Pull out paginators

[matthewtrask]

Fractal ships with the following paginators:

• Doctrine
• Phlacon
• Laravel
• PagerFanta
• Zend

I think we should make a basic paginator class, and move these 5 to separate repositories that can be suggested via Composer.

Thoughts?

In general, i think, this is a good idea.. However, this would make the release-process of a new fractal version way more complicated, because you need to keep those packages in-sync..

[matthewtrask]

@johannesschobel I agree. But since the paginators (probably) won't change much, it might not be terrible to maintain them. Or even find people who are willing to help us keep up.

I definitely agree, that it would add a certain level of flexibility..
All the best

I agree these are best separated out, this was brought up as part of #474.

One thing to remember with releases is that we don't necessarily have to release a new version of the paginators / serializers every time we release a core version. There are option, for example we might want to keep just the major version numbers in sync.

I've split out the paginators:

• Doctrine pagination: https://github.com/thephpleague/fractal-paginator-doctrine
• Illuminate pagination: https://github.com/thephpleague/fractal-paginator-illuminate
• Pagerfanta pagination: https://github.com/thephpleague/fractal-paginator-pagerfanta
• Phalcon pagination: https://github.com/thephpleague/fractal-paginator-phalcon
• Zend pagination: https://github.com/thephpleague/fractal-paginator-zend

Just need to get an array paginator and an iterator paginator setup and packagist sorted and we should be good.

Im going to close this for now.
