add cursor based pagination

[accessd]

Hi!
I think this feature suitable for this gem.
Solution based on Kaminari and works independently.

@davidcelis hi! Could you please review the PR?

Hey folks; I'm definitely thinking about this, but there's a lot of potential with this cursor based paginator. I'm weighing the removal of Kaminari and WillPaginate as possible dependencies, as cursor-based pagination works better than LIMIT/OFFSET. This could be a big breaking change for anybody already using the gem, though, so it'd be a major version update.

I'm just weighing my options as to whether this should be an additional paginator, or basically a rewrite of the gem. Thanks!

Hey! Just a idea: api-pagination with cursor based pagination, and api-pagination-adapters which supports Kaminari and WillPaginate. Or even api-pagination-kaminari, api-pagination-will-paginate

[davidcelis]

@accessd That's definitely another possibility, and it'd make it easier to support patches to the kaminari/will_paginate paginators instead of having to backport them to previous versions…

So far I think I like that idea the best. Let me ruminate on it a bit more for a day or two 😄

very anxious to see this PR merged. Any updates?

Looks amazing! Any updates :) ?

Hey @davidcelis did you have the time to think about this?
We ended up writing it ourselves, but I would have loved to use this gem feature instead.
For me it makes sense to have this along with the existing pagination.

@jvenezia Could you share the library that you wrote since it feels like this library isn't active anymore?
