How do I do pagination on my code in Laravel? - laravel

Question

So my front-end Lists of Businesses are not in paginated style. But I do not know how to do it. Can anyone please help? The code I posted is in my BusinessListController.php
BusinessListController.php
`<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Models\Business;
use App\Models\Category;
use App\Models\Location;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class BusinessListController extends Controller
{
public function index(Request $request)
{
$businesses = Business::query()
->with('location')
->whereFilters($request->only(
['search', 'category', 'location']
))
->get();d
return view('pages.business-list', [
'businesses' => $businesses,
'locations' => Location::all(),
'categories' => Category::all()
]);
}
}`
And then here is the code for my view blade front-end
Business-List.blade.php
<div class="row business-list-row mx-auto">
#foreach ($businesses as $business)
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="card shadow border-light mb-3">
<img
src="https://cdn1.clickthecity.com/images/articles/content/5d6eba1f4795e0.58378778.jpg"
class="card-img-top" alt="...">
<div class="card-body">
<div class="d-flex justify-content-between">
<div>
<h4 class="card-title h6" style="font-weight: bold;">
{{Str::limit($business->name, 20, $end='...')}}
</h4>
<div class="">
<p class="card-text">
{{ $business->location?->name }}
</p>
<p class="card-text" style="color: #32a852;">
{{ $business->category?->name}}
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="align-self-center">
<a href="{{ route('store', $business->id) }}" class="btn btn-info stretched-link">
Visit
</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
#endforeach
</div>

Answer 1

So you need to do three things.
In Controller:
$businesses = Business::query()
->with('location')
->whereFilters($request->only(
['search', 'category', 'location']
))
->paginate(15);
put the number of items you need on a single page. here I put 15.
Put this under the </div> of your list.
{{ $business->links() }}
Put this inside the App\Providers\AppServiceProvider boot method.
use Illuminate\Pagination\Paginator;
public function boot()
{
Paginator::useBootstrapFive(); // or
Paginator::useBootstrapFour();
}
This depends upon which version of Bootstrap you are using.

Answer 2

Just remove ->get();d and add paginate
example
ModelName()->paginate();
