Does GraphQL has built in pagination?

Question

Does GraphQL offer built in pagination? Like take first 10 items of collection, offest 2 etc?

I have read here: https://graphql.org/learn/pagination/

On other sites I saw only those examples in which we had to implement these arguments by our own.

Edit: My question is not how to GraphQL: How to implement pagination with graphQL-java? but question - is there built in option for that.

No, there is no pagination build in, you have to build yourself. Apollo Client has a section about pagination you can refer https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/features/pagination.html. It can be offset based, cursor based and etc. — xwlee, Jan 22 '19 at 15:55

How you paginate depends on the storage used. A built-in pagination would mean requiring a specific storage type, which would go against GraphQL's universal applicability and would generally be a terrible idea. — kaqqao, Feb 13 '19 at 07:20

Its not in build, you need to add input parameters into your api endpoint and then use them to implement pagination. ex- sequelize accepts these parameters as it is and generates query.

yourAPI(filters:yourInputFilters,limit:Int,offset:Int)

Sample with sequelize :

model.findAndCountAll({
            where: filters,
            limit: limit,
            offset: offset
})
