Laravel's Illuminate paginator can't find query string - php

Question

I'm working on a old PHP project, that is running in legacy SQL query, which is good but I like to use query builders like Laravel Illuminate SQL package!
So i have added all required package dependencies to run Illuminate SQL, and this query builder seems to work fine with pagination!
$users = Capsule::table('users')->paginate(1)->toArray();
But, the paginator seems not to be able to listen the query string! For example, by running the above code it would give some properties like, next_page , previous_page etc...
And when I try to pass the query string in the URL it can't fetch the data from query string(From the GET request)!
Visiting this page http://app.app/?page=2 would give the same result set.
How i should configure the Illuminate sql package so it can also listen to the query strings?
EDIT
Also, i've tried to use the illuminate/http package, but the $request->all() method always returns an empty array! Here is the code:
<?php
require_once './vendor/autoload.php';
use \Illuminate\Http\Request;
$req = new Request();
echo '<pre>';
print_r($req->all());
echo '</pre>';
It returns empty input data array,
What i am missing to use the http package, any idea would be helpful.

Answer 1

You have to set a page resolver:
\Illuminate\Pagination\Paginator::currentPageResolver(function ($pageName = 'page') {
return (int) ($_GET[$pageName] ?? 1);
});
Laravel uses this resolver.

Answer 2

You need to notice, that paginator won't use other parameters for query string - it just uses page parameter to get valid results page. But for example if you use:
http://app.app/?page=2&price=2
it won't take from database results with price = 2 - it's your job to do this.
However the 2nd thing are urls generated by paginator.
If you do it like this:
$users = Capsule::table('users')->paginate(1);
You can also use in next line
$users->appends(request()->except('page'));
This will add all other parameters from query string (except page) to urls, so first_page_url will then contain all other parameters from request.
You can also wrap it using fluent syntax like this:
$users = Capsule::table('users')->paginate(1)->appends(request()->except('page'));

Answer 3

You need to fetch the query string in the controller to pass the get parameter to
paginate.
You can use the Illuminate\Http\Request class to receive and use the HTTP payload.
Your controller file:
<?php
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class YourControllerClassName{
public function someFunction(Request $request){
echo "<pre>";
print_r($request->all());
print_r($request->input('page'));
$users = Capsule::table('users')->paginate($request->input('page'))->toArray();
}
}
