# Pagination & search
This example builds an articles listing endpoint that supports **offset pagination**, **cursor pagination**, **full-text search**, **faceted filtering**, and **sorting** — all from a single `CrudFactory` definition.
## Models
```python title="models.py"
--8<-- "docs_src/examples/pagination_search/models.py"
```
## Schemas
```python title="schemas.py"
--8<-- "docs_src/examples/pagination_search/schemas.py"
```
## Crud
Declare `searchable_fields`, `facet_fields`, and `order_fields` once on [`CrudFactory`](../reference/crud.md#fastapi_toolsets.crud.factory.CrudFactory). All endpoints built from this class share the same defaults and can override them per call.
```python title="crud.py"

```
## Session dependency
```python title="db.py"
--8<-- "docs_src/examples/pagination_search/db.py"
```
!!! info "Deploy a Postgres DB with docker"
```bash
docker run -d --name postgres -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -e POSTGRES_DB=postgres -p 5432:5432 postgres:18-alpine
```
## App
```python title="app.py"
--8<-- "docs_src/examples/pagination_search/app.py"
```
## Routes
### Offset pagination
Best for admin panels or any UI that needs a total item count and numbered pages.
```python title="routes.py:1:36"
--8<-- "docs_src/examples/pagination_search/routes.py:1:36"
```
**Example request**
```
GET /articles/offset?page=2&items_per_page=10&search=fastapi&status=published&order_by=title&order=asc
```
**Example response**
```json
{
"status": "SUCCESS",
"data": [
{ "id": "3f47ac69-...", "title": "FastAPI tips", "status": "published", ... }
],
"pagination": {
"total_count": 42,
"page": 2,
"items_per_page": 10,
"has_more": true
},
"filter_attributes": {
"status": ["archived", "draft", "published"],
"name": ["backend", "frontend", "python"]
}
}
```
`filter_attributes` always reflects the values visible **after** applying the active filters. Use it to populate filter dropdowns on the client.
### Cursor pagination
Best for feeds, infinite scroll, or any high-throughput API where offset performance degrades.
```python title="routes.py:39:59"
--8<-- "docs_src/examples/pagination_search/routes.py:39:59"
```
**Example request**
```
GET /articles/cursor?items_per_page=10&status=published&order_by=created_at&order=desc
```
**Example response**
```json
{
"status": "SUCCESS",
"data": [
{ "id": "3f47ac69-...", "title": "FastAPI tips", "status": "published", ... }
],
"pagination": {
"next_cursor": "eyJ2YWx1ZSI6ICIzZjQ3YWM2OS0uLi4ifQ==",
"prev_cursor": null,
"items_per_page": 10,
"has_more": true
},
"filter_attributes": {
"status": ["published"],
"name": ["backend", "python"]
}
}
```
Pass `next_cursor` as the `cursor` query parameter on the next request to advance to the next page.
## Search behaviour
Both endpoints inherit the same `searchable_fields` declared on `ArticleCrud`:
Search is **case-insensitive** and uses a `LIKE %query%` pattern. Pass a [`SearchConfig`](../reference/crud.md#fastapi_toolsets.crud.search.SearchConfig) instead of a plain string to control case sensitivity or switch to `match_mode="all"` (AND across all fields instead of OR).
```python
from fastapi_toolsets.crud import SearchConfig
# Both title AND body must contain "fastapi"
result = await ArticleCrud.offset_paginate(
session,
search=SearchConfig(query="fastapi", case_sensitive=True, match_mode="all"),
search_fields=[Article.title, Article.body],
)
```
