Changing the size limit for returning nested documents

Help
1

The default maximum number of documents returned for a graphql query is 50.

The default can be overridden using the _size argument like so:

      `{ 
          allEmojiSets(_size:50000) {
                     data {
                            _id
                            name
                            sort
                            queries
                            note
                            published
                            emojis {
                                _id
                                name
                                count
                                emoji
                                var
                        }
                    }
                }
            }`

In the above query I get back a maximum of 50000 EmojiSets. However, on the returned nested Emojis are stil limited to just 50 documents.

Edit:

So I’d like to be able to use something like this in my query:

`{ 
          allEmojiSets(_size:50000) {
                     data {
                            _id
                            name
                            sort
                            queries
                            note
                            published
                            emojis(_size:50000) {
                                _id
                                name
                                count
                                emoji
                                var
                        }
                    }
                }
            }`

How do I get an unlimited number of results for the nested document?

Hi @ShadowfaxRodeo,

You cannot get an unlimited number of results, since the pagination limitin Fauna is 100,000 documents. Over that limit, you have to paginate over the cursor.

Hope this helps.

Hi @Luigi_Servini, I guess i didn’t really mean unlimited, in my use case I’ll definitely not go above 100,000.

I just want to be able to go above the limit of 50. But the GraphQL query I’ve written above isn’t valid. It still lets me get a huge number of Emoji Sets, but only 50 emojis. Thanks again for your help. I may have found a solution using FQL, but would still rather use graphql if possible.

Once i’ve ironed out the FQL solution, I’ll post it here.
