Summary
  • cursor becomes before_cursor
  • add after_cursor for querying runs after a cursor
  • add ascending. defaults to False.
runs = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
get_runs(before_cursor=3) = [2,1] # existing behavior
get_runs(before_cursor=6, limit=1) = [5] # existing behavior
get_runs(before_cursor=6, limit=1, ascending=True) = [1]
get_runs(before_cursor=6, after_cursor=3) = [5,4]
get_runs(after_cursor=1, limit=2) = [6,5]
get_runs(after_cursor=1, ascending=True, limit=2) = [2,3] # this will be used most of the time for after cursor)

Goal here seems very reasonable. Question for you and other reviewers - Would adding an ascending=True/False flag be another way to deal with this? (i.e. the same cursor could be either a before_cursor or after_cursor depending on the order that you want the results)?

The benefit of that that I can see is that after this diff there's still no way to get the first N elements after a cursor (you can only get the *last* N elements after a cursor, or between two cursors). But if you're paginating through a list going forwards with an after_cursor, you probably want the first N not the last N right? And an ascending flag would accomplish that.

(And most of the time you want to set a limit when paginating with a cursor I think, or you can get an unbounded number of results)

to make sure im understanding it correctly, say we have runs = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] and we will get:
get_runs(cursor=5, ascending=True, limit=2) = [6,7] where cursor is an after cursor
get_runs(cursor=5, ascending=False, limit=2) = [2,1] where cursor is a before cursor

my reservation is the ascending + cursor combined logic could be confusing. how about adding both of them and deprecate cursor to rename to before_cursor? so we'll have get_runs(filters=None, before_cursor=None, limit=None, after_cursor=None, ascending=False, cursor=None) which is similar to what we've done in D6234

That would work too - the most important thing to me is that you’re able to
paginate in a forwards direction with a limit

cursor -> before_cursor
+ ascending=False

I think this looks good!
