# Pagy::Console

Allows you to test Pagy in an irb with an environment stubbed for you:

Standard pagination requires a: controller, model, view and request object to work i.e. you need an environment. Pagy::Console gives you that environment.

require 'pagy/console'
include Pagy::Console
pagy_extras :array, :metadata, ...

### then you can use it like inside an app
pagy, items = pagy_array((1..1000).to_a, page: 3)

Warning

Avoid using rails console with Pagy::Console.

Use irb instead. However, if you need rails console please ensure you temporarily "unfreeze" the Pagy::DEFAULT hash, in your pagy.rb config file, otherwise you'll receive a "can't modify frozen Hash" exception:

# Pagy::DEFAULT.freeze  ## temporarily comment out this line, don't forget to uncomment when finished!

Now, refer to the instructions in the irb tab.

# Pagy::Console module

The pagy console uses the standalone extra and sets the Pagy::DEFAULT[:url] variable default to "http://www.example.com/subdir" in order to activate the standalone mode.

Include the module in your console window in order to include also the Pagy::Backend and Pagy::Frontend modules.

Simple utility method to save some typing in the console. It will require the extras arguments. For example:

pagy_extras :array, :bootstrap, :support, :headers, ...

You will be able to use any frontend or backend method implemented by pagy and the required extras right away.
