Spring Boot
Configuring, Pagination and Sorting

SPRING BOOT :
CONFIGURING, PAGINATION AND SORTING
• Spring Boot provides convenient features for configuring pagination & sorting in applications.
• These features are often used in web applications to manage large sets of data and present it to users in
smaller, more manageable portions.
• To demonstrate pagination and sorting in Spring Boot users should have basic understanding of Spring
Boot and have already set up a project.
• Pagination is combined with Sorting provides a user-friendly experience.

SPRING BOOT :
CONFIGURING, PAGINATION AND SORTING
STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE
Pagination:
Pagination is the process of dividing data into smaller chunks known as pages
It is used to avoid loading and displaying a large amount of data at once.
1. Add Dependencies
2. Configure Pagination in Repository
3. Use Pagination in Service/Controller

CONFIGURING, PAGINATION AND SORTING
Example: Add Dependencies
Ensure that the necessary dependencies are available in
1. pom.xml (if Maven is used)
or
2. build.gradle (if Gradle is used) file:
For Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
</dependency>
For Gradle:
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa'

CONFIGURING, PAGINATION AND SORTING
Example: Configure Pagination in Repository
In repository interface, Spring Data JPA's Pageable object can be use to enable pagination.
import org.springframework.data.domain.Page;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Pageable;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
public interface YourEntityRepository extends JpaRepository<YourEntity, Long>
{
Page<YourEntity> findAll(Pageable pageable);
}
SPRING BOOT : 7
CONFIGURING, PAGINATION AND SORTING
Example: Use Pagination in Service or Controller
In service or controller, Pageable object can be used to retrieve paginated data.
import org.springframework.data.domain.Page;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Pageable;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
@Service
public class YourEntityService {
private final YourEntityRepository entityRepository;
public YourEntityService(YourEntityRepository entityRepository) {
this.entityRepository = entityRepository;
}
public Page<YourEntity> getAllEntities(Pageable pageable) {
return entityRepository.findAll(pageable);
}
}

Sorting:
Sorting allows you to order the data based on specific criteria
Ascending or Descending order
1. Add Sorting in Repository
2. Use Sorting in Service/Controller
SPRING BOOT : 9
CONFIGURING, PAGINATION AND SORTING
Example: Add Sorting in Repository
To add sorting to the repository, the signature method can be modified to accept a Sort object.
import org.springframework.data.domain.Sort;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
public interface YourEntityRepository extends JpaRepository<YourEntity, Long>
{
List<YourEntity> findAll(Sort sort);
}
SPRING BOOT : 10
CONFIGURING, PAGINATION AND SORTING
Example: Use Sorting in Service or Controller
In the service or controller, the Sort object can be used to retrieve sorted data.
import org.springframework.data.domain.Sort;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
@Service
public class YourEntityService {
private final YourEntityRepository entityRepository;
public YourEntityService(YourEntityRepository entityRepository) {
this.entityRepository = entityRepository;
}
public List<YourEntity> getAllEntitiesSorted(Sort sort) {
return entityRepository.findAll(sort);
}}

STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE
Combined Pagination & Sorting:
You can combine pagination and sorting to get paginated and sorted results.
1. Add combined method in Repository
2. Use combined method in Service/Controller
SPRING BOOT : 12
CONFIGURING, PAGINATION AND SORTING
Example: Add Combined method in Repository
import org.springframework.data.domain.Page;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Pageable;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Sort;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
public interface YourEntityRepository extends JpaRepository<YourEntity, Long> {
Page<YourEntity> findAll(Pageable pageable);
List<YourEntity> findAll(Sort sort);
}
SPRING BOOT : 13
CONFIGURING, PAGINATION AND SORTING
Example: Use Combined Method in Service or Controller
import org.springframework.data.domain.Page;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Pageable;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Sort;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
@Service
public class YourEntityService {
private final YourEntityRepository entityRepository;
public YourEntityService(YourEntityRepository entityRepository) {
this.entityRepository = entityRepository; }
public Page<YourEntity> getAllEntities(Pageable pageable) {
return entityRepository.findAll(pageable); }
public List<YourEntity> getAllEntitiesSorted(Sort sort) {
return entityRepository.findAll(sort); }
}
