Pass a total into the pagination?

[dmackerman]

Is there a way to pass a "total" number of records into the pagination? I only want to fetch say the first 20 records from my server, and then pass limit and skip options with each click on the pagination buttons using the st-pipe plugin, but I can't figure out how to get all of the page numbers to display by default - based on a total property I get back from my server.

Am I thinking about this wrong perhaps?

Hello, from within the table, you can get access to the table state with the controller method tableState() and then assign numberOfPages to your total number of page
Or better in your case, do it from your custom pipe function

$scope.customPipe=function pipe(tableState){
     //note 'this' in this function is actually bound to the table controller

    var serverquery=transformToQuery(tableState);
    httpService.query(serverquery).then(function(response){
        //assign data
         $scope.rowCollection=response.data;

        //change table state from what tells the server
       tableState.pagination.numberOfPages=response.totalNumberOfPages;   
    });
}

Ah, makes total sense. Will give that a shot! 👍

One thing though, it's seems that tableState in my pipe function only gets triggered on change, not on initial load. Is that expected?
