Tree.

paginate(tree, [size])

This returns a new tree that groups the original keys and values into “pages”: fixed-size sets of items that are no bigger than size (default: 10). A typical use for this is breaking a long list of blog posts, search results, etc., into multiple web pages.

$ cat countries.yaml
- name: France
  flag: 🇫🇷
- name: Greece
  flag: 🇬🇷
- name: Italy
  flag: 🇮🇹
- name: Portugal
  flag: 🇵🇹
- name: Spain
  flag: 🇪🇸

The above set of countries can be broken into pages of (up to) 3 items each:

$ ori Tree.paginate countries.yaml, 3
"1":
  items:
    - name: France
      flag: 🇫🇷
    - name: Greece
      flag: 🇬🇷
    - name: Italy
      flag: 🇮🇹
  nextPage: 2
  pageCount: 2
  pageNumber: 1
  previousPage: null
"2":
  items:
    "3":
      name: Portugal
      flag: 🇵🇹
    "4":
      name: Spain
      flag: 🇪🇸
  nextPage: null
  pageCount: 2
  pageNumber: 2
  previousPage: 1

Each page includes:

  • items: the items assigned to this page
  • nextPage: the number of the next page, or null for the last page
  • pageCount: the total number of pages
  • pageNumber: the number assign to this page, starting with 1
  • previousPage: the number of the previous page, or null for the first page
