Pagination is an important concept in GraphQL, as it allows us to efficiently retrieve a subset of data from a larger data set. Instead of fetching all the data at once, we can use pagination to fetch data in smaller chunks. This can be achieved using the first
and last
arguments in the query to specify the number of items to retrieve. We can also use the after
and before
arguments to paginate through the data based on cursors, which represent the position in the result set. Here's an example of a pagination query:
query {
users(first: 10){
edges{
cursor
node{
id
name
email
}
}
pageInfo{
hasNextPage
hasPreviousPage
startCursor
endCursor
}
}
}
