How to Paginate a List with a Generator in Python
Define a generator that yields list items in fixed-size pages, simulating pagination for cloud resource APIs.
from typing import List, Iterator
def paginate_generator(items: List[str], page_size: int = 3) -> Iterator[List[str]]:
"""Yield items in fixed-size chunks with a mock pagination pattern."""
for i in range(0, len(items), page_size):
yield items[i:i + page_size]
if __name__ == "__main__":
resources…How to Add HATEOAS Links to a Python API Response
Build a Python API resource class that adds self and next HATEOAS links to JSON responses, with a mock example for pagination.
import json
class Resource:
def __init__(self, name, data, next_page=None):
self.links = {"self": f"/api/resources/{name}"}
if next_page is not None:
self.links["next"] = f"/api/resources?page={next_page}"
self.data = data
def to_dict(self):
return {"links": self.…How to Build a Simple Filter Helper in Python for API Design
Create a reusable data filter service with dataclasses that mimics gRPC request/response patterns for filtering dataset records.
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from typing import List, Optional, Dict, Any
@dataclass
class FilterRequest:
"""A simple filter request mirroring a gRPC message structure."""
field_name: str
operator: str # eq, ne, gt, lt, contains
value: Any
page_size: int = 10
page_token: Optional…How to Implement Pagination with Offset and Limit in Python
A mock API pagination pattern that parses page and per_page query parameters, computes offset and limit, and slices a list of items for a specific page.
def paginate(items, page, per_page):
offset = (page - 1) * per_page
return items[offset:offset + per_page]
def parse_query_params(query_string):
params = {}
if query_string:
for pair in query_string.split("&"):
key, value = pair.split("=")
params[key] = value
page …How to Iterate Redis Keys with SCAN in Python
Iterate all Redis keys matching a pattern using the SCAN command with a mock client to simulate pagination.
import redis
def scan_keys(client, pattern="*", count=10):
keys = []
cursor = 0
while True:
cursor, batch = client.scan(cursor=cursor, match=pattern, count=count)
keys.extend(batch)
if cursor == 0:
break
return keys
