Laravel Load More Pagination

, _(*1)

A package that will give you access to a LoadMorePagination trait where you can paginate your model's results with an initial number of items and then a different number of items on subsequent pages., _(*2)

This package does not implement any paginator interfaces or anything like that it simply returns a similar array to a paginator with the usual information such as last_page, current_page, data, etc., _(*3)

Usage

To install this package do the following:, _(*4)

composer require vitorf7/lv-loadmorepagination

Once installed you can use this in two ways. Either by imporating this into your Eloquent Model or using it in your Controller or Repository, etc., _(*5)

This package has an initial load of 9 items and subsequent load of 3., _(*6)

In a Model:, _(*7)

<?php

namespace App;

use VitorF7\LoadMorePagination\LoadMorePagination;

class Post extends Model
{
    use LoadMorePagination;
}

// in a controller action or something you can use it like so
Post::paginateLoadMore(); // Loads 9 on first page and 3 every page after that
Post::paginateLoadMore(8, 4); // Loads 8 on first page and 4 every page after that
Post::paginateLoadMore(4, 4); // Loads 4 on first page and 4 every page after that. However at this point you could just simply use Post::paginate(4). This package is better used when you need to load different amount of items from the first page

// You can use it after you do an eager load of relationship too. At least simple loads for now as it has not been tested with something more complex
Post::with('categories')->paginateLoadMore();

If you want to use it in a Controller, Repository, etc you need to pass 3 arguments. - 1st Argument is the inital load of items - 2nd Argument is the load of subsequent items - 3rd Argument is the Model you are trying to paginate, _(*8)

Like so:, _(*9)

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use VitorF7\LoadMorePagination\LoadMorePagination;

class PostsController extends Controller
{
    use LoadMorePagination;

    public function index()
    {
        $posts = $this->paginatedLoadMore(9, 3, new Post);

        return view('posts.index', compact('posts'));
    }
}

If you do not pass a model you will get a VitorF7\LoadMorePagination\ModelClassRequiredException, _(*10)
