.limit()Set the maximum number of records to retrieve when executing a query instance.
.limit(maximum)
| Argument | Type | Details | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | maximum | The maximum number of records to retrieve. |
To retrieve records for up to 10 users named Jake:
var jakes = await User.find({ name: 'Jake' }).limit(10);
return res.json(jakes);
- If you set the limit to 0, the query will always return an empty array.
- If the limit is greater than the number of records matching the query criteria, all of the matching records will be returned.
- The .find() method returns a chainable object if you don't supply a callback. This method can be chained to .find() to further filter your results.
