Array Limit (500) To View Blade?

Just learning Laravel/PHP, and I have this set:

  • variable $user_table with +500 records in array

---controller--- dd($user_table); return view('users', compact('user_table'));

---blade--- @dd($user_table)

In Controller it is returning all records, In Blade View it only shows the first 500 records. Why? Not sure if its because Pagination, but I do not want to do anything with pagination yet, so how to disable the chunk?

We need to see some more of your code to see what is going on :) Show the full method in the controller, and the view

I also suggest doing this to check the count

@dd($user_table->count())

Not much to show really, i just have a full set of users with key/values which im gonna loop in the view using foreach... Im getting only the first 500users in the array, see array below.

In Controller im getting the full set of users (1993), in View i only get 500, wheres that limit coming from.

If you don't show any code, you could be making a stupid mistake.

There's not much to show, blade view is empty, im just passing the variable (which is an array of keys/values) from controller to blade view and DD in blade view to see what im getting. Blade view is now returning only the first 500 in array not the 1993 that im seeing in the controller.

The only thing thats relevant is: Controller:

//dd($user_table); //Displays 1993 records as shown in screenshot (i.imgur.com/xCFpX90.png)
return view('users', compact('user_table'));

Blade View:

@dd($user_table); //Only returns the first 500 records as shown in screenshot (i.imgur.com/zznlWMw.png)

Thanks for the fast replies btw...

@Snapey Ok thnx, below the full code, as i said, theres not much in there, just a function that collects users and store in variable (array) and outputs to blade view. Im currently getting 500 results in the blade view instead of the +1900 that are in the array and which is outputted correctly in the controller. So when i pass the variable to the view its getting (automatically) chunked?

Controller:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;

class MyController extends Controller
{
	public function FetchAllUsers() {
		$token = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX;
		$url = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;
		try{
			$guzzleResponse = Http::withOptions([
				'verify' => false,
				'headers' => [
					'Accept'     => 'application/json',
					'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
					'Authorization' => "$token",
				]
			])->GET($url);
			if ($guzzleResponse->getStatusCode() == 200) {
				$response = json_decode($guzzleResponse->getBody()->getContents(), true);

				foreach($response['results'] as $i){
					$user_table[] = $i;
				}
			}	
			//dd($user_table);
			return view('users', compact('user_table'));
			}
		} catch (ClientException $exception) {
			echo Psr7\Message::toString($exception->getResponse());
			echo "\n-----------------------------------------------------\n";
		}
	}
}

Route:

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\UserManagementController;
use App\Http\Controllers\HomeController;
use App\Http\Controllers\MyController;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
Route::get('/users', [MyController::class, 'FetchAllUsers']);

Blade View:

@dd($user_table)

@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
    <div class="container">
        <div class="row justify-content-center">
            <div>
                <div>
					<table class="table text-nowrap table-hover">
						@foreach( $user_table as $items )
						<tbody>
							<tr>
								<td>{{ $items['id'] }}</td>
								<td>{{ $items['modified'] }}</td>
								<td>{{ $items['username'] }}</td>
								<td>{{ $items['first_name'] }}</td>
								<td>{{ $items['middle_name'] }}</td>
								<td>{{ $items['last_name'] }}</td>
								<td>{{ $items['email'] }}</td>
								<td>{{ $items['display_name'] }}</td>
								<td>{{ $items['gender'] }}</td>
								<td>{{ $items['birth_date'] }}</td>
								<td>{{ $items['address'] }}</td>
								<td>{{ $items['zipcode'] }}</td>
								<td>{{ $items['city'] }}</td>
							</tr>
						</tbody>
						@endforeach
					</table>
				</div>
			</div>
		</div>
	</div>
@endsection

@patrick1981 remove dd, and add a counter to your table, eg

<td>{{ $loop->iteration }}</td>
patrick1981's avatar

@Snapey Done, its still only showing 1-500 users.

As i said before, when passing the variable (array) to the view its getting automatically chunked for some reason, i want to know the reason. Is it maybe because of automatic pagination and where do i turn that off or what could be the culprint here?

Thats why i dd variable in Controller and in View, in Controller im getting the full set of users (total array of 1993), in View im only getting 500 (total array of 500). Why?

@patrick1981 There must be something we arent seeing. I just did the exact same (except I just used a table with data as I dont have your http endpoint to test with). As you can see it renders more that 4000 items without any issue

@patrick1981 Are you using a local API written in laravel, or are you using an external one?

I know that some restservices limits their results to 500 records, and then provide pagination for the next 500. To verify that, do a dd on the response

$response = json_decode($guzzleResponse->getBody()->getContents(), true);
dd($response);

My guess is that it only contains 500 records and a pagination link to the next page.

patrick1981's avatar

@Tray2 Bingo!

array:4 [▼ // app\Http\Controllers\MyController.php:85
  "count" => 1997
  "next" => "https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/?page=2"
  "previous" => null
  "results" => array:500 [▶]
]

So i need to do a recursive function and preserve the array?

Sinnbeck's avatar

@patrick1981 So when you were showing sceenshots of the array having 1997 items, that was of something else ?

patrick1981's avatar

It's fixed now. Thanks for all the replies.

while ($response['next']) {
				return $this->FetchAllUsers($response['next'], $user_table);
}	
return view('users', compact('user_table'));

Did the trick...
