alfresco/lists/AlfSortablePaginatedList

This extends the AlfHashList to provide support for common pagination and sorting behaviour. It does not render any interface for controlling the current page or sort preferences - the Paginator widget can be used for changing page and the number of items shown per page. Sorting can be controlled through the SortFieldSelect and SortOrderToggle widgets.

It is important to understand that this widget does not perform any client-side sorting or pagination, it simply controls the payloads published to services - successful pagination and sorting are determined by the ability of the service and the REST API ultimately called to support it.

It is possible to specify the pageSizePreferenceName to be used by this widget (or its descendants) when the PreferenceService is being used to set the intial page size. Alternatively it can be specified by the currentPageSize. Similarly the initial page number can be configured with the currentPage attribute. Page and page size data can also be derived from browser URL hash parameters when useHash is configured to be true.

Page navigation can also be performed with infinite scrolling when useInfiniteScroll is configured to be true and either the [InfiniteScrollService]{@link module:alfresco/services/InfiniteScrollService} is included in the page or the list is placed in an InfiniteScrollArea.

The initial field to sort on can be configured with the sortField and the initial sort direction can configured by setting sortAscending to true or false as appropriate. The sort field and direction can be changed by widgets (such as menus or buttons) publishing on the "ALF_DOCLIST_SORT" topic.

onFiltersUpdated()

Extends the inherited function to ensure that when a new filter is set the page is reset to the first page.
Source:

onItemsPerPageChange(payload)

Handles requests to change the number of items shown for each page of data in the list. When the page size is increased or decreased the current page will be adjusted to attempt to keep the items that the user was looking at in the requested page. This is simple when increasing the page size, but harder when decreasing the page size. When decreasing the page size the page requested will represent the beginning of the larger page size of data, e.g. when going from 50 - 25 items per page, if the user was on page 2 (51-100) then page 3 (51-75) would be requested.
