Sequelize Cursor Pagination

Sequelize model decorator which provides cursor based pagination queries. Some motivation and background.

Install

yarn add sequelize-cursor-pagination

How to use

Define a sequelize model:

// ...
const withPagination = require('sequelize-cursor-pagination');

const Counter = sequelize.define('counter', {
  id: { type:  Sequelize.INTEGER, primaryKey: true, autoIncrement: true },
  value: Sequelize.INTEGER,
});

const options = {
  methodName: 'paginate',
  primaryKey: 'id',
};

withPagination(options)(Counter);

The withPagination function has the following options:

• methodName, the name of the pagination method. The default value is paginate.
• primaryKey, the primary key field of the model. The default value is id.

Call the paginate (default method name) method:

// ...
Counter.paginate({ 
  where: { value: { $gt: 2 } },
  limit: 10,
});

The paginate method returns an object with following properties:

• results, the results of the query
• cursors, object containing the cursors' related data
  • cursors.before, the first record in the result serialized
  • cursors.after, the last record in the result serialized
  • cursors.hasNext, true or false depending on whether there are records after the after cursor
  • cursors.hasPrevious, true or false depending on whether there are records before the before cursor

The paginate method has the following options:

• where, the query applied to findAll call
• include, applied to findAll for eager loading
• limit, limit the number of records returned
• desc, whether to sort in descending order. The default value is false.
• before, the before cursor
• after, the after curosr
• paginationField, the field to be used for the pagination. The default value is the primaryKeyField option value.
