Laravel 5 - Manual pagination
You need to add use:
use Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator as Paginator;
and now you can use:
$paginator = new Paginator($items, $count, $limit, $page, [
'path' => $this->request->url(),
'query' => $this->request->query(),
]);
to get data in the same format as paginating on model object;
Example of using the Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator
:
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator;
public function getItems(Request $request)
{
$items = []; // get array/collection data from somewhere
$paginator = $this->getPaginator($request, $items);
// now we can treat $paginator as an array/collection
return view('some-view')->with('items', $paginator);
}
private function getPaginator(Request $request, $items)
{
$total = count($items); // total count of the set, this is necessary so the paginator will know the total pages to display
$page = $request->page ?? 1; // get current page from the request, first page is null
$perPage = 3; // how many items you want to display per page?
$offset = ($page - 1) * $perPage; // get the offset, how many items need to be "skipped" on this page
$items = array_slice($items, $offset, $perPage); // the array that we actually pass to the paginator is sliced
return new LengthAwarePaginator($items, $total, $perPage, $page, [
'path' => $request->url(),
'query' => $request->query()
]);
}
Then in some-view.blade.php file, for example:
@foreach($items as $item)
{{-- --}}
@endforeach
{{ $items->links() }}
