bookshelf-pagemaker allows you to paginate results from bookshelf.js queries by extending your user defined model with several helper functions and replacing the fetchAll method with a custom paginate method. bookshelf-pagemaker also has built in support for handling express style request objects in order to sort, order, search, limit, and offset your results. In addition to all of these extended methods, the pagination formatting is also customizable based on your requirement. Out of the box bookshelf-pagemaker has pagination configurations for a simple paged pagination, offset pagination, and jQuery datatables pagination.

.page(2)
.paginate()
.end()
.then(function(results) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(results, null, '  '));
});

Express Request with datatables Example

var pm = require('bookshelf-pagemaker')(bookshelf);
 
var User = bookshelf.Model.extend({
    tableName: 'users'
});
 
function getUser(req, res, next) {
    pm(User, 'datatables').forge()
    .paginate({
        request: req
    })
    .end()
    .then(function(results) {
        res.send(results);
        return next();
    });
}
 
server.get('/users', getUser);
...

Using Bookshelf Methods seamlessly

var pm = require('bookshelf-pagemaker')(bookshelf);
 
var User = bookshelf.Model.extend({
    tableName: 'users'
});
 
pm(User).forge()
.limit(2)
.offset(2)
.query(function(qb) {
    qb.where('name', 'LIKE', '%john%');
})
.paginate()
.end()
.then(function(results) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(results, null, '  '));
});

Using transactions

var pm = require('bookshelf-pagemaker')(bookshelf);
 
var User = bookshelf.Model.extend({
    tableName: 'users'
});
 
bookshelf.transaction(function(t) {
    return pm(User).forge()
    .query(function(qb) {
        qb.where('name', 'LIKE', '%john%');
    })
    .paginate({ transacting: t })
    .end();
})
.then(function(results) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(results, null, '  '));
});
