# Collection.and()

#### Syntax

```javascript
collection.and(filter)
```

#### Parameters

#### Return Value

This Collection instance (**this**)

#### Remarks

This method is identical to Collection.filter()

#### Sample

```javascript
const collection = db.friends
  .where('age').above(25)
  .and(friend => /foo/i.test(friend.name));
  
const result = await collection.offset(50).limit(25).toArray();
```

*The sample uses the `age` index for filter (and sorting implicitly), and adds a javascript filter that only accepts friends who's name contains the word "foo" (case insensitive). It also uses paging with offset/limit on this result that is sorted by the index used (`age`).*
