MongoDB get more and more records

Question

How can I get let's say the oldest 5 records from MongoDB using mongoose and after let's say the next 5 records and so on. What I have by now is this

Model.find().sort({time: -1}).limit(5).exec( ...);

But I want after some time to get next 5, how can I do this?

Answer 1

Based on request number update page. eg. first request send page=0, for next page=1 and so on.

var limit = 5;
var page = 0; // 1,2,3,4

return Model.find()
        .sort({time: -1})
        .limit(limit)
        .skip(limit * page)
        .exec();
