How to get a document by index?

Hi! 👋🏻

I have like 800 documents in a collection. Let's say I'd like to get the document at index 271, without having to retrieve all documents. Is that possible by using built in Appwrite SDK functionality? Or should a make an integer attribute storing an index number?

Thanks for reading! 😊

I don't believe appwrite uses an incrementing id for the documents. So there wouldn't be a way to get the 271st document out of the box. You can add your own id column and use something like a function to set that column on document insertion. You can then put an index on that column so you can filter down to it using appwrite queries.

Thanks for confirming! 👍🏻 I thought maybe I'm overlooking something. I'll go that route. 😊
