useTable example with Spring Boot

Can you provide a simple example of a Spring Boot API endpoint method that would be used with the useTable hook? Specifically, how should the method properly handle pagination so the client is only getting data for the current page?

Hi @Hypnotic Meat. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- I apologize, but I don't have enough information in the provided knowledge sources to give you a specific example of a Spring Boot API endpoint that would work with the useTable hook in refine. The knowledge sources focus on the client-side implementation of useTable in React and don't contain information about Spring Boot or server-side pagination implementations. However, I can provide some general guidance based on how useTable works on the client side: 1. The useTable hook in refine typically expects the server to handle pagination parameters. 2. Your Spring Boot API endpoint should accept query parameters for: - Page number (often called "current" or "page") - Page size (often called "pageSize" or "limit") 3. The endpoint should return: - The data for the current page - The total number of records (for calculating total pages) 4. On the client side, useTable will typically send these parameters automatically when configured for server-side pagination. For a more detailed and accurate implementation specific to Spring Boot, you would need to consult Spring Boot documentation or resources. The refine documentation focuses on the client-side implementation and assumes a compatible API on the server side. If you need specific guidance on implementing this with refine and Spring Boot together, you might want to check the refine documentation for any backend integration guides, or consider reaching out to the refine community for more specific assistance. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai what exact format should the endpoint return the data and total number of records in?

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the knowledge sources provided, I can give you information about the format that the refine useTable hook expects for the data and total number of records. This information is primarily focused on the client-side expectations, but it can guide you in structuring your Spring Boot API response. According to the Data Provider documentation, the getList method, which is used by useTable, expects the response to have the following format:

{
  data: TData[];
  total: number;
}

{
  data: TData[];
  total: number;
}

Here's a breakdown of what this means: 1. data: This should be an array of records for the current page. Each record in this array represents a row in your table. 2. total: This should be the total number of records across all pages, not just the current page. This is used for calculating the total number of pages and enabling proper pagination. The exact way to return this from your Spring Boot endpoint would depend on how you structure your response, but it should map to this format. For example, your JSON response from the Spring Boot API could look something like this:

{
  "data": [
    { "id": 1, "name": "Product 1" },
    { "id": 2, "name": "Product 2" },
    // ... more records
  ],
  "total": 100
}

{
  "data": [
    { "id": 1, "name": "Product 1" },
    { "id": 2, "name": "Product 2" },
    // ... more records
  ],
  "total": 100
}

It's worth noting that some data providers might expect the total count in different ways. For instance, the documentation mentions that: - REST APIs often use an x-total-count header to provide the total count. - GraphQL APIs might return the count in specific data fields like pageInfo.total. However, for a custom implementation with Spring Boot, returning the data and total in the response body as shown above should work well with refine's useTable hook. Remember to adjust your Spring Boot controller to serialize the response in this format, matching the structure that refine's useTable hook expects. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
