         **options, &block)

#select_pager(enabled: true, command: nil) ⇒ Object

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Select an appriopriate pager

If the user disabled paging then a NullPager is returned, otherwise a check is performed to find native system command to perform pagination with SystemPager. Finally, if no system command is found, a BasicPager is used which is a pure Ruby implementation known to work on any platform.

Parameters:

  • enabled (Boolean) (defaults to: true) —

    whether or not to allow paging

  • command (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    the command to run if available
