Pagination¶

If you want to add easy pagination, you can add the LaravelDoctrine\ORM\Pagination\PaginatesFromRequest trait to your repositories. It offers two methods: paginateAll($perPage = 15, $pageName = 'page') and paginate($query, $perPage, $pageName = 'page', $fetchJoinCollection = true).

paginateAll will work out of the box, and will return all (non-deleted, when soft-deletes are enabled) entities inside Laravel’s LengthAwarePaginator.

If you want to add pagination to your custom queries, you will have to pass the query object through paginate().

public function paginateAllPublishedScientists($perPage = 15, $pageName = 'page')
{
    $builder = $this->createQueryBuilder('o');
    $builder->where('o.status = 1');

    return $this->paginate($builder->getQuery(), $perPage, $pageName);
}

The PaginatesFromRequest trait uses Laravel’s Request object to fetch current page, just as Eloquent does by default. If this doesn’t fit your scenario, you can also take advantage of pagination in Doctrine with the LaravelDoctrine\ORM\Pagination\PaginatesFromParams trait:

namespace App\Repositories;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator;
use LaravelDoctrine\ORM\Pagination\PaginatesFromParams;

class DoctrineScientistRepository
{
    use PaginatesFromParams;

    /**
    * @return Scientist[]|LengthAwarePaginator
    */
    public function all(int $limit = 8, int $page = 1): LengthAwarePaginator
    {
        // paginateAll is already public, you may use it directly as well.
        return $this->paginateAll($limit, $page);
    }

    /**
    * @return Scientist[]|LengthAwarePaginator
    */
    public function findByName(string $name, int $limit = 8, int $page = 1): LengthAwarePaginator
    {
        $query = $this->createQueryBuilder('s')
            ->where('s.name LIKE :name')
            ->orderBy('s.name', 'asc')
            ->setParameter('name', "%$name%")
            ->getQuery();

        return $this->paginate($query, $limit, $page);
    }
}
