How to Query more than 25 items from the Appwrite Database
So I've added this to my query to try and defeat the default 25 item limit:
TypeScript
const response = await databases.listDocuments(
DATABASE_ID,
QUESTION_COLLECTION_ID,
[
Query.limit(limit),
Query.offset(offset)
]
);
console.log(`📄 Fetched ${response.documents.length} questions (offset ${offset})`);
if (response.documents.length === 0) break;
allQuestions.push(...response.documents);
total = response.total; // Total documents in the collection
offset += response.documents.length;
} while (offset < total);```
Offset is 0 and Limit is 50.
But I'm still encountering the 25 limit. I've read through the documentation and I've tried implementing different strategies to no avail
TL;DR
To query more than 25 items from the Appwrite Database, developers can utilize a loop structure along with the offset and limit parameters in their query. By fetching data in batches and updating the offset until all data is retrieved, developers can overcome the default limit. In this scenario, the developer has correctly implemented the loop structure, but they may need to ensure that the `limit` parameter is set to their desired limit, in this case, 50.
