Laravel Method paginate does not exist - laravel

Question

I am trying to paginate Model result, but I am getting "Method paginate does not exist.". Here is my code:
$user_dispatches = Dispatch::all()->where('user_id', Auth::id())->paginate(10);
I need to get all records where users id equals current authenticated users id. Works well without paginate() method.

Answer 1

Extending a bit Alexey's perfect answer :
Dispatch::all() => Returns a Collection
Dispatch::all()->where() => Returns a Collection
Dispatch::where() => Returns a Query
Dispatch::where()->get() => Returns a Collection
Dispatch::where()->get()->where() => Returns a Collection
You can only invoke "paginate" on a Query, not on a Collection.
And yes, it is totally confusing to have a where function for both Queries and Collections, working as close as they do, but it is what it is.

Answer 2

You need to remove all():
Dispatch::where('user_id', Auth::id())->paginate(10);
When you're using all() you get all the rows from the table and get a collection. Then you're using collection method where() (and not Query Builder method where()) and then you're trying to use paginate() method on the collection and it doesn't exist.

Answer 3

for use all recorde and pagination , you need use below code :
$user_dispatches = Disspath::paginate(8);

Answer 4

You need remove method all() :
$user_dispatches = Dispatch::where('user_id', Auth::id())->paginate(10);
Because all() return a Collection while paginate() used a Builder

Answer 5

The method toQuery() changes a collection to query:
$pacientes = Paciente::get()->toQuery()->paginate(20);

Answer 6

Dispatch::where('user_id', auth()->user()->id)->paginate(10);

Answer 7

You can create own custom class:
<?php
namespace App\CustomClasses;
use Illuminate\Container\Container;
use Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator;
use Illuminate\Pagination\Paginator;
use Illuminate\Support\Collection;
class ColectionPaginate
{
public static function paginate(Collection $results, $pageSize)
{
$page = Paginator::resolveCurrentPage('page');
$total = $results->count();
return self::paginator($results->forPage($page, $pageSize), $total, $pageSize, $page, [
'path' => Paginator::resolveCurrentPath(),
'pageName' => 'page',
]);
}
/**
* Create a new length-aware paginator instance.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Support\Collection $items
* #param int $total
* #param int $perPage
* #param int $currentPage
* #param array $options
* #return \Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator
*/
protected static function paginator($items, $total, $perPage, $currentPage, $options)
{
return Container::getInstance()->makeWith(LengthAwarePaginator::class, compact(
'items', 'total', 'perPage', 'currentPage', 'options'
));
}
}
and then use it:
use App\CustomClasses\ColectionPaginate;
...
$result = $query->limit(100)->get();
$paginatedResult = ColectionPaginate::paginate($result, 10);

Answer 8

**Solved
To Clarify the solution from above
Change...
$user_dispatches = Dispatch::all()->where('user_id', Auth::id())->paginate(10);
to
$user_dispatches = Dispatch::where('user_id', Auth::id())->paginate(10)
In another project I was attempting to return a view with my posts array and I was also able to paginate like this...In PostController
public function index()
{
$posts = Post::where('user_id', Auth::id());
return view('admin.posts.index', ['posts'=>$posts->paginate(5)]);
}
