paginate

Fast pagination, filtering, sorting, and search with one Rust core and native Python & TypeScript packages that return byte-for-byte identical results.

:::tip Try it live The Playground runs the real Rust engine in your browser (compiled to WebAssembly) — filter, sort, search, and the cursor codec, with no install. :::

Packages

Language	Package	Install	Reference
Python	pypaginate	pip install pypaginate	Python guide
TypeScript / Node	@cyblow/paginate	npm i @cyblow/paginate	TypeScript guide
Rust	paginate-core	cargo add paginate-core	Rust core · docs.rs

Choose your path

• 🐍 Python — paginate(), one-shot filter/sort/search, the resident Dataset, and SQLAlchemy / Django / FastAPI integrations.
• 🟦 JavaScript / TypeScript — the same surface, plus Express / Prisma / Drizzle adapters and the portable cursor codec.
• 🦀 Rust core — embed the engine directly, or read how it works.

Core ideas

These apply to every language — read them once:

• Why paginate? — what problem it solves and when to reach for it.
• Choosing a package — which install fits your stack.
• Architecture — the fat-core / thin-adapter design.
• Cross-language parity — why results and cursors match exactly.
• Pagination models — offset vs. keyset (cursor).

Shared reference

The spec vocabulary is defined once in the core and is identical in every language:

• Filtering & operators — the 20 operators and boolean groups.
• Sorting semantics — stability, direction, and null placement.
• Search & ranking — match modes, trigram fuzzy scoring, weights.
