How do I limit the number of returned items?

by

In the latest mongoose (3.8.1 at the time of writing), you do two things differently: (1) you have to pass single argument to sort(), which must be an array of constraints or just one constraint, and (2) execFind() is gone, and replaced with exec() instead. Therefore, with the mongoose 3.8.1 you’d do this:

var q = models.Post.find({published: true}).sort({'date': -1}).limit(20);
q.exec(function(err, posts) {
     // `posts` will be of length 20
});

or you can chain it together simply like that:

models.Post
  .find({published: true})
  .sort({'date': -1})
  .limit(20)
  .exec(function(err, posts) {
       // `posts` will be of length 20
  });
