In basic pagination we get some next url for loading more data, but if those data have more data with pagination as well, how can I customize and use different parameters for different data:
?page=2 to ?posts=2&comments=1
And then use one for one, other for other..
I am using api resource with main UserResource which returns posts with PostsResource which uses pagination and returns CommentsResource whicch uses pagination as well.
The paginate method accepts a $pageName argument. The method is -
public function paginate($perPage = 15, $columns = ['*'], $pageName = 'page', $page = null),
so you could do something like ->paginate(15, '[*]', 'posts) and same for comments.
@tisuchi Where can I find these in docs I looked everywhere? :D So basically I can use any link and pass into paginate parameter and page number? something like: ?posts=2&comments=1 ->paginate(15, '[*]', 'posts', $request->query('posts')) for postsResource and same for commentsResource? :D
You can change the page name in the pagination.
This is un-documented, but the paginate method looks like this:
public function paginate($perPage = 15, $columns = ['*'], $pageName = 'page', $page = null) {
So you can set the pageName parameter like this:
Post::paginate(15, '[*]', 'posts')
Comment::paginate(15, '[*]', 'comments')
If you were using blade, it might look like this:
$posts->appends(array_except(Request::query(), 'posts'))->links();
$comments->appends(array_except(Request::query(), 'comments'))->links();
Considering you are using an API, you could access the current page using the meta key.
eg.
posts.meta.current_page
comments.meta.current_page
There is also a setPageName method where you can set the pageName
eg.
$posts = Post::paginate(15);
$posts->setPageName('posts');
@tisuchi oh my, thank you so much! adding a div after the template to wrap everything in made it work!
