I have just released yesod-paginate[1], a simple Yesod-based subsite library that simplifies somewhat the process of paginating long series of items. The library does not deal with formatting (that is provided by the user as a subsite argument); it merely sets up some URLs that allow users to view items a few at a time. It also provides prevLink and nextLink functions that provide the routes to the next and previous page of items.

Great!

I think it would be nice to be able to choose other representations besides RepHtml.  For example, the same URL could be used for JSON. So, instead of

 getPaginateR :: Int -> Int -> GHandler (Paginate master a) master RepHtml

it could be

 getPaginateR :: Int -> Int -> GHandler (Paginate master rep a) master rep

Only the types change, the implementation remains the same =) and we don't lose any static checking.

Cheers!

Thanks for the suggestion - I've released version 0.1 which includes that change. Alexander Dunlap
