How to filter a PageRequest in spring - spring

Question

When I make a request about all the news that I have in my database I use a PageRequest like this:
public Page<StatusUpdate> getPageSiteUser(int pageNumber) {
PageRequest request = new PageRequest(pageNumber-1, pageSize, Sort.Direction.DESC, "added");
return statusUpdateDao.findAll(request);
}
And it shows all the news in each page sorted in perfect order.
But now, I want to select the news created by one user, in the same Pageable format (not all the news) and I do not find how to do it, so I must be making a stupid mistake somewhere... it should be something like...
public Page<StatusUpdate> findMyStatusUpdates(Long user_id, int pageNumber) {
PageRequest request = new PageRequest(pageNumber-1, pageSize, Sort.Direction.DESC, "added");
return statusUpdateDao.findAll(request);
}
Please, answer with a link to the the theory if you can. The documentation talks about sorting, not making the actual selection (enter link description here)

Answer 1

You can combine a query, to filter by the user, with a pageable request. The query can be created by Spring based on the method name.
Take a look to the documentation:
Spring data JPA Query creation
Using Pageable, Slice and Sort in query methods
In your case, without seeing your code, I guess you only need to include in your repository a method like:
public interface StatusUpdateRepository extends Repository<StatusUpdate, Long> {
//finBy<column_name>
Page<User> findByUser(Long userId, Pageable pageable);
}

You can also send a PageRequest to an existing filter in your repo. You can create a repository method, filter them according to your business need.
Let's say you would like to find posts by supplying a user, status attributes and then order them by their creation date in descending order.
One might not desire all posts being included in the Page object while sending them to a Pager, before adding to the Model model.
This is simply equivalent to a sql query as such:
select * from Post where user=user and status=status order by createdAt desc
--
public interface BlogRepository extends PagingAndSortingRepository<Post, Long> {
Page<Post> findByUserAndStatusOrderByCreatedAtDesc(PageRequest pageRequest,
User user, boolean status);
}
and in your controller, use its implementation(postService) along with a new PageRequest object like:
Page<Post> filteredPosts = postService.findByUserAndStatusOrderByCreatedAtDesc(PageRequest.of(evalPage, evalPageSize), user, status);
this works fine for 2.x.x; whereas you better use below for 1.x.x
Page<Post> filteredPosts =
postService.findByUserAndStatusOrderByCreatedAtDesc(new PageRequest(evalPage,
evalPageSize), user, status);
This repo guided me up to a certain point on this matter with paging logic etc.
Just had to change from ModelView to Model in the controller's argument and returned String (template's name) instead.
