The Majesty Of Vue.js

By: Alex Kyriakidis, Kostas Maniatis

Overview of this book

<p>Vue.js is a library to build interactive web interfaces. The aim is to provide the benefits of reactive data binding and composable view components with an API that is as simple as possible.</p> <p>This book will teach you how to efficiently implement Vue.js in your projects. It starts with the fundamentals of Vue.js to building large-scale applications. You will find out what components, filters, methods, and computed properties are and how to use them to build robust applications.</p> <p>Further on, you will become familiar with ES6, single file components, module bundlers, and workflow automation. The best way to learn to code is to write it, so there’s an exercise at the end of most of the chapters for you to solve and actually test yourself on what you have learned. You can solve these in order to gain a better understanding of Vue.js.</p> <p>By the end of this book, you will be able to create fast front-end applications and increase the performance of your existing projects with Vue.js integration.</p>

Chapter 11. Pagination

In the previous chapter, we managed to fetch all the records from the database and display them inside a table. That implementation is fine for a bunch of records, but in the real world, when you have to work with thousands or millions of records, you cannot simply fetch them and place them inside an array. If you do so, your browser will not be happy to load such an amount of data, but even if it manages to do that, then I assure you that no user likes dealing with a table containing 100,000 rows.

Note

Pagination is used in some form in almost every web application to divide returned data and display it on multiple pages. Pagination also includes the logic of preparing and displaying the links to the various pages, and it can be handled client-side or server-side. Server-side pagination is more common.

In situations like this, the developers who designed the API will (hopefully) divide the returned data in pages.
