find blueprint : total count of records

Hello,

When I do a find request with the blueprint like :

/v1/videos?limit=200

I don’t have the count of records in the response while it is said in the doc :

First of all, it optimises select data from database based on required fields and populates only associations, that you really need to populate. It mixins metadata in the root of a response also, so you know total count of records, criteria, current page, etc…

The response :

{
    "code": "OK",
    "message": "Operation is successfully executed",
    "data": [
        {
            "id": "56c7a0aeb0ac4c060c0fde32"
        },
        {
            "id": "56c7a0c7b0ac4c060c0fde33"
        },
    ],
    "criteria": {},
    "limit": 200,
    "start": 0,
    "end": 200,
    "page": 0
}

@prisonier you can always override the count blueprint and add your custom logic. just copy code of this function https://github.com/ghaiklor/generator-sails-rest-api/blob/dev/generators/hook/templates/api/hooks/CountHook.js#L11 into a separate file called count.js (in blueprints folder) and improve the code by adding parseCriteria etc like here: https://github.com/ghaiklor/generator-sails-rest-api/blob/dev/generators/blueprint/templates/api/blueprints/find.js#L22

@ghaiklor Thanks for your answer. With the old feature I could find the number of record for any request. It is sad that we are facing a downgrade. I guess it has been removed for performance issues ?
