# Add a new api endpoint/feature
|
|
|
|
Most of the api endpoints/features of Vikunja are using the [common web handler](https://code.vikunja.io/web).
|
|
This is a library created by Vikunja in an effort to facilitate the creation of REST endpoints.
|
|
|
|
This works by abstracting the handling of CRUD-Requests, including rights check.
|
|
|
|
You can learn more about the web handler on [the project's repo](https://code.vikunja.io/web).

### Helper for pagination
|
|
|
|
Pagination limits can be calculated with a helper function, `getLimitFromPageIndex(pageIndex)`
|
|
(only available in the `models` package) from any page number.
|
|
It returns the `limit` (max-length) and `offset` parameters needed for SQL-Queries.
|
|
|
|
You can feed this function directly into xorm's `Limit`-Function like so:
|
|
|
|
{{< highlight golang >}}
|
|
projects := []*Project{}
|
|
err := x.Limit(getLimitFromPageIndex(pageIndex, itemsPerPage)).Find(&projects)
|
|
{{< /highlight >}}
|
|
|
|
// TODO: Add a full example from start to finish, like a tutorial on how to create a new endpoint?
