Spring Boot - Pagination and Sorting Project

Pagination is often helpful when we have a large dataset and we want to present it to the user in smaller chunks.
Also, we often need to sort that data by some criteria while paging.

Usage

SortingRepository.java

@Repository
public interface SortingRepository extends PagingAndSortingRepository<Student, Integer>  {

}

StudentService.java

public PaginatedStudentResponse readStudent(Pageable pageable) {
        Page<Student> students = studentRepository.findAll(pageable);
        return PaginatedStudentResponse.builder()
                .numberOfItems(students.getTotalElements()).numberOfPages(students.getTotalPages())
                .studentList(students.getContent())
                .build();

    }

    public List<Student> getAllStudents(Integer pageNo, Integer pageSize, String sortBy)
        {
            Pageable paging = PageRequest.of(pageNo, pageSize, Sort.by(sortBy));
            Page<Student> pageResult = studentRepository.findAll(paging);

            if(pageResult.hasContent()) {
                return pageResult.getContent();
            }
            else
            {
                return new ArrayList<Student>();
            }
        }

    public Student createStudent(Student student) {
        return studentRepository.save(student);
    }

PaginationController.java

    @GetMapping
    public ResponseEntity<List<Student>> getAllStudents(
            @RequestParam(defaultValue = "0") Integer pageNo,
            @RequestParam(defaultValue = "10") Integer pageSize,
            @RequestParam(defaultValue = "id") String sortBy)
    {
        List<Student> list = service.getAllStudents(pageNo, pageSize, sortBy);

        return new ResponseEntity<List<Student>>(list, new HttpHeaders(),HttpStatus.OK);
    }

StudentController.java

@Autowired
    private StudentService studentService;

    @GetMapping("/student/search")
    public ResponseEntity<PaginatedStudentResponse> readStudent(Pageable pageable) {
        return ResponseEntity.ok(studentService.readStudent(pageable));
    }

    @PostMapping("/student")
    public ResponseEntity<Student> createProduct(@RequestBody Student student){
        return ResponseEntity.ok().body(this.studentService.createStudent(student));
    }
