How to use Laravel pagination in loop
Hello everyone, I am trying to store my API resource response in .json file. I'm having two issue i don't how i can get data of next page in the loop and the second issue is i cant store data of $response in .json file until i write $response->toJson() . but this for some reason removes meta data
$posts = Post::paginate(10);
for ($i=1; $i <= $posts->lastPage(); $i++) {
// get posts from 2nd page and so on..
$response = PostApiResource::collection($posts);
return Storage::disk('local')->put("posts{$i}.json", $response);
}
please help. Thanks

@jlrdw I am not going to display paginated data from this endpoint. I'm just trying to create.json a file from my controller that's it

@kuns25 try some examples from the API Resources chapter from the documentation:

@jlrdw yes brother I'm using API resources I'm getting perfect responses, I want to extract that response in a JSON file

@kuns25 json is text just write it to a file, no different than any text you write to a file.
Just curious, why write it to a file.

@jlrdw I need to share the .json file with my client and the pagination has 3000+ pages, it would be great if I can automate this thing
Storage::disk('local')->put('test.txt', 'my-text'); // this works
$response = PostApiResource::collection($posts);
Storage::disk('local')->put("posts{$i}.json",$response); // this creates the file with no data in it but when I return $response it has data in it.

To convert a model to JSON, you should use the
toJsonmethod

@MohamedTammam I'll try this thanks

@kuns25 I still don't understand why you need to write it to a file, just include pagination in your results and a client can view it directly.

Alright guys I end up doing it in a creepy way , but as long as it works
$posts = Post::select('id')->paginate(10);
for ($i=1; $i <= $posts->lastPage(); $i++) {
$response = Http::get("http://dev.my-domain.com/api/posts?page={$i}")->json();
Storage::disk('public')->put("posts/posts{$i}.json", json_encode($response));
}

Even better approach to call API internally
$request = Request::create('/api/posts?page=1', 'GET');
$res = app()->handle($request)->getContent();
return Storage::disk('public')->put("posts/posts1.json", $res);
