Is there an option for this to enable me to pass to it, only the amount of items I wish to display, and pass it a total count value for it to calculate the pagination.

So that for instance, I set pagination to 15, and total to 600. It would provide the pagination for all those pages, but would be given 15 results at a time. As opposed to being given all 600 and it only display the amount it needs.

I am using a restful api on another server which handles getting the paged data, I just need to send it the page and offset, which I can get from the yii pagination as it uses get parameters.

Just trying to logically sequence your problem to reach to the solution:

  1. To create a ActiveDataProvider you usually start with a yii query object. Something like:



$query = Customer::find();


$dataProvider = new ActiveDataProvider([

    'query' => $query,

]);
  1. You wish to set a limit to the number of records returned by dataProvider (let’s say 600) - so you change it to this:



$query = Customer::find();

$query->limit(600);

$dataProvider = new ActiveDataProvider([

    'query' => $query,

]);
  1. You wish to also pass in the pagesize (say 15 rows/page) - change your dataProvider to this



$query = Customer::find();

$query->limit(600);

$dataProvider = new ActiveDataProvider([

    'query' => $query,

    'pagination' => ['pagesize' => 15]

]);

Thanks Kartik, not quite what i was after but ive managed to solve my issue.

This is what i did:




        $model = new RestSupplier();

        

        if(Yii::$app->request->get('page') !== null)

        {

          $page = Yii::$app->request->get('page');

          $perpage = Yii::$app->request->get('per-page');

        }else

        {

          $page = 1;

          $perpage = 10;

        }


        $array = $model->getAll($page,$perpage);

        $count = $model->getcount();


        $pages = new Pagination(['totalCount' => $count,'forcePageParam' => true, 'pageSize' => 10]);


          $provider = new ArrayDataProvider([

              'allModels' => $array,

              'pagination' => false,

          ]);        


         return $this->render('form', [

                 'provider' => $provider,

                 'pages' => $pages,

            ]);

Is there a way to hide the index? which the pagination adds to the url?

You are correct that was my mistake, I thought I was using Active but after reviewing and revising I am using Array :)

Many Thanks
