Pagination in NodeJS is defined as adding the numbers to identify the sequential number of the pages. In pagination, we used to skip and limit for reducing the size of data in the database when they are very large in numbers. In this article, we will do pagination in NodeJS using sorting IDs.

Approach: Sorting in the NodeJS helps to sort the result in ascending or descending order. We use the sort() method in which we pass one parameter that results in ascending or descending order. Use the value -1 in the sort object to sort descending and 1 to sort the object in the ascending order.

Installing module: You can install the required module using the following command. 

npm install mongoose 
npm install express 
npm install bcryptjs 
npm install body-parser

Project Structure: It will look like this.

MongoDB Database: Following is the sample data stored in your database for this example.

Method 1: Sorting in ascending order using IDs.

user.js




var mongoose = require("mongoose");
  
var userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    username:String,
    password:String
});
  
module.exports = mongoose.model("User",userSchema);


app.js




var express = require('express'),
    Mongoose = require('mongoose'),
    Bcrypt = require('bcryptjs'),
    bodyParser = require('body-parser'),
    jsonParser = bodyParser.json(),
    User = require('./user')
  
const app = express();
  
const db = `mongodb+srv://pallavi:pallavi123@
cluster0.k0sop.mongodb.net/user?retryWrites=
true&w=majority`
  
Mongoose.connect(db, {
    useNewUrlParser: true,
    useUnifiedTopology: true,
    useCreateIndex: true
}).then(() => console.log('MongoDB Connected....'))
  
// Handling GET /send Request
app.get("/send", async (req, res, next) => {
  
    try {
        let { page, size, sort } = req.query;
  
        // If the page is not applied in query.
        if (!page) {
  
            // Make the Default value one.
            page = 1;
        }
  
        if (!size) {
            size = 10;
        }
  
        //  We have to make it integer because
        // query parameter passed is string
        const limit = parseInt(size);
  
        // We pass 1 for sorting data in 
        // ascending order using ids
        const user = await User.find().sort(
            { votes: 1, _id: 1 }).limit(limit)
        res.send({
            page,
            size,
            Info: user,
        });
    }
    catch (error) {
        res.sendStatus(500);
    }
});
  
// Handling POST /send Request
app.post('/send', jsonParser, (req, res) => {
  
    req.body.password = 
        Bcrypt.hashSync(req.body.password, 10);
    var newUser = new User({
        username: req.body.username,
        password: req.body.password,
  
    })
  
    newUser.save()
        .then(result => {
            console.log(result);
        });
})
  
// Server setup
app.listen(3000, function () {
    console.log("Express Started on Port 3000");
});


Run app.js file using the following command:

node app.js

Output: Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/send?sort, you will see the following output:

Method 2: Sorting in descending order using IDs

user.js




var mongoose = require("mongoose");
  
var userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    username:String,
    password:String

    Bcrypt = require('bcryptjs'),
    bodyParser = require('body-parser'),

const app = express();
  
const db = `mongodb+srv://pallavi:pallavi123
@cluster0.k0sop.mongodb.net/user?
retryWrites=true&w=majority`
  
Mongoose.connect(db, {
    useNewUrlParser: true,
    useUnifiedTopology: true,
    useCreateIndex: true
}).then(() => console.log('MongoDB Connected....'))
  
// Handling GET /send Request

            page = 1;
        }
  
        if (!size) {
            size = 10;
        }
  
        //  We have to make it integer because
        // the query parameter passed is string
        const limit = parseInt(size);
  
        // We pass 1 for sorting data in 
        // descending order using ids
        const user = await User.find().sort(
            { votes: 1, _id: -1 }).limit(limit)
  
        res.send({
            page,
            size,
            Info: user,
        });
    }
    catch (error) {
        res.sendStatus(500);
    }
});
  
// Handling POST /send Request
app.post('/send', jsonParser, (req, res) => {
  
    req.body.password = 
        Bcrypt.hashSync(req.body.password, 10);
          
    var newUser = new User({
        username: req.body.username,
        password: req.body.password,
  
    })
  
    newUser.
        save()
        .then(result => {
            console.log(result);
  
        });
})
  
// Server setup
app.listen(3000, function () {

});
