Sails.Js - How I do pagination in sails.Js

http://sailsjs.org/#/documentation/concepts/ORM/Querylanguage.html

Model.find().paginate({page: 2, limit: 10});Model.find({ where: { name: 'foo' }, limit: 10, skip: 10 });

If you want the pagination to work asynchronously, its very easy to do with JQUERY $$.getJSON and on the server res.json();

Theres a lot of info in waterline and sails docs.

There is also another way.

if you want to fetch data from the front-end, and have turned blueprint on, you can also try:http://yourDomain.com/ModelName?skip=10&limit=10

Reference:1.officer site: http://sailsjs.org/#/documentation/reference/blueprint-api/Find.html

You could build a functional paginator with built-in skip & limit query parameters for blueprint routes:

/api/todos?skip=10&limit=10

With this option, you could have dynamically sized page size according to various device sizes - this option you would provide with limit, which is basically your page size. Multiply (page size - 1) by current page number - voila you've got your skip parameter.

As to how to get the number of all items, I haven't found a built-in way to do it, so I've written a little helper middleware (https://github.com/xtrinch/sails-pagination-middleware) to return the total count in the response JSON this way:

{    "results": [        {            /* result here */        },        {            /* another result here */        }    ],    "totalCount": 80}

All you need to do is install the middleware via npm and add it to your middlewares in http.js.

If you need a fully functional example, I've also got an example to-do app with this sort of pagination on github: https://github.com/xtrinch/vue-sails-todo. It's written with vue, but you should get the idea either case.

Note that this answer requires sails 1.x.
