Currently it is not able to paginate the results of the API manually. The
Pagination
trait always iterates over all pages automatically, which is not always desired. I have already created the issue #68.In my case for example, I want to synchronize a custom member list (see this repo interactively via cli command. I want to compare each person and show the differences between the local and the remote data.
The user should be able to exit the comparison. This is why it would be useless to fetch hundreds of data records if only maybe 10 are needed.
The change is very simple. The pagination trait will check if the options contains a specific page. If any is set it will only load this specific page. Otherwise it will fall back to the previois behaviour and iterate over all pages. So backward compatibility is kept ;-)
I am going to add an explanation to the documentation, too. Aferwards I'll update this PR.
