Good Explanation of why cursor pagination is superior to offset/limit:

If available in Hex, the package can be installed as:

1. Add ecto_cursor_pagination to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

```elixir
def deps do
  [{:ecto_cursor_pagination, "~> 0.1.1"}]
end
```

2. Ensure ecto_cursor_pagination is started before your application:

```elixir
def application do
  [applications: [:ecto_cursor_pagination]]
end
```

• Configure this application

  • Add to your config/config.exs or each config/env_name.exs:

      config :ecto_cursor_pagination,
        per_page: 15,
        cursor_id: :id
    

def index(conn, params) do
  last_seen_param = Map.get(params, "last_seen_id", "")
  direction_param = Map.get(params, "dir", "")

  query = Todo
          |> filter_by_uuid("user_id", params["user_id"])
          |> filter_by_string("name", params["name"])
          |> filter_by_string("type", params["type"])
  query = Ecto.CursorPagination.paginate(query, last_seen_param, direction_param)

  render(conn, "index.json", data: MyApp.Repo.all(query))
end
