Pagination using numbers instead of cursor

Question

I'm using Symfony 5 with the latest version of api-platform. Running PHP 7.3.

I'm using the graphql api and trying to achieve a number based pagination. In the current documentation only cursor based pagination is explained. OR is there a way to paginate like [1][2][3][4][5] based on the cursor? AFAIK not.

I've also read the ApiPlatform\\Core\\DataProvider\\Pagination class and looked into the getOffset and getLimit functions. So I tried in my query to pass numeric values but it resulted in "Cursor 0 is invalid".

The query:

`before: "0", after: "10"`
query SearchOrders($first: Int!) {
  orders(first: $first, before: "1", after: "10") {
    ...
  }
}

You need to use the master version of API Platform (or to wait for the new release). The page-based pagination has been added in it.

See https://api-platform.com/docs/master/core/graphql/#using-the-page-based-pagination for the documentation.
