Re : Re: Hello world

Hi all,

I was reading a bit online and stumbled upon this : https://www.w3.org/community/hydra/wiki/Pagination

I don't know if the debate about the best pagination design is over yet, but I personally like the latest approach :

{
 "@id": "http://api.example.com/an-issue/comments?whatever=3",
 "@type": "Collection",
 "first": "/an-issue/comments",
 "previous": "/an-issue/comments?whatever=2",
 "next": "/an-issue/comments?whatever=4",
 "last": "/an-issue/comments?whatever=498",
 "member": [ ... ]
}
I like the simplicity of it. In the "cons" of this approach is said that there is "No way to explicitly link to a specific page. A client would always be expected to fetch the all "pages" of a collection unless it finds the data it was looking for earlier". I then thought of an extra parameter that would allow one to describe the pagination scheme in the URL, in such manner that the client would be able to deduce the way to go to a specific page.

What do you think?

Great to see you here :-)

+1, fantastic work

I actually didn't realize that. Was the talk recorded?

Please keep us posted.

Thanks for the kind words! What we probably need most at the moment is investment in tooling and libraries. So contributions like yours will be critical to the success.
