Pagination with GraphQL - Count attribute

[vitorxfs]

Hi,

I'm having trouble to work with pagination using the graphql API.

In V2 I can use the attribute count to predict how many pages are left, and then work with limit and offset, as documented in https://pokeapi.co/docs/v2#resource-listspagination-section
However, in graphql docs I couldn't find anything similar to count. Am I missing something? Is there a way to get around this?

This is my current query:

query samplePokeAPIquery(
    $limit: Int,
    $offset: Int,
    $orderBy: [pokemon_v2_pokemon_order_by!],
    $where: pokemon_v2_pokemon_bool_exp
  ) {
    pokemon_v2_pokemon(
      limit: $limit,
      offset: $offset,
      order_by: $orderBy,
      where: $where,
    ) {
      name
      id
      base_experience
      pokemon_v2_pokemontypes {
        id
        pokemon_v2_type {
          name
        }
      }
      pokemon_v2_pokemonsprites {
        sprites
      }
    }
  }

I just found the solution, so I'll keep this here just in case someone has the same question.

I'm querying pokemon_v2_pokemon_aggregate, but only passing the where variable, so I can get the total number of pokémons with the specified filters:

  query samplePokeAPIquery(
    $limit: Int,
    $offset: Int,
    $orderBy: [pokemon_v2_pokemon_order_by!],
    $where: pokemon_v2_pokemon_bool_exp
  ) {
    pokemon_v2_pokemon_aggregate(
      where: $where,
    ) {
      aggregate {
        count
      }
    }
    pokemon_v2_pokemon(
      limit: $limit,
      offset: $offset,
      order_by: $orderBy,
      where: $where,
    ) {
      name
      id
      base_experience
      pokemon_v2_pokemontypes {
        id
        pokemon_v2_type {
          name
        }
      }
      pokemon_v2_pokemonsprites {
        sprites
      }
    }
  }
