The array paginator is a function that divides a large array into smaller chunks, allowing you to display only a specific portion (or “page”) of the array at a time. It takes in parameters like the number of items you want per page (per_page) and the current page (page), and returns a portion of the array corresponding to that page.
This is useful if you are working with Redis lists, need to break apart a large dataset into smaller chunks for loops and more.
In addition to the paginated items, it also calculates useful metadata, such as:
• The total number of items in the array.
• The total number of pages.
• The current page.
• The next page (if there is one).
• The previous page (if there is one).
This allows for easier navigation through large datasets by breaking them up into smaller, manageable “pages.”
