Select the first 10 rows - Laravel Eloquent

Question

So far I have the following model:

class Listing extends Eloquent {

}

I want a basic function that retrieves the first

Answer 1

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);
