Hello Stanley,

As for the scafolding that is done by dragging an entity to screen, keep in mind that all the magic that happens on the created screen can be achieved by hand. All the components used are either widgets like table records, or stuff from Rich Widgets. Spend some time analysing them and you'll see that there's a lot to learn there :)

About pagination of the data that is coming form your RESTful API. I would try to first understand if that API supports pagination by itself. If it does, you could try to take advantage of that and try to compose a screen that uses RichWidgets blocks and work from there. I can help if you need. If the API itself does not support pagination, I guess that you'll need to go with a local database cache where you save the results. 

Cheers

The RESTful API does not support pagination. Do you have an example of one which supports pagination?

Thanks,
Stanley

Hey, that's not good :(

Check this good example: https://developer.zendesk.com/rest_api/docs/core/introduction#pagination

Thanks.

Good stuff.

You could still paginate if you did a bit of work. There are methods to pull the requested page number, and number of records per page, if you look at the scaffolding-created actions you will see how it works. You could use that to pass to the REST API. You *may* need to inject fake records into the results list before the current page to pad it out, if memory serves.

Thanks for the discussion. I got more than I asked.

The API is internal developed but quite old. If changing it is not possible I will try to get the raw data from database via an extension.
