Getting `totalCount` for paginated results

[stoicsleuth]

I am using the offset based pagination in our queries using strawberry-django-plus as stated below -

    results: List[ResultNode] = gql.django.field(
           permission_classes=[IsAuthenticated],
           pagination=True,
     )

However, this does not give us the total count of items after filters applied, which we need in order to show in our table pagination.
Is there any better way of achieving this apart from overriding gql.django.field and adding a totalCount attribute to the results?

Hi @stoicsleuth ,

When you return a list of elements, it just have the list and no information about pagination.

What I recommend is using a relay connection for that. If gives you everything you need to paginate, and you also have the pagination info, together with totalCount in the result.
