add first and last page to paginator

[ciro.santilli@…]

Hi,

If it does not exist, add a first/last page method to the Page object returned by django.core.paginator import Paginator,
so that web pages can easily do first/last page links.

If it exists, add it to the docs at:

​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/pagination/#django.core.paginator.Page

[Łukasz Rekucki]

Both the first and last page can be accessed easily through the paginator:

first_page = paginator.page(1)
last_page = paginator.page(paginator.num_pages)

IMHO, there is no need for anything like first_page_number as it's always 1 and page.last_page_number doesn't save much compared to page.paginator.num_pages. But maybe I'm missing something.

Aw, should have read better the tutorial, I hadn't seen that the Page object (which is what is usually passed to templates) has a Paginator field.

In this case, we can just write:

page.paginator.num_pages

for the last page.

So I agree adding more fields to the Page object would be a minor improvement.

This ticket can be closed on my part.
