Laravel Pagination and resource controller

Yes you can. Do it through URL query param. Just append name and the value like following http://127.0.0.1:8000/students?page=3&parameterName=parameterValue. Then in controller you can use request('parameterName').

@ynoth25 as example

url:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/students?page=3&status=1

controller https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/pagination#appending-query-string-values

$students = Student::when(
		request('status'),
		fn ($query) => $query->where('status', request('status'))
)
	->paginate()
	->withQueryString();

suppose you paginate a list of users, and in the table of users you want that if someone clicks on the username column, then the results should be sorted by that column. You might have an a tag on the heading

    <a href="{{ route('users.index',['sort' => 'username']) }}

so this will load the index page on page 1 and pass it the sort querystring

all good so far, but when you go to page 2, the querystring is lost, so in the controller you need to use the pagination appends method to add the querystring back into the pagination urls

https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/pagination#appending-query-string-values

@ynoth25 You can use something like Spatie’s query builder package to do the actual filtering in your index controller action.

To have the filters in the query string persist between pages, you can add withQueryString to the end of your paginate call:

$students = QueryBuilder::for(Student::query())
    ->allowedFilters([
        // Your allowed filters here...
    ])
    ->allowedSorts([
        // Your allowed sorts here...
    ])
    ->paginate()
    ->withQueryString();

// Return users in view

Now all of your pagination links (i.e. $students->links()) will contain any filtering or sorting values you add to the query string.
