Temporarily disable Kaminari pagination in Spree

Question

I'm making a Spree site that has links for changing the number of products per page including a link for All. The links for a number are easy because I can just pass a :per_page param via the query string and helper methods. However, I can't figure out what I need to pass to either tell Kaminari to not paginate or to temporarily disable Kaminari.

I'm happy for a solution either in Spree or in Kaminari. I would prefer a method other than :per_page = 1000 or some similarly large number.

Spree 0.70.3
Kaminari 0.13.0

Could you pass a querystring parameter and then filter it inside your controller action? For example:

def show
  @products = unless params[:show_all]
    Product.page(params[:page]).per(params[:per_page])
  else
    Product.all
  end
end

I know this doesn't give you a solution in either Spree or Kaminari but it might help to work around the issue. I'd love to know if there was another way built in to the library though.

@parndt Testing shows that this basically works, but Spree sets the equivalent of `@products` deep within its bowels so you have to intercept things in a controller decorator and alter the querystring parameter with `params[:per_page] = Product.count if params[:per_page] == 'all'` – Yogh Jun 06 '12 at 07:07

Unfortunately, just setting it to `Products.all` causes `undefined method 'current_page' for #` because it's expecting a Kaminari object. Looks like modifying the `params[:per_page]` is the only solution. – Amanda Jun 06 '12 at 07:15
@Amanda Sorry, by "basically works" I meant the idea of using querystring parameters, not the specific code in the answer. – Yogh Jun 06 '12 at 07:16

Try this to handle undefined method 'current_page'

=paginate @object if @object  && @object.try(:total_pages)

This is how I've been doing it, since I need the helper methods that kaminari adds to the list of records:

params[:per] = Product.count if params[:per] == 'all'
Product.page(params[:page]).per(params[:per])

This will avoid the undefined method 'current_page' for #<Array:0x007fc6157c16a8> error. (Essentially @Yogh's suggestion in the comments of the other answer.)
