Pagination Helpers

When working with lists, it is often important to page through results. The recommended approaches to working with lists through the API are outlined here.

However, the Cortex SDK makes this quite simple with pagination helpers.

The following examples illustrate how to paginate through a list of c_prescription instances.

For information on how to create custom cortex objects such as the example c_prescription object, see Data Model Setup.

For more information on working with your Cortex Objects, see Cortex Objects.

1. Using the Pagination Helper

This is how an instance of MDPaginationHelper is created and initialized:

// Optionally, custom API parameters (query parameters) can be specified; and the paginator will include those in the queries as well.
JsonObject refills = new JsonObject();
            refills.addProperty("$lt", 5);
            JsonObject where = new JsonObject();
            where.add("c_refills", refills);

//Create the paginator using the
ObjectPaginationHelper paginator = new ContextObjectPaginationHelper("c_prescriptions", 5, null, APIParameterFactory.parametersWithWhere(where, null));


paginator.loadNextPage(new ObjectsListCallback<Prescription>() {
            @Override
            public void call(List<Prescription> results, boolean hasMore, Fault fault) {
                //..
            }
        });

// Optionally, custom API parameters (query parameters) can be specified; and the paginator will include those in the queries as well.
        val refills = JsonObject()
        refills.addProperty("\$lt", 5)
        val where = JsonObject()
        where.add("c_refills", refills)

//Create the paginator using the
        val paginator = ContextObjectPaginationHelper("c_prescriptions", 5, null, APIParameterFactory.parametersWithWhere(where, null))


        paginator.loadNextPage { results, hasMore, fault ->
            //..
        }
