# 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)
=> [#<Pagy:0x00007f59d9cd7190 @count=1000, @from=41, @in=20, @last=50, @limit=20, @next=4, @offset=40, @outset=0, @page=3, @prev=2, @to=60, @vars={:count_args=>[:all], :ends=>true, :limit=>20, :outset=>0, :page=>3, :page_param=>:page, :size=>7, :url=>"http://www.example.com/subdir", :metadata=>[:scaffold_url, :first_url, :prev_url, :page_url, :next_url, :last_url, :count, :page, :limit, :vars, :pages, :last, :in, :from, :to, :prev, :next, :series], :count=>1000}>, [41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60]]

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.
