How to use KNPPaginatorBundle to paginate results using Doctrine Repository?

Question

I\'m working on a Symfony2 project and I decided to use KNPPaginatorBundle to build an easy pagination system. So I created a Product entity and I want to add the paginator to i

Answer 1

I suggest using QueryBuilder in your ProductRepository and then passing that to the paginator:

ProductRepository extends EntityRepository
{
    // This will return a QueryBuilder instance
    public function findAll()
    {
        return $this->createQueryBuilder("p");
    }
}

In the controller:

$products = $productRepository->findAll();

// Creating pagnination
$paginator  = $this->get('knp_paginator');
$pagination = $paginator->paginate(
    $products,
    $this->get('request')->query->get('page', 1),
    20
);
