🚨 THIS PACKAGE HAS BEEN ABANDONED 🚨

We don't use this package anymore in our own projects and cannot justify the time needed to maintain it anymore. That's why we have chosen to abandon it. Feel free to fork our code and maintain your own copy.

Laravel Paginate Route

This package adds the paginate route method to support pagination via custom routes instead of query strings. This also allows for easily translatable pagination routes ex. /news/page/2, /nieuws/pagina/2.

Spatie is a webdesign agency in Antwerp, Belgium. You'll find an overview of all our open source projects on our website.

Note: If you're upgrading to 2.0, check out the upgrade guide below.

Postcardware

You're free to use this package (it's MIT-licensed), but if it makes it to your production environment you are required to send us a postcard from your hometown, mentioning which of our package(s) you are using.

Our address is: Spatie, Samberstraat 69D, 2060 Antwerp, Belgium.

The best postcards will get published on the open source page on our website.

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require spatie/laravel-paginateroute

First register the service provider and facade in your application.

// config/app.php

'providers' => [
    ...
    'Spatie\PaginateRoute\PaginateRouteServiceProvider',
];

'aliases' => [
    ...
    'PaginateRoute' => 'Spatie\PaginateRoute\PaginateRouteFacade',
];

Then register the macros in App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider::boot().

// app/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php

use PaginateRoute;

// ...

public function boot()
{
    PaginateRoute::registerMacros();

    parent::boot();
}

Usage

The paginate route macro will register two routes for you.

// app/Http/routes.php

// Generates /users & /users/page/{page}
Route::paginate('users', '[email protected]');

In your route's action you can just use Laravel's regular pagination methods.

// app/Http/Controllers/UsersController.php

public function index()
{
    return view('users.index', ['users' => \App\User::simplePaginate(5)]);
}

If you want to customize or add translations for the "page" url segment, you can publish the language files.

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\PaginateRoute\PaginateRouteServiceProvider"

Generating Url's

Since Laravel's paginator url's will still use a query string, PaginateRoute has it's own url generator and page helper functions.

{{-- $users is an instance of \Illuminate\Contracts\Pagination\Paginator --}}

@if(PaginateRoute::hasPreviousPage())
  <a href="{{ PaginateRoute::previousPageUrl() }}">Previous</a>
@endif

@if(PaginateRoute::hasNextPage($users))
  <a href="{{ PaginateRoute::nextPageUrl($users) }}">Next</a>
@endif

The nextPage functions require the paginator instance as a parameter, so they can determine whether there are any more records.

/**
 * @param  \Illuminate\Contracts\Pagination\Paginator $paginator
 * @return int|null
 */
public function nextPage(Paginator $paginator)

/**
 * @param  \Illuminate\Contracts\Pagination\Paginator $paginator
 * @return bool
 */
public function hasNextPage(Paginator $paginator)

/**
 * @param  \Illuminate\Contracts\Pagination\Paginator $paginator
 * @return string|null
 */
public function nextPageUrl(Paginator $paginator)

/**
 * @return int|null
 */
public function previousPage()

/**
 * @return bool
 */
public function hasPreviousPage()

/**
 * @param  bool $full
 * @return string|null
 */
public function previousPageUrl($full = false)

/**
 * @param int  $page
 * @param bool $full
 * @return string
 */
public function pageUrl($page, $full = false)

If $full is true, the first page will be a fully qualified url. Ex. /users/page/1 instead if just /users (this is the default).

To retrieve the url of a specific page of a paginated route, that isn't the current route, there's the addPageQuery function.

/**
 * @param string $url
 * @param int $page
 * @param bool $full
 * @return string
 */
public function addPageQuery($url, $page, $full = false)

You can also retrieve an array with all available urls. These can be rendered as a plain html list with page numbers. Note that these functions require a LengthAwarePaginator.

/**
 * @param  \Illuminate\Contracts\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator $paginator
 * @param  bool $full
 * @return array
 */
public function allUrls(LengthAwarePaginator $paginator, $full = false)

/**
 * @param  \Illuminate\Contracts\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator $paginator
 * @param  bool $full
 * @param  string $class
 * @param  bool $additionalLinks
 * @return string
 */
public function renderPageList(LengthAwarePaginator $paginator, $full = false, $class = null, $additionalLinks = false)

<!-- Example output: -->
<ul class="pagination">
    <li><a href="http://example.com/news">1</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://example.com/news/page/2">2</a></li>
    <li class="active"><a href="http://example.com/news/page/3">3</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://example.com/news/page/4">4</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://example.com/news/page/4">&raquo;</a></li>
</ul>

You can render link tags to mark previous and next page for SEO. Note that these functions require a LengthAwarePaginator.

/**
 * @param  \Illuminate\Contracts\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator $paginator
 * @param  bool $full
 * @return string
 */
public function renderRelLinks(LengthAwarePaginator $paginator, $full = false)

<!-- Example output: -->
<link rel="prev" href="http://example.com/news/page/2" />
<link rel="next" href="http://example.com/news/page/4" />

Tests

The package contains some integration/smoke tests, set up with Orchestra. The tests can be run via phpunit.

$ phpunit

Upgrading

1.x => 2.0

The 2.0 release changes the route macro to only register one route with the entire query in it, so providing a page parameter to the action link is no longer possible.

For example, action('[email protected]', ['page' => 3]) is no longer possible, and should be replaced by PaginateRoute::addPageQuery(action('[email protected]'), 3).
