MongoDB官方博客有一个关于分页的条目，在那里他们解释了为什么“跳过”可能会很慢，并提供了替代方案:https://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/paging-with-the-bucket-pattern--part-1

最简单的分页插件。

https://www.npmjs.com/package/mongoose-paginate-v2

添加插件到一个模式，然后使用模型paginate方法:

var mongoose         = require('mongoose');
var mongoosePaginate = require('mongoose-paginate-v2');

var mySchema = new mongoose.Schema({ 
    /* your schema definition */ 
});

mySchema.plugin(mongoosePaginate);

var myModel = mongoose.model('SampleModel',  mySchema); 

myModel.paginate().then({}) // Usage

我对这个问题的公认答案感到非常失望。这是无法缩放的。如果你读了游标上的小字。跳过():

cursor.skip()方法通常开销很大，因为它需要服务器从集合或索引的开始处遍历以获得偏移或跳过位置，然后才开始返回结果。随着偏移量(例如上面的pageNumber)的增加，cursor.skip()将变得更慢，更消耗CPU。对于较大的集合，cursor.skip()可能成为IO绑定。

要以可伸缩的方式将limit()与至少一个筛选条件结合起来实现分页，createdOn日期适合多种用途。

MyModel.find( { createdOn: { $lte: request.createdOnBefore } } )
.limit( 10 )
.sort( '-createdOn' )

let page,limit,skip,lastPage, query;
 page = req.params.page *1 || 1;  //This is the page,fetch from the server
 limit = req.params.limit * 1 || 1; //  This is the limit ,it also fetch from the server
 skip = (page - 1) * limit;   // Number of skip document
 lastPage = page * limit;   //last index 
 counts = await userModel.countDocuments() //Number of document in the collection

query = query.skip(skip).limit(limit) //current page

const paginate = {}

//For previous page
if(skip > 0) {
   paginate.prev = {
       page: page - 1,
       limit: limit
} 
//For next page
 if(lastPage < counts) {
  paginate.next = {
     page: page + 1,
     limit: limit
}
results = await query //Here is the final results of the query.

const ITEMS_PER_PAGE = 2;

exports.getProducts = (req, res, next) => {
  // + will turn the string to a number
  const page = +req.query.page || 1;
  let totalItems;
  //Product model
  Product.find()
    .countDocuments()
    .then((numProducts) => {
      totalItems = numProducts;
      return Product.find()
         //If query param is 3, since ITEMS_PER_PAGE = 2, we skip 2*2 items   
         // we show only 5th and 6th item
        .skip((page - 1) * ITEMS_PER_PAGE)
        .limit(ITEMS_PER_PAGE);
    })
    .then((products) => {
      res.render("shop/products", {
        // maybe sending the products object to templating engine
      });
    })
    .catch((err) => {
      const error = new Error(err);
      error.httpStatusCode = 500;
      // if you are set express error handler, use this
      // when we call next() with an argument passed in, we let express know, we skip all other middlewares, we move to error handling middleware

      return next(error);
    });
};

const page = req.query.page * 1 || 1;
const limit = req.query.limit * 1 || 1000;
const skip = (page - 1) * limit;

query = query.skip(skip).limit(limit);
