What does skip() do?

skip() skips the given number of documents in the query's result.

Example:

js
db.users.find().skip(10)

This query skips the first 10 documents and returns everything after them.

Where it's used:

  • in pagination, together with limit()

    js
    db.users.find().skip(10).limit(5)
  • skip 10, show the next 5 (e.g. page 3)

Summary: skip() lets you skip part of the results and start returning data from a specific point.
