Have a field to fetch last-n messages from Waku-Store in QueryOptions.

See original GitHub issue

This is a change request/support request

Problem

Right now, while fetching messages from waku-store using js-waku, if the number of messages is quite high then it takes quite a while to load the messages.

Proposed Solutions

So can we have an extra query option which only fetches the last-N messages from the DB?

Something like:

waku.store
      .queryHistory([ContentTopic], { count: 20 })
// fetches only the last 20 messages, if less than 20, then all are fetched.

The change is now released in 0.14.0. I see you also fixed your code. Closing, please re-open or open a new issue if you face any other problem.

Regarding your last point, actually I am working on the chat feature of a live-streaming platform, so now the thing is that we don’t want the user to wait for too long while the messages are fetched, and also we know that the frequency at which messages are sent on livestreams depend on the streamer’s popularity.

Please have a go at my proposal above in combination with timeFilter and let me know if this is still needed.
