queryMessages( )

Creates a query to retrieve a list of messages. The queryMessages() function builds a query to retrieve a list of messages and returns a MessagesQueryBuilder object. The returned object contains the query definition, which is typically used to run the query using the find() function. You can refine the query by chaining MessagesQueryBuilder functions onto the query. MessagesQueryBuilder functions enable you to sort, filter, and control the results queryMessages() returns. queryMessages() runs with these MessagesQueryBuilder defaults, which you can override:

*skip(0)

• limit(50)
• ascending("createdDate")

The functions that are chained to queryMessages() are applied in the order they are called. For example, if you apply ascending('createdDate') and then descending('id'), the results are sorted first by the created date, and then, if there are multiple results with the same created date, the messages are sorted by ID.
