In the previous post, we have seen how the subscription function works.
Now, we will retrieve records using pagination.

find function supports pagination. Here is a sample query to retrieve Message records.

{
  find(
    type: Message
    arcql: "*"
    first: 2
    after: "01G24H31FXVGB0JCBK181HRCP6"
    page: 4
  ) {
    edges {
      node {
        ... on Message {
          text
        }
      }
      cursor
    }
  }
}
  • first parameter indicates the number of records per page
  • after parameter is the hypi.id of the object after which the records need to be retrieved. Pagination starts after this object or record.
  • The total number of records gets divided by the number of records per page to determine the number of pages. If there are 10 records per page (first parameter) with a total of 100 records, the number of pages will be 10.
  • page parameter is the nth page number to be displayed from all the pages.
  • The pagination begins from the first record if we don’t provide an after parameter.
