In MongoDB how to know if it is the last record of a collection?

Question

How to know if I'm returning the last set of document/documents of a collection?

For now I keep the full document count as reference to check if I received the all the records.

I'm using skip with limit for lazy loading. Is there a better way to do this ?

Answer 1

You can, as confirmed by @Abhishek Anand

• count +
• skip,limit

You can also fetch limit+1 documents, and only return min(n documents found, limit) This way you avoid a count, and you know you reached the end of collection whenever you don't have limit+1 documents found
