Auth0 paged-based pagination

💻 Tech

If you’re using go-auth0 and listing resources, you might encounter a List method returning a struct with embedded List struct which provides the following structure:

management_request.go

type List struct {
	Start  int    `json:"start"`
	Limit  int    `json:"limit"`
	Length int    `json:"length"`
	Total  int    `json:"total"`
	Next   string `json:"next"`
}

If so, you need to use what they call page-based pagination.

In the article above, they provided an example way to iterate the resource list using pagination:

for {
	clients, err := m.Client.List(
		context.TODO(),
		management.Page(page),
		management.PerPage(100),
	)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	// Accumulate here the results or check for a specific client.

	// The `HasNext` helper func checks whether
	// the API has informed us that there is
	// more data to retrieve or not.
	if !clients.HasNext() {
		break
	}
	page++
}
