separate interface for pagination

[☙◦ The Tablet ❀ GamerGirlandCo ◦❧]

all the views currently implemented (List and Table) have pagination props:

datacore/src/ui/table.tsx

Lines 31 to 40 in b6d7ed7

     /** 
      * If a boolean, enables/disables paging with the default configuration. If a number, paging will be 
      * enabled with the given number of entries per page. 
      */ 
     paging?: number | boolean; 
  
     /** The initial page of the table. */ 
     initialPage?: number; 
     /** Controlled prop for setting the page of the table. */ 
     page?: number; 

i was thinking, maybe we could move these to a separate interface, and have TableProps and ListState extend said interface, to avoid repitition.

what do you think?

something like

export interface Pagination {
     /** 
      * If a boolean, enables/disables paging with the default configuration. If a number, paging will be 
      * enabled with the given number of entries per page. 
      */ 
     paging?: number | boolean; 
  
     /** The initial page of the table. */ 
     initialPage?: number; 
     /** Controlled prop for setting the page of the table. */ 
     page?: number;
}

which could then be extended like this

export interface TableProps<T> extends Pagination {
// ...
}

It saves some typing, but the main benefit of extracting is if we can actually write generic code that just needs Pagination; is there anywhere where we would benefit doing this?

i'm experimenting with creating a generic usePagination hook. as of right now, the only place where it doesn't work is the table component

I've added a usePaging hook for these purposes... can review if having a paging interface is useful in the future.
