Paginator on laravel 4.2 - laravel-4

I am new to laravel and I am trying to get a pagination function into my result pages, so I have the following function to generate results from query and I would like to have a pagination on the results page, but I don't seem to get it work correctly
public function showResults()
{
$selectedquery = Input::get('Annonces');
$what = Input::get('what');
$where = Input::get('where');
$results = DB::table('annonces')->where($selectedquery,'LIKE', '%'.$what.'%')
->where('Lieu','LIKE', '%'.$where.'%')
->get();
return View::make('results',array('results' => $results));
}
Any Help?

Well, for one, you're missing the call to ->paginate(n). Right now, your closure is ->get(), which returns all results for your annonces table. This is good, but doesn't work for pagination. Change the function like so:
$results = DB::table('annonces')->where($selectedquery,'LIKE', '%'.$what.'%')
->where('Lieu','LIKE', '%'.$where.'%')
->paginate(10);
This will return all results grouped into 10 results per page. Feel free to change that as you see fit.
Lastly, somewhere on your view where you display the results, you will need to use this code to display a page-viewer:
<?php echo $results->links(); ?>
<!-- OR -->
{{ $results->links(); }}
Also, be sure to check out the docs on Laravel's pagination. You'll find it's pretty comprehensive!

Laravel / Lumen $users = \App\User::find$Uid)->get();

normally i use this:
$users = \App\Users::where('age', '>=', '20')->paginate(20);
But if I use raw querys or use the get(); method from querybuilder, I got an array not a collection or a paginator instance as result.
How can I get my ->links(); from that array result?
Hope all is explained well. :-)
KR,
Marcel
Write{{ $users->links() }} in your view page. According to your query, pagination will show while your data return more than 20 rows.

Caching Eloquent models in Laravel 5.1

I've created an API using Laravel and I'm trying to find out how to cache Eloquent models. Lets take this example as one of the API endpoints /posts to get all the posts. Also within the method there are various filter options such as category and search and also gives the option to expand the user.
public function index()
{
$posts = Post::active()->ordered();
if (Input::get('category')) $posts = $posts->category(Input::get('category'));
if (Input::get('search')) $posts = $posts->search(Input::get('search'));
if ($this->isExpand('user')) $posts = $posts->with('user');
$posts = $posts->paginate($this->limit);
return $this->respondWithCollection($this->postTransformer->transformCollection($posts->all()), $posts);
}
I have been reading up and found in Laravel 4 you could cache a model like this
return Post::remember($minutes);
But I see this has been removed for Laravel 5.1 and now you have to cache using the Cache facade, but is only retrievable by a single key string.
$posts = Cache::remember('posts', $minutes, function()
{
return Post::paginate($this->limit);
});
As you can see, my controller method contains different options, so for the cache to be effective I would have to create a unique key for each option like posts_cagetory_5, posts_search_search_term, posts_category_5_search_search_term_page_5 and this will clearly get ridiculous.
So either I'm not coming across the right way to do this or the Laravel cache appears to have gone backwards. What's the best solution for caching this API call?
As the search is arbitrary, using a key based on the search options appears to be the only option here. I certainly don't see it as "ridiculous" to add a cache to for expensive DB search queries. I may be wrong as I came by this post looking for a solution to your exact problem. My code:
$itemId = 1;
$platform = Input::get('platform'); // (android|ios|web)
$cacheKey = 'item:' . $itemId . ':' . $platform;
$item = Item::find(1);
if( Cache::has($cacheKey) ) {
$result = Cache::get($cacheKey);
} else {
$result = $this->response->collection( $item, new ItemTransformer( $platform ) );
Cache::tags('items')->put($cacheKey, $result, 60); // Or whatever time or caching and tagged to be able to clear the lot in one go...
}
return $result;
I realise that my example has less complexity but it seems to cover all the bases for me. I then use an observer to clear the cache on update.

How to automatically append query string to laravel pagination links?

I am working on search filter on checkbox click, with Laravel and Ajax call. So I get results when I click on a checkbox. my query is as follows:
$editors = User::with(['editor.credentials','editor.specialties','editor.ratings']);
$temp=$editors->whereHas('editor', function($q) use ($a_data){
$q->whereHas('specialties',function($sq) use($a_data){
$sq->whereIn('specialty',$a_data);
});
})->paginate(2);
This gives me all the data I need. however how should I get the links for pagination?
$temp->setBaseUrl('editors');
$links = $temp->links()->render();
I am currently doing this and with $links which I am sending over as response to ajax call, I set the pagination with $links data. Now, I need to append the query to next page like page=2?query="something". I don't know how should I go about appending the remaining query result links to next page links. i.e. I don;t know what should come in the query="something" part. Can someone guide me. thanks
{{ $users->appends($_GET)->links() }}
It will append all query string parameters into pagination link
As of Laravel 7, you can call the withQueryString() method on your Paginator instance.
Quote from the documentation:
If you wish to append all current query string values to the pagination links you may use the withQueryString method:
{{ $users->withQueryString()->links() }}
See "Appending To Pagination Links": https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/pagination#displaying-pagination-results
Check the answer from #Arda, as it's global solution. Below you can find how to do it manually.
Use appends on Paginator:
$querystringArray = Input::only(['search','filter','order']); // sensible examples
// or:
$querystringArray = ['queryVar' => 'something', 'anotherVar' => 'something_else'];
$temp->appends($querystringArray);
Append all input except the actual page, form token and what you don't want to pass:
$paginatedCollection->appends($request->except(['page','_token']));
For the latest version of Laravel at the moment (5.2), you can just use the Request facade to retrieve the query string and pass that to your paginator's appends() method
$input = Request::input();
$myModelsPaginator = App\Models\MyModel::paginate();
$myModelsPaginator->appends($input);
Add this anywhere in your app (e.g routes.php, filters.php or anything that's autoloaded), no need to edit any pagination codes that is written already. This works flawlessly using view composers, and you don't need to know any query string parameters:
////////PAGINATION QUERY STRING APPEND
View::composer(Paginator::getViewName(), function($view) {
$queryString = array_except(Input::query(), Paginator::getPageName());
$view->paginator->appends($queryString);
});
//////////////////
Inspired from previous answers I ended up using the service container for both frontend + api support.
In your AppServiceProvider#boot() method:
$this->app->resolving(LengthAwarePaginator::class, function ($paginator) {
return $paginator->appends(array_except(Input::query(), $paginator->getPageName()));
});
you can used request helper in view as same
{{ $users->appends(request()->query())->links() }}
in your view where you display pagination...
{{ $results->appends(Request::except('page'))->links() }}
appends keeps the query string value except "page". not sure if it will work with POST request
{{ $users->appends(Request::only(['filter','search']))->links()}}
Updating #rasmus answer for Laravel 8.
In your AppServiceProvider boot method, add the following lines and your existing query string will be be used for all pagination links
$this->app->resolving(Paginator::class, function ($paginator) {
return $paginator->appends(Arr::except(Request::query(), $paginator->getPageName()));
});
$this->app->resolving(LengthAwarePaginator::class, function ($paginator) {
return $paginator->appends(Arr::except(Request::query(), $paginator->getPageName()));
});
And for completeness, use these classes:
use Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator;
use Illuminate\Pagination\Paginator;
use Illuminate\Support\Arr;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Request;

Laravel Pagination with appends() Error

I am new to Laravel and am using version 4.1.
I am attempting to query database using pagination and then run the results through the appends() function to add additional parameters to my URL.
Here is the code I am using
$query = DB::table('tableName');
$query->paginate(50);
$results = $query->get();
And that runs as desired. Now when I attempt to create the pagination list (Bootstrap default) and run the following code I get an error.
$pagination = $results->appends(array('key' => 'value'))->links();
This is the error I receive.
Call to a member function appends() on a non-object
I know I'm doing something wrong, I just can't figure out what...
Thanks in advance,
SC
I'm not familiar with the appends function, but you do have an error I can see. Try changing
$query = DB::table('tableName');
$query->paginate(50);
$results = $query->get();
To...
$query = DB::table('tableName');
if(Input::has('someinput')) {
$query->where('someinput', Input::get('someinput'));
}
if(Input::has('otherinput')) {
$query->where('otherinput', Input::get('otherinput'));
}
$results = $query->paginate(50);
Once you run paginate(), an instance of Paginator is returned. I don't see a get() method for Paginator though so I'm not sure how you weren't getting an error there.

Laravel Trying to get property of non-object but not sure why

I want to grab some data from a database and display on a layout page, I've basically started building a small CMS to get into Laravel and all has gone fine so far but now i'm at a wall, and can't find a solution.
I have a layout blade file like so: http://paste.laravel.com/1fB1 nothing majot but you will see i have used $page->meta_title etc in there and in my controller i have:
public function home()
{
$pages = Pages::all();
return View::make('frontend/home')->with('pages',$pages);
}
Which I have a pages model doing nothing else really like so:
class Pages extends Eloquent {
protected $table = 'pages';
}
So why is it trying to get property of non-object and I don't really want to use a foreach because this is going to be the frontend of my 'test' website so a foreach wouldn't suite.
You'll need to access these items as a multi-dimensional array if you don't want to loop through them.
$pages[0]['field_name_here']
or
$pages[1]['field_name_here']
Its a bit of a tough one to answer without knowing how you want your CMS to work.
For example, you could have a route as {pagename} in your routes.php file, then have a page controller where you would get the requested route from the variable passed in. This would then load the page you wanted using the variable
public function page( $pagename ) {
$page = Page::where('page_title', '=', $pagename)->first();
View::make('frontend/page', array( 'page' => $page ));
}
Using a route like that, and the controller, in your view you could use {{ $page->content }} to get the content of the requested page from the database and display it.
Hope this helps.
Edit: Example Route:
Route::get('{pagename}', 'PageController#page');
