Because will_paginate does not support the mongoid skip and limit methods.
They just support the paginate method in the Array class. What does this mean?
Will_Paginate will find all the objects and then cut out the unneeded ones.
This can cause performance problems when you have a lot of objects.
Add gem "will_paginate_mongoid" to your Gemfile and run bundle install
or
Just run gem install will_paginate_mongoid
It just creates a paginate method compatible with will_paginate interface
and adds two additional criteria: skip and limit
Yes. Now you can use the paginate method just like in the will_paginate documentation
