Re: Paging total being wrong on empty result?

 

Hey Morten,

That kind of depends on how you look at the pages. I guess if there were 0 results it could still mean 1 page but just with 0 results. Since “page” 0 will never exist. 
However if you base the pages of the number of results then i guess it should be page 0 and pageCount 0.

That sounds more like a design decision than something that is wrong however personally i guess i would like page 1/pageCount 1 more than page 0/pageCount 0.

Non the less i agree the total amount should be 0. As now a total of 1 could mean 1 item or 0 items. Which you can only know based on the data returned.

Kind regards,
