Laravel Method paginate does not exist

Question

I am trying to paginate Model result, but I am getting \"Method paginate does not exist.\". Here is my code:

$user_dispatches = Dispatch::all()->where(\'user_         


        

Answer 1

Dispatch::where('user_id', auth()->user()->id)->paginate(10);

Answer 2

You need to remove all():

Dispatch::where('user_id', Auth::id())->paginate(10);

When you're using all() you get all the rows from the table and get a collection. Then you're using collection method where() (and not Query Builder method where()) and then you're trying to use paginate() method on the collection and it doesn't exist.

Answer 3

for use all recorde and pagination , you need use below code :

$user_dispatches = Disspath::paginate(8);

Answer 4

Extending a bit Alexey's perfect answer :

Dispatch::all() => Returns a Collection

Dispatch::all()->where() => Returns a Collection

Dispatch::where() => Returns a Query

Dispatch::where()->get() => Returns a Collection

Dispatch::where()->get()->where() => Returns a Collection

You can only invoke "paginate" on a Query, not on a Collection.

And yes, it is totally confusing to have a where function for both Queries and Collections, working as close as they do, but it is what it is.

Answer 5

You need remove method all() :

$user_dispatches = Dispatch::where('user_id', Auth::id())->paginate(10);

Because all() return a Collection while paginate() used a Builder
