Hey @andyrichardsonn
! First, congratulations, I really appreciate the series, the way you wrote it, and the GIFs :)
Cursor-based pagination with DynamoDB is a topic I have an interest in because I work with it every day. I'd like to know if you have plans to create an NPM package for this method. I've created the dynamodb-cursor-based-pagination and I'm going to use some ideas of your code, like the exhaustQuery and passing documentClient as a parameter.
Tell me if you have plans to transform this into an NPM package, maybe we can work together.
Feel free to use all/any of the code examples 👍 The project you have looks interesting and I'll definitely keep an eye on it!
I think one of the larger challenges with encapsulating pagination into a library is how much variance needs to be considered.
For example, there is some required domain/schema knowledge to be able to construct cursors, users might require (or want to avoid) calculating the hasPreviousPage value, and I'm sure there are a large number of additional edge cases (post-fetch filtering, etc).
It looks like you've already made a tonne of headway so maybe this is/could be a solved problem for those who have less exotic needs and are happy working within the constraints of a library 🚀
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
