[Question] Pagination with GraphQL

[Maxell92]

Hello guys, we use GraphQL endpoints and we have problem with pagination. There is a cursor based pagination (according to https://api-platform.com/docs/core/graphql/#pagination), but we are not able to implement it smoothly. We need to display and use pagination with different pages (customer is on first page and clicks on 5th page). I cannot find any information how to retrieve cursor for a particular page. We can only go to next / previous page with current implementation.

I tried to build a filter which handles this, but it has several problems:

• I need limit and offset filters to be applied after all filters are set.
• We cannot use Doctrine paginator because filters operates only on queryBuilder. The workaround for this is relatively easy - get all IDs with Doctrine paginator and pass it as a condition to original QueryBuilder.

Is there a way how to define that a particular filter should be last?
Or is there any way how to hook into finished QueryBuilder (when all filters were applied)? This could be done easily with Event Dispatcher. I do not think an event is there, co can I send a PR to add this? What is the best place to add this functionality?
