Laravel pagination append data in one variable and other in another variable - php

Question

I am facing a problem in laravel pagination. In laravel when I called paginate() method it returns
{
"total": 50,
"per_page": 15,
"current_page": 1,
"last_page": 4,
"first_page_url": "http://laravel.app?page=1",
"last_page_url": "http://laravel.app?page=4",
"next_page_url": "http://laravel.app?page=2",
"prev_page_url": null,
"path": "http://laravel.app",
"from": 1,
"to": 15,
"data":[
{
// Result Object
},
{
// Result Object
}
]
}
This type of Object. What I want is that I want to set data in one vairable for example $a and except data all other value in $b.
But when I added appends('data') of my paginate variable it did not working correctly. I did not find a solution after googling it. Please help me to solve this.
Here is User model
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
class User extends Authenticatable {
use Notifiable;
use SoftDeletes;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'email', 'password', 'status', 'role_id',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
}
My Controller Code is
public function index() {
$users = User::where('status', 1)->paginate(10);
return response()->json(
[
'error' => 0,
'errorMsg' => '',
'data' => [
'users' => $users->appends('data')->toArray(),
],
]
);
}
I tried this code
return response()->json(
[
'error' => 0,
'errorMsg' => '',
'data' => [
'users' => $users->only($user['data'])->toArray(),
'users_pagination' => $users->except($user['data'])->toArray(),
],
]
);
In this users work correctly but users_pagination not working correctly. In both the users, users_pagination returns same value

Answer 1

Try this
$paginateData = User::where('status', 1)->paginate(10);
$arrPaginateData = $paginateData->toArray();
$users = $arrPaginateData['data'];
unset($arrPaginateData['data']); //remove data from paginate array
$pageInfo = $arrPaginateData;
Return in response
return response()->json(
[
'error' => 0,
'errorMsg' => '',
'data' => [
'users' => $users,
'users_pagination' => $pageInfo
],
]
);

Answer 2

Why not try to iterate the object? the below code will attached user specific data into each users.
public function index() {
$users = User::where('status', 1)->paginate(10);
foreach($users as $users){
$users->data = 'your data here';
}
return response()->json([
'error' => 0,
'errorMsg' => '',
'data' => [
'users' => $users,
],
]
);
}
If you want to use Laravel appends you have to follow as per the document.
