Pagination

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
    }
  }
}
