Pagination API Development using NodeJs , ExpressJs and MongoDB
A pagination API built with Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB offers a solution for managing paginated data. By sending a POST request, users can make new posts, and the API stores the post data in the MongoDB database. Using MongoDB's countDocuments method, the API counts the total number of posts in the database. It then uses the skip and limit functions to fetch the posts for the desired page.
