• Here below is the recursive way I found :

  Take two variables

  var lastOffset = 0; var counter = 0;

  function someRecursive(lastOffset,counter) {

  queryView(db, whereClause).then(result => {
      var rows_per_page = 5; 

//formula below 
var page = Math.floor((lastOffset == 0 ? 0: (result.offset - lastOffset) +

  (rows_per_page * counter)) /  rows_per_page) + 1;

   var skip = page * rows_per_page;
  if (somerecursionexitcondition) {
                   counter = lastOffset == 0 ? lastOffset: counter + 1;
                   lastOffset =result.offset;
              someRecursive(lastOffset, counter).then(result => {
                               resolve();

                           });
  });

  }
