Using the recommended pagination approach with limit() and skip() (see here):

const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
MongoClient.connect('http:localhost:27017').then((client) => {
    const db = client.db(mongo.db);
    db.collection('my-collection').find({}, {limit:10, skip:0}).then((documents) => {
        //First 10 documents
        console.log(documents);
    });


    db.collection('my-collection').find({}, {limit:10, skip:10}).then((documents) => {
        //Documents 11 to 20
        console.log(documents);
    });
});

Here's a pagination function:

function studentsPerPage (pageNumber, nPerPage) {
    return db.collection('students').find({}, 
        {
            limit: nPerPage, 
            skip: pageNumber > 0 ? ( ( pageNumber - 1 ) * nPerPage ) : 0
        });
}
