How to use pagination in laravel 5 with Raw query

Question

I have a simple question and I didn´t find what I need.

I need to calculate the distance between t2 geocode points for a list of Stores. I also need it to be paginat

Answer 1

Use the selectRaw method on the Eloquent model.

Store::selectRaw('*, distance(lat, ?, lng, ?) as distance', [$lat, $lon])
    ->orderBy('distance')
    ->paginate(10);

In that case Laravel asks the database for the amount of rows (using select count(*) as aggregate from stores) which saves your RAM.
