Question

I am trying to do a “Twitter like” pagination with a “More” button to load results with Kaminari.

I found this question here

But I can’t figure out how to make it works and if it’s a good approach.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Do you mean you need a “more” button? How about creating a helper like this?

# usage: 
#   link_to_next_page(@items)
#   link_to_next_page(@items, :remote => true)  # Ajax
def link_to_next_page(scope, name, options = {}, &block)
  param_name = options.delete(:param_name) || Kaminari.config.param_name
  link_to_unless scope.last_page?, name, {param_name => (scope.current_page + 1)}, options.merge(:rel => 'next') do
    block.call if block
  end
end

I’m ready to include this kind of helper methods to the gem if you find it useful, so please let me know what you think. Thanks!
