README

This package is inspired by the original 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. (normal) /news/page/2, /novinky/stranka/2 or (dash) /news/page-2, /novinky/stranka-2. It is also possible to remove the word "page" from the URL ex. (simple) /news/2

Installation

Via Composer

$ composer require michaloravec/laravel-paginateroute

The package will automatically register itself.

You can publish the config-file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider=MichalOravec\PaginateRoute\PaginateRouteServiceProvider --tag="config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

<?php

return [

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Paginate Mode
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | This option controls the default mode that will be used to paginate
    | route for your application. By default, the normal mode is used;
    | however, you remain free to modify this option if you wish.
    |
    | Supported: "normal", "dash", "simple"
    |
    */

    'mode' => 'normal',

];

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', 'UsersController@index');

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="MichalOravec\PaginateRoute\PaginateRouteServiceProvider" --tag="lang"

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
