Laravel - Paginate and get()
- by Bajongskie
With the code below, what I wanted was paginate the query I created. But, when I try to add paginate after get, it throws an error. I wanted to remain get since I want to limit to columns that was set on $fields.
What would should be the better idea to paginate this thing? or what's a good substitute for get and limit the columns?
What I tried:
->get($this->fields)->paginate($this->limit)
Part of my controller:
class PhonesController extends BaseController {
protected $limit = 5;
protected $fields = array('Phones.*','manufacturers.name as manufacturer');
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* @return Response
*/
public function index()
{
if (Request::query("str")) {
$phones = Phone::where("model", 'LIKE', '%'. Request::query('str') . '%')
->join('manufacturers', 'manufacturers_id', '=', 'manufacturers.id')
->get($this->fields);
} else {
$phones = Phone::join('manufacturers', 'manufacturers_id', '=', 'manufacturers.id')
->get($this->fields);
}
return View::make('phones.index')->with('phones', $phones);
}
}
