Laravel Multiple Pagination in one page

Question

I\'m having some trouble with my pagination. I\'m having two tables with data from a database and I paginated it with laravel Paginator.

Now my problem is when you g

Answer 1

Laravel 5.7

Model->paginate(10, ['*'], 'paramName');

10 = Max items per page

['*'] = colums

paramName = pagination param name

Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder

Answer 2

Unfortunately I can't test this code right now, but browsing at the docs and the code (in Illuminate/Pagination/Environment) I guess you could something like this:

# use default 'page' for this
$collection1 = Model::paginate(20);

# use custom 'other_page' for this
$collection2 = Model2::paginate(20);
$collection2->setPageName('other_page');

The setPageName() method isn't documented in the docs, but it's a public method alongside those indicated in the documentation, so it should be working fine. FOr reference, this is the declaration (l. 171-180 in vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Pagination/Environment.php):

/**
 * Set the input page parameter name used by the paginator.
 *
 * @param  string  $pageName
 * @return void
 */
public function setPageName($pageName)
{
    $this->pageName = $pageName;
}

Now take into consideration that you will have another query string appended to the url, so you need to tell the pagination to consider it. Use the appends() method:

$collection1->appends(array_except(Request::query(), 'page'))->links();

$collection2->appends(array_except(Request::query(), 'other_page'))->links();

That is, tell each Presenter to build up the url with all the query strings (the array resulting from Request::query() without the current index used by the paginator, or you'll end up with a double value). array_except() is a Laravel built in array helper that returns the given array (1st parameter) purged of the passed index (2nd parameter).

I'll try to test this code as soon as I can, but it should work. Let me know in any case!

Use:

$var1 = DB1::orderBy('...')->paginate(5, ['*'], '1pagination');

$var2 = DB2::orderBy('...')->paginate(5, ['*'], '2pagination');

For Laravel 5.2

Answer 4

In Laravel 5.2, declare the page name when using paginate().

Here is an example that works with multiple paginators on a page.

• Be sure to specify a different $pageName for other models.

See the method \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder::paginate()

/**
 * Get things by ownerId
 *
 * @param integer $ownerId The owner ID.
 *
 * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator Returns a pagination instance.
 */
public function getThings($ownerId)
{
    $builder = \App\Models\Things::where('ownerId', '=', (integer) abs($ownerId));

    // dd([
    //     '__METHOD__' => __METHOD__,
    //     '__FILE__' => __FILE__,
    //     '__LINE__' => __LINE__,
    //     '$ownerId' => $ownerId,
    //     'sql' => $builder->toSql(),
    //     '$builder' => $builder,
    //     'paginate' => $builder->paginate($perPage = null, $columns = ['*'], $pageName = 'p', $page = null),
    // ]);

    return $builder->paginate($perPage = null, $columns = ['*'], $pageName = 'p', $page = null);
}

Note: $pageName = 'p'
