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 …Sort Python list by query param order_by
Sort a list of dataclass objects dynamically by a field name passed as a query param, with asc/desc direction support.
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass
class Item:
name: str
price: int
def sort_items(items, order_by, direction="asc"):
if order_by not in ("name", "price"):
raise ValueError(f"Unsupported sort field: {order_by}")
reverse = direction.lower() == "desc"
return sorted(items, key=l…Browse by section
