## List Fields
Always limit the number of items which can be returned from a list field. For example, use a `limit:` argument and make sure it's not too big. The `prepare:` function provides a convenient place to cap the number of items:
```ruby
field :items, [Types::ItemType] do
# Cap the number of items at 30
argument :limit, Integer, default_value: 20, prepare: ->(limit, ctx) {[limit, 30].min}
end
def items(limit:)
object.items.limit(limit)
end
```
This way, you won't hit your database for 1000 items!
## Connections
Connections accept a {% internal_link "`max_page_size` option","/pagination/using_connections#max-page-size" %} which limits the number of nodes.
