Instance Method Details

#paginate(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Paginates a static array (extracting a subset of it). The result is a WillPaginate::Collection instance, which is an array with a few more properties about its paginated state.

Parameters:

  • :page - current page, defaults to 1

  • :per_page - limit of items per page, defaults to 30

  • :total_entries - total number of items in the array, defaults to array.length (obviously)

Example:

arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
paged = arr.paginate(:per_page => 2)      #->  ['a', 'b']
paged.total_entries                       #->  5
arr.paginate(:page => 2, :per_page => 2)  #->  ['c', 'd']
arr.paginate(:page => 3, :per_page => 2)  #->  ['e']

This method was originally suggested by Desi McAdam and later proved to be the most useful method of will_paginate library.
