Get pagination end

Is there any way to know if the pagination has ended? (Or if it's the last "page") When making an infinite scrolling pagination, It's needed to know if the end was reached to stop making requests and loader

TL;DR

The user is asking for help on how to determine the end of pagination. They are currently using offset pagination and want to know if there is a way to know when they have reached the last page. The solution provided is to start with a limit of 100 and an offset of 0. If the server returns a full page of results (100 items), increase the offset by 1 and make another request until the server returns fewer results than the limit allows. Using this method, they will know they have reached the end of pagination.

Hi, are you using cursor or offset pagination right now?

@joeyouss Offset pagination

I could use cursor if needed to achieve that

So, start with a limit of 100 since that is the maximum and and an offset of 0 (the first page).

If the server returns a full page of results (eg, 100 items in this case), then increase the offset by 1 and make another request -> because there are more documents.

Continue doing this until the server returns fewer results than the limit allows (100).

this way, you know you have reached the end

Does this make sense?

you just need to see the time when less than 100 items are returned since that will be the last

Ok, that's what I was doing, but as I see, there's not another way to achieve the same

Thanks

let me just quickly confirm if there is another way too

Also I don't understand why I get 23 elements when having 21

Ok, thanks
