PaginatedList<E> class

PaginatedList class is an extension on the list class that allows for easier data manipulation and work with paginated data.

The PaginatedList class requires a list of data and a pageSize integer which will allow the list to be separated into multiple pages.

If the number of total items is known in advance, it can be specified as the totalCount parameter.

The isLoading parameter represents whether the data is loading or has loaded. This can be useful when building ui-related refresh states.

If an error occurs while using the paginated list, it can be stored inside the error parameter. Usually you would store any data fetching or related errors.

The number of loaded pages can be accessed any time by referring to the pageNumber value. Please note, that the number of pages is affected by the actual length of the list and the pageSize.

Unlike the length of the list which is the actual number of items in the list, the itemCount represents the number of items that should be rendered on screen. The itemCount is equal to length, unless the next page is loading. Then, the itemCount also accounts for the loading widget at the bottom of the list in case there are more items to be loaded.

In order to tell whether there is a next page to be loaded, hasNextPage can be used for that case.

Getters isInitialLoading and isNextPageLoading reflect the current loading state of the list. If there is no data and isLoading is true, the getter isInitialLoading will return true. Similarly, if isLoading is true and we can load a new page, the getter isNextPageLoading will return true.
