Multiple distinct(['field_a', 'field_b']) with paginate()

Problem

• ORM select return error when calculate total rows for pagination

SomeModel::select(['*'])
    ->distinct(['field_a', 'field_b'])
    ->orderBy('field_a')
    ->orderBy('field_b')
    ->paginate($perPage)

• Exception example

SQLSTATE[42883]: Undefined function: 7 ERROR: function count(bigint, bigint) does not exist\nLINE 1: select count(distinct \"field_a\", \"field_b\") as aggregate from \"...\n

Install

composer require larahook/distinct-on-pagination

Usage

• Add DistinctOnPagination trait in SomeModel class
• Pagination total must be calc without Exception

class SomeModel extends Model
{
    use DistinctOnPagination; // <-- add DistinctOnPagination trait
    use HasFactory;

    /** @var string */
    protected $table = 'some_table';
}

Config

• You can also publish the config file to change implementations (concat delimiter)
