Syntax

public class Paginate : ContainerModule, IModule, IModuleList, IList<IModule>

Examples

If your input document is a Razor template for a blog archive, you can use Paginate to get pages of 10 blog posts each. If you have 50 blog posts, the result of the Paginate module will be 5 copies of your input archive template, one for each page. Your configuration file might look something like this:
 Pipelines.Add("Posts",
     ReadFiles("*.md"),
     Markdown(),
     WriteFiles("html")
 );

 Pipelines.Add("Archive",
     ReadFiles("archive.cshtml"),
     Paginate(10,
         Documents("Posts")
     ),
     Razor(),
     WriteFiles(string.Format("archive-{0}.html", @doc["CurrentPage"]))
 );

Remarks

This module forms pages from the output documents of the specified modules. Each input document is cloned for each page and metadata related to the pages, including the sequence of documents for each page, is added to each clone. For example, if you have 2 input documents and the result of paging is 3 pages, this module will output 6 documents. Note that if there are no documents to paginate, this module will still output an empty page without any documents inside the page.

Constructors

Methods

Name Value Summary
Add(IModule) void
Inherited from ContainerModule
Add(IModule[]) void
Adds modules to the list. Any null items in the sequence of modules will be discarded.
Inherited from ContainerModule
Add(string, IModule) void
Adds a module to the list with a specified name.
Inherited from ContainerModule
AsKeyValuePairs() IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, IModule>>
Returns the list as a sequence of key-value pairs with the keys being the module names and the values being the module instances.
Inherited from ContainerModule
Clear() void
Inherited from ContainerModule
Contains(IModule) bool
Inherited from ContainerModule
Contains(string) bool
Determines if the list contains a module with the specified name.
Inherited from ContainerModule
CopyTo(IModule[], int) void
Inherited from ContainerModule
Execute(IReadOnlyList<IDocument>, IExecutionContext) IEnumerable<IDocument>
This should not be called directly, instead call IExecutionContext.Execute() if you need to execute a module from within another module.
GetEnumerator() IEnumerator<IModule>
Inherited from ContainerModule
IndexOf(IModule) int
Inherited from ContainerModule
IndexOf(string) int
Gets the index of the module with the specified name.
Inherited from ContainerModule
Insert(int, IModule) void
Inherited from ContainerModule
Insert(int, IModule[]) void
Inserts modules into the list. Any null items in the sequence of modules will be discarded.
Inherited from ContainerModule
Insert(int, string, IModule) void
Inserts a module into the list with a specified name.
Inherited from ContainerModule
Remove(IModule) bool
Inherited from ContainerModule
Remove(string) bool
Removes a module by name.
Inherited from ContainerModule
RemoveAt(int) void
Inherited from ContainerModule
SkipPages(int) Paginate
Skips a specified number of pages before outputting pages.
TakePages(int) Paginate
Only outputs a specific number of pages.
TryGetValue(string, IModule) bool
Attempts to get a module with the specified name.
Inherited from ContainerModule
Where(DocumentConfig) Paginate
Limits the documents to be paged to those that satisfy the supplied predicate.
WithPageMetadata(string, DocumentConfig) Paginate
Adds the specified metadata to each page index document. This must be performed within the paginate module. If you attempt to process the page index documents from the paginate module after execution, it will "disconnect" metadata for those documents like Wyam.Common.Meta.Keys.NextPage since you're effectivly creating new documents and the ones those keys refer to will be outdated.
