pagination() generate relative URLs

To make the ->paginate() method in Laravel generate relative URLs instead of absolute URLs, you can use the Paginator::useBootstrap() method to customize the URL generation. However, Laravel's paginator by default generates absolute URLs. To achieve relative URLs, you can modify the URL generation logic by using a custom paginator view or by overriding the URL generation method.

Here's a simple way to achieve this by overriding the URL generation:

1. Create a Custom Paginator View:

   First, you need to publish the pagination views so you can customize them:

   php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-pagination
   

   This will copy the pagination views to resources/views/vendor/pagination.

2. Modify the Pagination View:

   Open the pagination view file you want to modify, for example, resources/views/vendor/pagination/bootstrap-4.blade.php.

3. Customize the URL Generation:

   In the pagination view, you can modify the URL generation logic. Replace the url method with a custom function that generates relative URLs. For example:

   @if ($paginator->hasPages())
       <ul class="pagination" role="navigation">
           {{-- Previous Page Link --}}
           @if ($paginator->onFirstPage())
               <li class="page-item disabled" aria-disabled="true" aria-label="@lang('pagination.previous')">
                   <span class="page-link" aria-hidden="true">&lsaquo;</span>
               </li>
           @else
               <li class="page-item">
                   <a class="page-link" href="{{ request()->url() . '?page=' . ($paginator->currentPage() - 1) }}" rel="prev" aria-label="@lang('pagination.previous')">&lsaquo;</a>
               </li>
           @endif
   
           {{-- Pagination Elements --}}
           @foreach ($elements as $element)
               {{-- "Three Dots" Separator --}}
               @if (is_string($element))
                   <li class="page-item disabled" aria-disabled="true"><span class="page-link">{{ $element }}</span></li>
               @endif
   
               {{-- Array Of Links --}}
               @if (is_array($element))
                   @foreach ($element as $page => $url)
                       @if ($page == $paginator->currentPage())
                           <li class="page-item active" aria-current="page"><span class="page-link">{{ $page }}</span></li>
                       @else
                           <li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="{{ request()->url() . '?page=' . $page }}">{{ $page }}</a></li>
                       @endif
                   @endforeach
               @endif
           @endforeach
   
           {{-- Next Page Link --}}
           @if ($paginator->hasMorePages())
               <li class="page-item">
                   <a class="page-link" href="{{ request()->url() . '?page=' . ($paginator->currentPage() + 1) }}" rel="next" aria-label="@lang('pagination.next')">&rsaquo;</a>
               </li>
           @else
               <li class="page-item disabled" aria-disabled="true" aria-label="@lang('pagination.next')">
                   <span class="page-link" aria-hidden="true">&rsaquo;</span>
               </li>
           @endif
       </ul>
   @endif
   

   In this example, request()->url() is used to get the current URL without the query string, and then '?page=' . $page is appended to create a relative URL.

By following these steps, you can customize the pagination links to use relative URLs in your Laravel application.
