Paginate Collection

@mastermindlegion Create this service provider and add it to your config/app.php under providers key.

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator;
use Illuminate\Support\Collection;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class ExtendCollectionServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Bootstrap services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        Collection::macro('paginate', function ($perPage, $total = null, $page = null, $pageName = 'page') {
            $page = $page ?: LengthAwarePaginator::resolveCurrentPage($pageName);

            return new LengthAwarePaginator($this->forPage($page, $perPage), $total ?: $this->count(), $perPage, $page, [
                'path' => LengthAwarePaginator::resolveCurrentPath(),
                'pageName' => $pageName,
            ]);
        });
    }

    /**
     * Register services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function register()
    {
        //
    }
}

Hello, thank you for replie.

So as you said I have created and registered ExtendCollectionServiceProvider, but there is the same result, where I got fetched collection, but with no meta...

@mastermindlegion Format your code from your controller.

Its working fine, thank you :) after I cleared config cache https://tecadmin.net/clear-cache-laravel-5/

Thanks a lot. I hope its going to help someone

@mastermindlegion If it's correct answer could you mark it as best reply? Thanks.

the first paginated page return an array of objects -> [ objects- 4 paginated ] and after the ?page=2 + it returns an array [ extraObj.{ {paginated objects} } ]

Do you have clue how to get rid of the extra object? here:

Collection::macro('paginate', function ($perPage, $total = null, $page = null, $pageName = 'page') {
        $page = $page ?: LengthAwarePaginator::resolveCurrentPage($pageName);

        return new LengthAwarePaginator($this->forPage($page, $perPage), $total ?: $this->count(), $perPage, $page, [
            'path' => 'articles',
            'pageName' => $pageName,
        ]);
    });

Thank you a lot

This pagination on collection should work at same way like normal pagination in Query Builder, I don't have any problems with that.

Thanks for replie, this should be more explained

1.) The first return ?page=1 ->>>>>

response.data [
  {
    id: 1,
    user: {
      id: 1,
      full_name: 'test [email protected]',
      email: '[email protected]'
    },
    slug: 'davonte-sawayn-1',
    name: '1',
    body: 'Aliquam placeat veritatis alias sed et inventore. Animi animi amet recusandae qui voluptates quidem. Eos qui culpa aut molestias.',
    tags: [ [Object], [Object], [Object] ],
    time: {
      created_at: '2020-05-05T15:19:26.000000Z',
      updated_at: '2020-05-05T15:19:26.000000Z'
    }
  },
    ...... REST OF THE OBJECTS ....
]

2.) return after ?page=2 ++ ->>>>>>

response.data {
  '5': {
    id: 11,
    user: {
      id: 1,
      full_name: 'test [email protected]',
      email: '[email protected]'
    },
    slug: 'raphaelle-hudson-jr-1',
    name: '3',
    body: 'Maiores in ullam error odio accusantium rerum aliquam. Numquam explicabo fugiat facilis natus accusantium. Non et perferendis fugit in quas ipsum voluptate sit.',
    tags: [],
    time: {
      created_at: '2020-05-06T12:18:51.000000Z',
      updated_at: '2020-05-06T12:18:51.000000Z'
    }
  }

  ...... the rest
}

@michaloravec hello, it is correctly formated now, if you want to have a look :) thanks in advance

@mastermindlegion What did you change?

Code in ExtendCollectionServiceProvider:

  Collection::macro('paginate', function ($perPage, $total = null, $page = null, $pageName = 'page') {
            $page = $page ?: LengthAwarePaginator::resolveCurrentPage($pageName);

            return new LengthAwarePaginator($this->forPage($page, $perPage), $total ?: $this->count(), $perPage, 				$page, [
                'path' => 'articles',
                'pageName' => $pageName,
            ]);
        });

This is same as you said, didn't change anything

My controller:

 $collection = new ArticlesCollection(
      ArticleResource::collection(Article::with(['user', 'tags'])->get())->paginate(4));
     return $collection;

The first pagination ?page=1 returns:

response.data [
  {
    id: 1,
    user: {
      id: 1,
      full_name: 'test [email protected]',
      email: '[email protected]'
    },
    slug: 'davonte-sawayn-1',
    name: '1',
    body: 'Aliquam placeat veritatis alias sed et inventore. Animi animi amet recusandae qui voluptates quidem. Eos qui culpa aut molestias.',
    tags: [ [Object], [Object], [Object] ],
    time: {
      created_at: '2020-05-05T15:19:26.000000Z',
      updated_at: '2020-05-05T15:19:26.000000Z'
    }
  },
    ...... REST OF THE OBJECTS ....
]

I got array of objects as expected -> this is what I want, that s awesome,but

The returns after ?page= 2 and more always returns an object instead of arrays :( :

 {
  '5': {
    id: 11,
    user: {
      id: 1,
      full_name: 'test [email protected]',
      email: '[email protected]'
    },
    slug: 'raphaelle-hudson-jr-1',
    name: '3',
    body: 'Maiores in ullam error odio accusantium rerum aliquam. Numquam explicabo fugiat facilis natus accusantium. Non et perferendis fugit in quas ipsum voluptate sit.',
    tags: [],
    time: {
      created_at: '2020-05-06T12:18:51.000000Z',
      updated_at: '2020-05-06T12:18:51.000000Z'
    }
  }

  ...... the rest
}

It will be something wrong with ArticlesCollection and ArticleResource::collection

Because when use it like it works, of course this is just example, in this case you can just just normal paginate instead of get.

$items = Item::where('active', true)->get()->paginate(20);

I will dig deep into it. Thanks anyways for replies and help :). have a great day

@michaloravec Hello Michal, sorry for disturbing, but would you know how to add meta tags in this pagination?

Thank you very much. I'm certain it would help many people

This is my controller:

 $collection = new ArticlesCollection(
      ArticleResource::collection(Article::with(['user', 'tags'])->paginate(3)));
     return $collection;
    }

I don't know your structure of your resources, but you put there normal laravel pagination, not on collection, Also you have Resource collection inside of collection. There is documentation how to do it, but it work only for one resource.

Documentation: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/eloquent-resources#pagination

@michaloravec hey there, problem was that I wasn't using static collection. This example works well:

        return  ArticleResource::collection(Article::with(['user', 'tags'])->paginate(3));
