I have a Query that uses offset-style pagination; how to approach?

[shaunatparallel]

I have a Query that takes offset and returns 10 of the object at a given time. Is there a way to use Relay or some other pagniation approach to grab this?

The simple way would just to be a for loop and update the offset number every iteration.

yes, you need to loop, see https://github.com/profusion/sgqlc/blob/master/examples/github/github_agile_dashboard.py#L203-L206

@barbieri thanks for the response. I guess I don't understand how to overlay the Relay approach over the offset.

My Query

itemQuery ( offset: [Int] # Pass in the number of the record that you want to start retieving from. ) { name }

'
The above query just returns 10 items starting from the offset that is passed in. No nodes/edges or a cursor.

Cross-linking during the issue cleanup: the older automatic-pagination request #38 has been closed as stale, with a link back here. An offset-based API without nodes/edges or cursors cannot use Relay cursor pagination directly. Reuse an operation with an offset variable, advance it for each page, and stop using the API's documented termination rule. A generic automatic-pagination helper has not been implemented.
