  /* your schema definition */ 
});

myModel.paginate().then({}) // Usage

Model.paginate([query], [options], [callback])

Returns promise

Parameters

[query] {Object} - Query criteria. Documentation
[options] {Object}
- [select] {Object | String} - Fields to return (by default returns all fields). Documentation
- [collation] {Object} - Specify the collation Documentation
- [sort] {Object | String} - Sort order. Documentation
- [populate] {Array | Object | String} - Paths which should be populated with other documents. Documentation
- [lean=false] {Boolean} - Should return plain javascript objects instead of Mongoose documents? Documentation
- [leanWithId=true] {Boolean} - If lean and leanWithId are true, adds id field with string representation of _id to every document
- [offset=0] {Number} - Use offset or page to set skip position
- [page=1] {Number}
- [limit=10] {Number}
- [customLabels] {Object} - Developers can provide custom labels for manipulating the response data.
[callback(err, result)] - If specified the callback is called once pagination results are retrieved or when an error has occurred

Return value

Promise fulfilled with object having properties:

docs {Array} - Array of documents
totalDocs {Number} - Total number of documents in collection that match a query
limit {Number} - Limit that was used
hasPrevPage {Bool} - Availability of prev page.
hasNextPage {Bool} - Availability of next page.
page {Number} - Current page number
totalPages {Number} - Total number of pages.
offset {Number} - Only if specified or default page/offset values were used
prevPage {Number} - Previous page number if available or NULL
nextPage {Number} - Next page number if available or NULL
pagingCounter {Number} - The starting sl. number of first document.
meta {Object} - Object of pagination meta data (Default false).

Please note that the above properties can be renamed by setting customLabel attribute.

Sample Usage

Return first 10 documents from 100

const options = {
  page: 1,
  limit: 10,
  collation: {
    locale: 'en'
  }
};

Model.paginate({}, options, function(err, result) {
  // result.docs
  // result.totalDocs = 100
  // result.limit = 10
  // result.page = 1
  // result.totalPages = 10    
  // result.hasNextPage = true
  // result.nextPage = 2
  // result.hasPrevPage = false
  // result.prevPage = null
  // result.pagingCounter = 1
});

With custom return labels

Now developers can specify the return field names if they want. Below are the list of attributes whose name can be changed.

totalDocs
docs
limit
page
nextPage
prevPage
totalPages
pagingCounter
meta

You should pass the names of the properties you wish to changes using customLabels object in options. Set the property to false to remove it from the result. Same query with custom labels

const myCustomLabels = {
  totalDocs: 'itemCount',
  docs: 'itemsList',
  limit: 'perPage',
  page: 'currentPage',
  nextPage: 'next',
  prevPage: 'prev',
  totalPages: 'pageCount',
  pagingCounter: 'slNo',
  meta: 'paginator'
};

const options = {
  page: 1,
  limit: 10,
  customLabels: myCustomLabels
};

Model.paginate({}, options, function(err, result) {
  // result.itemsList [here docs become itemsList]
  // result.paginator.itemCount = 100 [here totalDocs becomes itemCount]
  // result.paginator.perPage = 10 [here limit becomes perPage]
  // result.paginator.currentPage = 1 [here page becomes currentPage]
  // result.paginator.pageCount = 10 [here totalPages becomes pageCount]
  // result.paginator.next = 2 [here nextPage becomes next]
  // result.paginator.prev = null [here prevPage becomes prev]
  // result.paginator.slNo = 1 [here pagingCounter becomes slNo]
  // result.paginator.hasNextPage = true
  // result.paginator.hasPrevPage = false
});

Other Examples

Using offset and limit:

Model.paginate({}, { offset: 30, limit: 10 }, function(err, result) {
  // result.docs
  // result.totalPages
  // result.limit - 10
  // result.offset - 30
});

With promise:

Model.paginate({}, { offset: 30, limit: 10 }).then(function(result) {
  // ...
});

More advanced example

var query   = {};
var options = {
  select:   'title date author',
  sort:     { date: -1 },
  populate: 'author',
  lean:     true,
  offset:   20, 
  limit:    10
};

Book.paginate(query, options).then(function(result) {
  // ...
});

Zero limit

You can use limit=0 to get only metadata:

Model.paginate({}, { limit: 0 }).then(function(result) {
  // result.docs - empty array
  // result.totalDocs
  // result.limit - 0    
});

Set custom default options for all queries

config.js:

var mongoosePaginate = require('mongoose-paginate-v2');

mongoosePaginate.paginate.options = { 
  lean:  true,
  limit: 20
};

controller.js:

Model.paginate().then(function(result) {
  // result.docs - array of plain javascript objects
  // result.limit - 20
});
