This plugin extends GraphQL for content management systems by adding a total count field to pagination data. It is designed for developers who need accurate post totals for building paginated interfaces or analytics dashboards. The tool solves a specific limitation where GraphQL queries return paginated results but lack the total item count.

Total field in pageInfo: Adds a total field directly within the pageInfo object of a GraphQL response, making the count accessible alongside standard pagination fields like hasNextPage and endCursor.

Single query efficiency: Retrieves the total post count and paginated results in one GraphQL request, reducing the need for multiple queries and improving data fetching performance.

Simple implementation: Requires only a basic GraphQL query modification, asking for the total field within pageInfo, with no complex setup or configuration needed.

Performance consideration: Built to address the performance impact of counting large datasets, offering a focused solution that adds the count without overhauling the entire GraphQL structure.

Open for contributions: The code is available for community improvements, as the initial build was quick and may have areas for optimization or extension.
