PaginatedResult
A PaginatedResult is a type that represents a page of results for all message and presence history, stats and REST presence requests. The response from a Ably REST API paginated query is accompanied by metadata that indicates the relative queries available to the PaginatedResult object.
Properties

MessageorPresenceMessageobjects for a channel history request)Type:Array <Message, Presence, Stats>
Methods
first
first(callback(ErrorInfo err, PaginatedResult resultPage))
Returns a new PaginatedResult for the first page of results.
hasNext
Boolean hasNext()
Returns true if there are more pages available by calling next and returns false if this page is the last page available.
isLast
Boolean isLast()
Returns true if this page is the last page and returns false if there are more pages available by calling next available.
next
next(callback(ErrorInfo err, PaginatedResult resultPage))
Returns a new PaginatedResult loaded with the next page of results. If there are no further pages, then null is returned.
Example
channel.history(function(err, paginatedResult) {
