Select the first 10 rows - Laravel Eloquent

Another way to do it is using a limit method:

Listing::limit(10)->get();

This can be useful if you're not trying to implement pagination, but for example, return 10 random rows from a table:

Listing::inRandomOrder()->limit(10)->get();

First you can use a Paginator. This is as simple as:

$allUsers = User::paginate(15);

$someUsers = User::where('votes', '>', 100)->paginate(15);

The variables will contain an instance of Paginator class. all of your data will be stored under data key.

Or you can do something like:

Old versions Laravel.

Model::all()->take(10)->get();

Newer version Laravel.

Model::all()->take(10);

The simplest way in laravel 5 is:

return view('view.name',compact('listings'));
