Infinite scroll with cursor pagination? Any workaround?

Questions and Answers
1

I have an infinite loading list of people sorted alphabetically and I can directly jump to names starting with a specific letter. But then, I can’t load more people because I don’t know my current offset.

Do you know any workaround?

You should be able to store the offset on the client side, the default is:

  • Start: 0
  • Limit: 100

And you can modify these at the parameter level. Say you wanted to start at 0 with a limit of 10:

example.com/model?_limit=10&_start=0

You can then store that start on the client and when the scroll limit is reached make another call such as:

example.com/model?_limit=10&_start=10
example.com/model?_limit=10&_start=20
example.com/model?_limit=10&_start=30
etc

This is how most inf scroll options work (such as reddit)
