= AjaxWillPaginate

http://github.com/devpuppy/ajax_will_paginate

An easy-to-use Rails plugin that works with WillPaginate to provide pagination via AJAX.

Unobtrusive JavaScript leaves existing WillPaginate markup alone
Can be applied from JavaScript files or within your Rails templates
Works with jQuery or Prototype.js with an option for Low-Pro

= Example

app/views/items/index.html.erb
<%= ajax_will_paginate_javascript_include_tag %>
...
<%= render :partial => 'items', :object => @Items %>

app/views/items/_items.html.erb

<%= render :partial => 'item', :collection => items %> <%= ajax_will_paginate @Items, :param_name => 'item_page' %>

app/controllers/items_controller.rb
def index
@Items = Item.all.paginate :param_name => 'item_page'
respond_to do |wants|
wants.html
wants.js { ajax_will_paginate 'items', :partial => 'items', :object => @Items }
end
end

= Install

= Configure

= TODO

jQuery option
Low-Pro option
Persistence using Low-Pro and jQuery's .live()
Smart about selectors, not just id's
Unit tests
Automagically pull target selector from params
Callbacks, especially for loading spinner
Selectively copy javascripts with install.rb
Proper Rails 3 will_paginate dependency
