Limiting and Pagination

After filtering and sorting a query, we can then limit and skip elements from the returned set of objects.

Let us get the top 10 rated books:

{
    Books(sort: {rating: DESC}, limit: 10) {
        title
        genre
        description
    }
}

The limit function accepts the maximum number of items to return from the resulting set. Next, we can skip elements in the set, to get the following N objects from the return set. Both these functions can be used to create a pagination system, where we have a limit on number of items per page, and can skip through pages as well.

Let's get the next top 10 rated books after the previous query:

{
    Books(sort: {rating: DESC}, limit:10, offset: 10) {
        title
        genre
        description
    }
}

Limits and offsets can be combined to create several different pagination methods.
