Add support for direct Skip and Take?

[hfirst]

The current paging the way it uses page and pagesize is very limiting. The grids I use with infinite virtual scrolling don't have the concept of a 'page'. Just startindex and buffersize. Could you please add a way to directly set these? IMO it's more flexible and also still allows for paging instead of having the math for paging buried inside Gridify. There's a reason LINQ has skip and take and not page and pagesize.

hi @hfirst,
I'm planning to improve these features for v3 but you can add your custom implementation to support your needs:
e.g

public interface ICustomGridifyQuery : IGridifyFiltering, IGridifyOrdering
{
	public int Skip { get; set; }
	public int Take { get; set; }
}
public class CustomGridifyQuery : ICustomGridifyQuery
{
	public string Filter { get; set; }
	public string OrderBy { get; set; }
	public int Skip {get; set;}
	public int Take {get; set;}
}


public static class MyExtensions
{
	public static Paging<T> Gridify<T>(this IQueryable<T> query, ICustomGridifyQuery? customGridifyQuery, IGridifyMapper<T>? mapper = null)
	{
		query = query.ApplyFiltering(customGridifyQuery, mapper);
		int count = query.Count();
		query = query.ApplyOrdering(customGridifyQuery, mapper);
		query = query.Skip(customGridifyQuery.Skip).Take(customGridifyQuery.Take);
		return new Paging<T>(count, query.ToList());
	}
}

then all you need to do is to use your CustomGridifyQuery class instead
