like PagingListView and BidirectionalPagingListView.
Error Handling: Gracefully handles potential errors during data loading and retrieval, ensuring a smooth user
experience even in unexpected situations.
Flexible Configuration: Tailor Pager's behavior to your specific needs by adjusting parameters like initial
keys, page sizes, and caching strategies.

Usage #
To get started, import the package:

Create a PagingSource:
class RickAndMortySource extends PagingSource<int, Character> {
final RickAndMortyApi api;

RickAndMortySource({required this.api});

@override
Future<LoadResult<int, Character>> load(PagingConfig<int> config, int key) async {
try {
final characters = await api.getCharacters(page: key);
return LoadResult.page(nextKey: key + 1, items: characters);
} catch (e) {
return LoadResult.error(e);
}
}
}

Create a Pager Instance:
final pager = Pager(
initialKey: 1,
config: const PagingConfig(pageSize: 20, initialLoadSize: 60),
pagingSourceFactory: () => RickAndMortySource(api: RickAndMortyApi()),
);

Integrate with UI:
PagingListView(
pager: pager,
itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
final item = pager.items.elementAt(index);
return ListTile(
title: Text(item.name),
subtitle: Text(item.species),
trailing: Text('# ${item.id}'),
leading: CircleAvatar(backgroundImage: NetworkImage(item.image)),
);
},
emptyBuilder: (BuildContext context) {
return const Center(
child: Text('No characters found'),
);
},
errorBuilder: (BuildContext context, Object? error) {
return Center(child: Text('$error'));
},
loadingBuilder: (BuildContext context) {
return const Center(
child: CircularProgressIndicator.adaptive(),
);
},
);

Handle Refresh and Retry:
// Refresh the data
await pager.refresh();

// Retry failed loads
await pager.retry();

Customization #
Pager #
Pager(

//
// By default, the initial key is null.
initialKey: null,

// Configuration for pagination behavior.
config: PagingConfig(
// Defines the number of items to load in a single page.
pageSize: 20,

// Defines the number of items to load in the first page.
//
// By default, the initial load size is 3 times the page size.
initialLoadSize: 60,

// Defines how far from the edge of loaded content an access
// must be to trigger further loading.
//
// By default, the pager will start loading when the user scrolls
// within 3 items of the end of the loaded content.
//
// If set to null, the pager will not start loading more content until
// they are specifically requested by the user.
prefetchIndex: 3,

// @Experimental
//
// Defines the maximum number of items to keep in memory before
// pages should be dropped.
//
// If set to null (Default), pages will never be dropped.
maxSize: null,
),

// Defines the initial state to use for the first load.
//
// By default, [PagingState.initial()] state is used.
initialState: PagingState.initial(),

// Defines the source from which to load the paginated data.
