go-cursor-pagination

You can implement cursor-based pagination by generating a reusable package that handles cursor encoding and decoding, provides SQL builder helpers for efficient queries, and includes a generic Page[T] response type for consistent API responses across your Go microservices.

Cursor pagination solves performance and scalability issues associated with offset pagination in high-throughput applications by using encoded cursors instead of row offsets, allowing the database to avoid scanning and discarding previously fetched records.

Yes, cursor-based pagination works with gRPC by including necessary proto additions for page tokens, allowing Go microservices to pass encoded cursor tokens seamlessly between gRPC client and server requests for continuous data fetching.

Generating a reusable cursor pagination package requires the entity name, sort field(s), primary key type, and default page size, which configure the cursor encoding, SQL builder helpers, and generic Page[T] response type for your specific data model.

Yes, cursor pagination is ideal for implementing infinite scrolling in a mobile app feed because it generates backend pagination logic with encoded cursors, allowing the app to fetch new items reliably as the user scrolls down without performance degradation.
