Pagination Merge for Laravel 5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12

A simple Laravel pagination merge package that allows you to merge multiple ->paginate() instances.

Some Background

I had to deal with something like that in a project I was working on, where in one of the pages I had to display two types of publication paginated and sorted by the created_at field. In my case, it was a Post model and an Event Model (hereinafter referred to as publications).

The only difference is I didn't want to get all the publications from the database and then merge and sort the results, as you can imagine it would rise a performance issue if we have hundreds of publications.

So I figure out that it would be more convenient to paginate each model and only then, merge and sort them. that's why I built this package.

This package is heavily inspired by this stackoverflow answer

⚡️ Installation

For Laravel 5.5+

Require this package with composer:

composer require aneeskhan47/laravel-pagination-merge

For Laravel 5.0 to 5.4

Require this package with composer:

???? Usage

use App\Models\Post; use App\Models\Event; use Aneeskhan47\PaginationMerge\Facades\PaginationMerge; class PublicationsController extends Controller { /**  * Display a listing of the resource.  *  * @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request  * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response  */ public function index(Request $request) { $events = Event::latest()->paginate(5); $posts = Post::latest()->paginate(5); $publications = PaginationMerge::merge($events, $posts) ->sortByDesc('created_at') ->get(); // since get() will return \Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator // you can continue using paginator methods like these etc: $publications->withPath('/admin/users') ->appends(['sort' => 'votes']) ->withQueryString() ->fragment('users') ->setPageName('publications_page'); return view('publications.index', compact('publications')); } }
