This is the best solution to overwrite the per_page value.

def get_items(page, offset=0, per_page=10):
per_page = 50
offset = ((page - 1) * per_page)
return items[offset: offset + per_page]

Hi,
Thanks for such a wonderful presentation of pagination with flask. I am extracting data from Mongodb with post requests and implementing paginiation. It is showing first page (per_page) list on the webpage but not allowing me to make get requests to call the second and third page. If I bypass post request, I am not able to get data from forms. Any idea of handling pagination in this situation?

Hello! This is what I was looking for! But I just have a problem, I don't want to use the get_users() function because I already have a SQLite database in my Flask web application. Any advice on how to acheive this through my database?

EDIT: if anybody is wondering, I fixed it. This is my get_users() function (importing sqlite3 module of course):

def get_users(page=1, total=100, per_page=5):
    offset = total - ((page - 1) * per_page) + 1
    con = sqlite3.connect('database.db')
    cur = con.cursor()
    query = '''SELECT column1, column2
                FROM table
                WHERE entry_id < ?
                ORDER BY entry_id DESC
                LIMIT ?;'''
    cur.execute(query, (offset, per_page))
    users = cur.fetchall()
    cur.close()
    con.close()
    return users

And then I modified a bit the index function:

@app.route('/')
def index():
    con = sqlite3.connect('database.db')
    cur = con.cursor()
    page, per_page, offset = get_page_args(page_parameter='page', # I don't use this offset value at all
                                           per_page_parameter='per_page')
    per_page = 5
    cur.execute("SELECT COUNT(entry_id) FROM history")
    total = cur.fetchone()[0]
    cur.close()
    con.close()
    pagination_users = get_users(page=page, total=total, per_page=per_page)
    pagination = Pagination(page=page, per_page=per_page, total=total)
    return render_template('index.html',
                           users=pagination_users,
                           page=page,
                           per_page=per_page,
                           pagination=pagination)

Hello!

@anaveronicaaponte pointed me to the right direction since I am not using SQLalchemy for my db.
Just sqlite (like the official tutorial).

The only problem I had with the above solution was that the results of the first page weren't visible. I fixed this issue by using the offset value from the get_page_args function inside the query of the get_users function, instead of the calculation :

offset = total - ((page - 1) * per_page) + 1

Dear: the correct way to solve this is like this, it is not necessary to modify anything, I leave the solution in case anyone is interested.

Originally:
page, per_page, offset = get_page_args(page_parameter='page',per_page_parameter='per_page')

Correct:
page, per_page, offset = get_page_args(page_parameter='page',per_page_parameter='per_page',per_page='5')

Best regards
