@ignasi35 @TimMoore @renatocaval @marcospereira this is ready for some review. Let me know if there's anyone in particular you'd like me to solicit feedback from.

Thanks!

This is pretty low, but I wanted the pagination features to be easily demonstrable. Let me know if you think another value is more appropriate.

I believe the java app defaults this to true, however, I've seen no traces of instructions in the scala implementation. Do we want to show the instructions?

[ryanhanks]

@ignasi35 can you help me get this through? Anything in particular we need to see changed to get this across the finish line?

[ryanhanks]

Would a test of some kind help?

Hi @ignasi35 @TimMoore @renatocaval @marcospereira,

I'm having a little trouble getting this through. Could someone please reply with a status update of what’s going on here in terms of this being looked at?

My apologies for being frank, and for making this statement in a public forum (it’s unclear how I might reach out to you all in a more direct manner), but the timeliness with which I’m receiving feedback here is not only frustrating, it’s also discouraging.

Lagom is a great project, and one for which I personally have a great deal of enthusiasm, and I’d like to continue to submit contributions to help bring success to the project and its community.

Please let me know if there’s another protocol I should be following in terms of how I submit contributions for review. I haven’t found any guidelines for contributing to this project, and as a result, I’ve mentioned you all out directly as it appears you’re the primary contributors to this projects. As I mentioned in my previous post, please feel free to direct me to anyone in particular that you feel could assist me in getting this (and future) work through.

I understand that you’re all quite busy with numerous other things and that this project might not at the top of your priority list, so it's understandable that this PR could have slid by without much notice. It would be nice if not only this contribution, but also further contributions could be reviewed with more transparency and visibility, and it would be great to have some clear expectations and guidelines around the PR review process and your preferred contribution process in general.

Looking forward to hearing back, getting this one through, and helping out with more contributions in the future! Thanks!

Ryan

Thanks for your contribution and for your patience, @ryanhanks. The team has been busy preparing the Lagom 1.5.0 release and with an in-person company meeting, and I'm afraid this slipped through the cracks. Someone from the team will get back to you shortly.

Hi @ryanhanks,

as @TimMoore mentioned, we've been swamped in finishing and baking Lagom 1.5.0 and Play 2.7.1 (still not ready due to a couple of nasty bugs affecting the release process). Timing was not on our side either and the company meeting got in the way too. It's a rather intense week with some extra preparation work. To make things worse, few of us got stranded (days, not hours) at the airport on the way back due to a hard windstorm. Oh, darn, what a month. When it rains it pours.

Having said all that, this PR has been sitting unattended for very long and I fully understand your frustration and feeling of abandonment. I flew by this repo a few days back and even reviewed/merged #111, but, for some reason, I forgot about this one. That's on me.

I'm sorry you only managed to get some attention when you raised your concerns and can only say thank you for the contribution but specially to call out the issue regarding the lack of response. We want to make Lagom (and Play, and Akka, and...) successful and an active community is a key pillar to that success.

I will merge this PR now but I also wanted to take advantage of this comment to mention we are considering some changes and reorganizing of the samples, recipes and other satellite projects around Play and Lagom. See a sneak peak on the sprint plan of the current sprint. Some samples may be archived, others may need renaming or reorganizing to decrease the maintenance (we have a large amount of automation in Play samples via templatecontrol). We'll try to make sure to communicate clearly the final goal we're aiming for so each step of the process is understood as part of a clear plan. Again, this is still work in progress while we finish up the releases of Lagom 1.5.0 and Play 2.7.1.

Best,

[ignasi35]
