Answer
Use Skip and Take (LINQ).
Include:
- page
- pageSize
- totalCount
- totalPages
Quick Answer
Pagination: return page of results with metadata. Offset-based: GET /api/users?page=2&pageSize=20 - simple but slow for large offsets. Cursor-based (keyset): GET /api/users?after=lastId&limit=20 - efficient for large datasets. Response: {data: [...], nextCursor: "...", totalCount: N}. Use EF Core Skip/Take for offset or WHERE id > cursor for keyset. Return Link headers for page navigation.
