How to populate META and LINKS pagination on laravel? - php

Question

I need help to populate this kind of pagination on laravel eloquent.
{
"meta": {
"count": 10,
"total": 100
},
"links": {
"first": "http://localhost/page[limit]=10&page[offset]=0",
"last": "http://localhost/page[limit]=10&page[offset]=10",
"next": "http://localhost/page[limit]=10&page[offset]=10",
"prev": "null"
},
"data": [
{
"type": "checklists",
"id": "1"
}
]
}
I have tried this code on Laravel Eloquent.
$data = Model::select('type','id')->paginate(10);
return response()->json(
[
'data' => $data
],200
);
But it shows different format, there is no META and LINKS schema on data populated.
{
"data": {
"current_page": 1,
"data": [
{
"type": "Mechanical Equipment Sales Representative",
"id": 1
}
],
"first_page_url": "http://localhost?page=1",
"from": 1,
"last_page": 4,
"last_page_url": "http://localhost?page=4",
"next_page_url": "http://localhost?page=2",
"path": "http://localhost",
"per_page": 10,
"prev_page_url": null,
"to": 10,
"total": 39
}
}
How to do that? Please help?

You can use API resources: https://laravel.com/docs/eloquent-resources#pagination
Create a collection resource:
php artisan make:resource ModelCollection
Use it in your controller:
$data = Model::select('type','id')->paginate(10);
return new ModelCollection($data);
For Lumen, create a app/Http/Resources/ModelCollection.php file:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Resources;
use Illuminate\Http\Resources\Json\ResourceCollection;
class ModelCollection extends ResourceCollection
{
/**
* Transform the resource collection into an array.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #return array
*/
public function toArray($request)
{
return parent::toArray($request);
}
}
