pagination results different ways in laravel - php

Question

I have seen two ways of paginations I would like to know the differences between them. Or if there is a strict way to use either of them. Please don't mind the type of data used in the example.
First one
public function rules()
{
return [
'query_value' => 'string',
'status' => ['string', Rule::in(BaseModel::STATUS_CODES)],
'pagination' => 'integer',
];
}
public function paginationResult()
{
return !is_null($this->get('pagination')) && $this->get('pagination') > 0 ? $this->get('pagination') : 10;
}
in a controller
$this->itemsPerPage = $filterRequest->paginationResult();
Second one
$users = User::where('votes', '>', 100)->paginate(10);

Answer 1

FormRequest class
class UserRequest extends FormRequest
{
public function rules()
{
return [
'query_value' => 'string',
'status' => ['string', Rule::in(BaseModel::STATUS_CODES)],
'pagination' => 'integer',
];
}
public function paginationValue()
{
return $this->pagination ?: 10;
}
}
Then in controller
public function index(UserRequest $request)
{
$users = User::where('votes', '>', 100)->paginate($request->paginationValue());
//...rest of method code
}
The paginate() method will return an instance of Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator which means that you can display links like 1 2 ......9 10 - numbers show the page numbers for paginated results
Another way to paginate is using simplePaginate() which will return an instance of Illuminate\Pagination\Paginator, which means you can display links as Prev Next
