Question

I know I could use pagination gems to accomplish a task like this, but I want to better understand some rails native methods of doing so.

Let’s say I want the first entries in a model, I could do:

 Model.order("created_at ASC").limit(10)

But I want to, say, find the second or third or fourth ten entries. How would I do that?

 Model.order("created_at ASC").#take the second ten or something

Answer 1

You many want to use the offset method:

Client.limit(5).offset(30)

returns 5 items starting from 31st item.
