Laravel 5 Pagination Customisation - php

Question

In Laravel 5, I am using simplePagination as outlined in the docs. I would like to customise the output so instead of double chevrons &rdaquo; '>>', I could put a right arrow. However I can't seen anywhere to customise it.
Does anyone know where the documentation for this is? Or where to begin looking?

While it is undocumented, it is certainly possible. It's pretty much the same as for Laravel 4. Basically all you need to is create a custom presenter and wrap the paginator instance.
Here's how a presenter might look like:
use Illuminate\Contracts\Pagination\Paginator;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Pagination\Presenter;
use Illuminate\Pagination\BootstrapThreeNextPreviousButtonRendererTrait;
use Illuminate\Pagination\UrlWindow;
use Illuminate\Pagination\UrlWindowPresenterTrait;
class CustomPresenter implements Presenter
{
use BootstrapThreeNextPreviousButtonRendererTrait, UrlWindowPresenterTrait;
private $paginator;
private $window;
public function __construct(Paginator $paginator, UrlWindow $window = null)
{
$this->paginator = $paginator;
$this->window = is_null($window) ? UrlWindow::make($paginator) : $window->get();
}
public function render()
{
if ($this->hasPages()) {
return sprintf(
'<ul class="pagination">%s %s %s</ul>',
$this->getPreviousButton("Previous"),
$this->getLinks(),
$this->getNextButton("Next")
);
}
return null;
}
public function hasPages()
{
return $this->paginator->hasPages() && count($this->paginator->items() !== 0);
}
protected function getDisabledTextWrapper($text)
{
return '<li class="disabled"><span>'.$text.'</span></li>';
}
protected function getActivePageWrapper($text)
{
return '<li class="active"><span>'.$text.'</span></li>';
}
protected function getDots()
{
return $this->getDisabledTextWrapper("...");
}
protected function currentPage()
{
return $this->paginator->currentPage();
}
protected function lastPage()
{
return $this->paginator->lastPage();
}
protected function getAvailablePageWrapper($url, $page, $rel = null)
{
$rel = is_null($rel) ? '' : ' rel="'.$rel.'"';
return '<li><a href="'.htmlentities($url).'"'.$rel.'>'.$page.'</a></li>';
}
}
Then from your controller:
public function index()
{
$users = User::paginate(5);
$presenter = new CustomPresenter($users);
return view("home.index")->with(compact('users', 'presenter'));
}
The view:
#foreach ($users as $user)
<div>{{ $user->email }}</div>
#endforeach
{!! $presenter->render() !!}
