michaelmccabe / pagination-test Goto Github PK

Ok, there's not much to Revenue Calculator. Once the algorithm was worked out, a single unit test was all I added.

It wasn't specified what kind of application to build so to demonstrate the pagination, I put together a very light weight Spring Boot app.
The Documents are read in from a flat text file.
The returned results can be accessed by running the spring boot app, after a maven build and going to 
http://localhost:8080/documents?page=6&pageSize=4 
Vary page and pageSize as appropriate

The Service getDocumentSearchResult method calculates the total number of pages, total number of results and finds first result to go to.
The error conditions of pageSize and page being out of bounds is also accounted for
When there is no PreviousPage or NextPage, it is returned as "-"

Notes:
I used spring-boot-starter-hateoas for only he request mapping but of course it can add a lot more to a RESTful API, including adding
the href dynamically.
Also, the pagination itself would usually be carried out over the datasource - again frameworks like Spring Data/Hibernate can do this 
for you or in JDBC you'd query for the page in the SQL request
