Limit number of elements | Pagination Support

Can an option to be added to how many elements that can be added when using:

• beforebegin
• afterbegin
• beforeend
• afterend

with the option to prepend, append and ignore newer times. When prepend and append the oldest item will be removed when the limit is hit.

Also add the ability to:

• specify an ID range or list of item to display based on a state or variable - if returned IDs are outside the list they will not be displayed
• request multiple times - range or the list of items can be specified as variables
• update specific items at particular indices - IDs can be returned in the response header. IDs not in already present can be ignored, prepended or appended.
• insert specific items at particular indices - IDs of adjacent items can be returned in the response header. If items are not adjacent. new items will not be inserted to prevent double insertion.
• delete specific items at particular indices - IDs can be returned in the response header

FWIW, my demo site finally works. Check out http://sseplaceholder.openfollow.org as an example of the SSE and Pagination experiments I’m doing. When I get close to a real solution for infinite scrolling, I’ll try to put it there, too.

Hi @paxperscientiam -

My original thought at the time was that hx-prev and hx-next would be full URLs. That would take all of the guessing out of arguments and URL formats. For example, if I’ve just called /my-rul?page=2, its response might look something like:

<div hx-prev="/my-url?page=1" hx-next="/my-url?page=3">...</div>

This would work just as well as if I’m using a more “rails-ish” syntax. So, if I’ve just called /page/2, then my responses might be:

<div hx-prev="/page/1" hx-next="/page/3">...</div>

And so on…

With that said, I don’t think this concept went anywhere. It’s interesting, but it didn’t get enough traction to actually make it into code. You could lobby @1cg to advocate for this feature. I think it would be pretty straightforward to do, if it ever does get “blessed.”
