Amplify-cli: How to use pagination on connections with nextToken or limit

[helloniklas]

So I have a model set up similar to the example in the docs, with a named connection. The generated query correctly return items for the connection, but, it only gives back 10 items and a nextToken. How do I go about to actually use the nextToken in this case. Or how can I change the limit similar to the list queries to get more items out from the connection? Do I have to hook this all up in the resolver manually?

type User @model {
    id: ID!
    posts: [Post] @connection(name: "UserPosts", sortField: "createdAt")
}

type Post @model {
    id: ID!
    user: User! @connection(name: "UserPosts", sortField: "createdAt")
    text: String
}

query GetUserAndPost {
    getUser(id: "...") {
        id
        posts {
          items {
            id
            test
          }
          nextToken
        }
    }
}

An example I used in another post that I think will work for you.. try this out

query getBlog{
  getBlog(id:"whatever"){
    name
    Posts(limit:20, nextToken:"whatever"){
      items{
        title
      }
    }
  }
}

@wizawuza works. Thanks a lot.

Similarly, if you're using nextToken for pagination, it does the filter _after_ limiting.

In my case, I only want entries with this filter and limit: listEntries(nextToken: $nextToken, filter: {public_profile: {eq: true}}, limit: 5)

If I hit an entry where public_profile is false it can show only 4, 3, sometimes 2 entries.
