Laravel pagination with specific foreign key - php

Question

I need to make pagination in Laravel, and as I read laravel documentation here is a several way to do it. but in my cases it is a little bit complexity. So let say I've two table in my DB, table1 and table2(many to many relationship), I want to paginate table1 with specific ids. So I mean if table1 contains ids 1,2,3,4,5 ... n, I want to paginate only rows which id is 2 and 3
I have tried :
private function check_wear($type){
$products_id = array(); //here is ids which $type is set as 'ON'
$wears = DB::select("SELECT prod_id FROM wears WHERE ".$type." = 'on' "); //Select specific products ids. (in our case it is **table1**)
foreach ($wears as $wr){
array_push($products_id,$wr->prod_id);
}
return $products_id; //return array with ids which should be paginate
}
public function hat($locale){
$hat_prod_ids = $this->check_wear('coat');
$p=12;
$products = DB::table('products')->paginate($p); // 12 per page
dd($products);
my code only paginate one table with all data, is there any built-in function to somehow write a logic condition? for pagination

Answer 1

If you need to filter your pagination with elements which you've in $hat_prod_ids, you're able to use WhereIn() method, that one checks if your elements (in our case ids) exist in your $hat_prod_ids and returns true or false
$products = DB::table('products')
->whereIn('id',$hat_prod_ids)
->paginate($p);
add that code and now you will be able to paginate only that ids which is matched in your array
