Laravel - Paginate and get()

Question

With the code below, what I wanted was paginate the query I created. But, when I try to add paginate after get, it throws an error. I wanted to remain get since I want to li

Answer 1

If you look at the method signature you will see that paginate receives a second argument, $columns. So your solution would be to use

->paginate($this->limit, $this->fields);

Furthermore, you can clean up your controller by changing things slightly:

public function index()
{

    $query = Phones::join('manufacturers', 'manufacturers_id', '=', 'manufacturers.id');

    if ( Request::query('str') ) {
        $query->where('model', 'LIKE', '%'. Request::query('str') . '%')
    }

    $phones = $query->paginate($this->limit, $this->fields);

    return view('phones.index')->with('phones', $phones);
}
