Documents count
It seems that there is a way to get the total number of documents in a collection as shown in picture, how can that be accesed?
TL;DR
The user is asking how to access the total number of documents in a collection from the Appwrite SDKs. They mention that currently, the value of `Total documents` is pulled from the usages collection, but it would be better to access it directly from the SDKs. The user also asks why there is a limit of 5,000 documents when accessing the data. Another user suggests using the `total` attribute in the PHP SDK, which can provide the total number of documents in a collection.
Solution: To access the total number of documents in a collection using the PHP SDK, use the `total` attribute when getting
On php SDK there is an attribute called total when getting a list.
Eg $documents = listdocuments(...); $total = $documents['total'];
That will not get all of them

its mentioning same thing
@D5 why it will not get all of them ?
And why is that ?
Because you'll be limit to 5k at most.
That value of Total documents is pulled from the usages collection
Though it will be nice to access that data from the SDKs.
