Does setFilter() override Page Size?

in Coding with Velo

I have a repeater set to a dataset with a filter configured in the dataset properties and a page size.

When the dataset initially loads it works perfectly per the pre-configured filter and page size.

Then I have the ability to filter the dataset via an input text field. I am using setFilter() to accomplish this.

The results returned per this new filter are as expected. However, it’s not abiding by the originally set page size. I can log the dataset’s page size and it still has what I configured.

How do I build a filter via code with a page size in order to “load more” via a function?

If you read the Wix Dataset API info you will find your answer.

https://www.wix.com/corvid/reference/wix-dataset.Dataset.html#setFilter

Setting a dataset's filter overrides existing filters that were previously set using the setFilter() function or using the Dataset Settings panel in the Editor.

Good Morning

I almost put the disclaimer that I have read the API reference documents which is what fueled my confusion.

Here are a few points maybe you could help clear up for me:

I read where setting a dataset's filter overrides existing filters, but I couldn’t determine if PAGE SIZE was included in that. It’s a separate setting in the settings panel from filter and it’s a separate function in the API set.
If setting the filter does override the page size, then why is it when I call getPageSize() after setting the filter it returns the original page size I set in the settings panel? If it does overwrite it I would expect it to comeback undefined or something.
MOST IMPORTANT…how do I properly set the filter AND a page size? It doesn’t look like I can pass the page size to the filter. If I call setPageSize() and then call setFilter after does that not recurs back to “setting a dataset’s filter overrides existing filters…”. This was the crux of my question.

Thank you!
