Implementing pagination

Pagination is an important pattern when working with large and user-generated lists of objects. Pagination divides the content into separate pages and thereby limits the number of objects that must be loaded for a given page. Pagination aims to reduce load times and improve performance.

In this section, we will implement pagination in BeeRich for expenses and invoices:

1. First, open the dashboard.expenses.tsx route module and define a constant for the page size:

   const PAGE_SIZE = 10;

   The page size defines the number of expenses we will show at once in the expenses overview list. To see more expenses, the user has to navigate to the next page.

2. Update the loader function in dashboard.expenses.tsx and access a new search parameter named page:

   const userId = await requireUserId(request);const url = new URL(request.url);const searchString = url.searchParams.get('q');const pageNumberString = url.searchParams.get('page');const pageNumber...
