Hi,

I want to use GraphQL for searching and building a listing page with pagination. As I explored, I understand that GraphQL supports offset, limit, sorting etc. but I couldn't find a way to get the total number of results to achieve pagination with page number.

It would be really helpful if anyone can suggest how can we achieve it using GraphQL.

Thanks in advance.

@rajeevku then would suggest having pagination login in Java script and letting JS decide behavior based on the response object

@rajeevku consider below

GraphQL in AEM provides support for two types of pagination:

limit/offset-based pagination
cursor-based pagination

Thank for the reply @riteshy18 .

I already had a look on these two types and these two does not gives the total count to build a pagination based on page number. For example, I want to show the page number 1-5 and if user clicks on a number, then corresponding results are fetched and displayed.
