Can I get a dynamic collection based on a number?

Question

I would like to use the "count" of a resource and divide that number. Let's say there are 1.000 items in a resource to divide by 100 to show a list of 10 items.
How would I get a collection to show these 10 items?

Bogdan · Answer

Your resource doesn't have parameters for this?

Using baserow here. In this case the count is 107.Would that be possible to do a divide calculation in baserow parameters?

Sure I could do something like ?size=10 to get 10 results, but the data can grow over time, and so would the number.

Do you want to build pagination based on this?

Oleg Isonen · Answer

you want a non-fixed amount of results per page, but calculated based on total amount of items?

Correct

Oleg Isonen · Answer

This is currently not possible with an expression (I really want it to be able to call any js methods too), but also I would question this as a feature request. I have never seen anyone wanting it for reasons
