in set:

11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20

Previous page set:

1

Next page set:

21

Slide:

Pages in set:

14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23

Previous page set:

9

Next page set:

24

You can not change modes once the object is created.

current_page()

  $page_info->current_page($page_num);

This method sets the current_page to the argument supplied, it can also be set in the constructor, but you may want to reuse the object if printing out multiple pages. It will then return the page number once set.

If this method is called without any arguments it returns the current page number.

pages_per_set()

  $page_info->pages_per_set($number_of_pages_per_set);

Calling this method initalises the calculations required to use the paging methods below. The value can also be passed into the constructor method new().

If called without any arguments it will return the current number of pages per set.

previous_set()

  print "Back to previous set which starts at ", $page_info->previous_set(), "\n";

This method returns the page number at the start of the previous page set. undef is return if pages_per_set has not been set.

next_set()

  print "Next set starts at ", $page_info->next_set(), "\n";

This method returns the page number at the start of the next page set. undef is return if pages_per_set has not been set.

pages_in_set()

  foreach my $page_num (@{$page_info->pages_in_set()}) {
    print "Page: $page_num \n";
  }

This method returns an array ref of the the page numbers within the current set. undef is return if pages_per_set has not been set.
