Scrivener.Headers

Helpers for paginating API responses with Scrivener and HTTP headers. Implements RFC-5988, the proposed standard for Web linking.

Setup

Add :scrivener_headers to mix.exs:

defp deps do
  [
    # ...
    {:scrivener_headers, "~> 3.2"}
    # ...
  ]
end

Usage

With Scrivener.Headers.paginate/2 we can easily set our pagination headers:

def index(conn, params) do
  page = MyApp.Person
         |> where([p], p.age > 30)
         |> order_by([p], desc: p.age)
         |> preload(:friends)
         |> MyApp.Repo.paginate(params)

  conn
  |> Scrivener.Headers.paginate(page)
  |> render("index.json", people: page.entries)
end

With curl --include we can see our new headers:

$ curl --include 'https://localhost:4000/people?page=5'
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Link: <http://localhost:4000/people?page=1>; rel="first",
  <http://localhost:4000/people?page=30>; rel="last",
  <http://localhost:4000/people?page=6>; rel="next",
  <http://localhost:4000/people?page=4>; rel="prev"
Total: 300
Per-Page: 10

Using Custom Header Names

Override any number of pagination header names by passing opts with a :header_keys keyword list like so:

Screenever.Headers.paginate(page,
  header_keys: [
    total: "total",
    link: "link",
    per_page: "per-page",
    total_pages: "total-pages",
    page_number: "page-number"
  ]
)
