A paginator that plays nice with the JSON API spec

Latest Version on Packagist Build Status SensioLabsInsight Quality Score StyleCI Total Downloads

In a vanilla Laravel application the query builder paginators will listen to page request parameter. This works great, but it does not comply with the json:api spec. That spec expects the query builder paginator to listen to the page[number] and page[size] request parameters.

This package adds a jsonPaginate method to the Eloquent query builder that listens to those parameters and adds the pagination links the spec requires.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require spatie/laravel-json-api-paginate

In Laravel 5.5 and above the service provider will automatically get registered. In older versions of the framework just add the service provider in config/app.php file:

'providers' => [
    ...
    Spatie\JsonApiPaginate\JsonApiPaginateServiceProvider::class,
];

Optionally you can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\JsonApiPaginate\JsonApiPaginateServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This is the contents of the file that will be published in config/json-api-paginate.php

return [
    /*
     * The maximum number of results that will be returned
     * when using the JSON API paginator.
     */
    'max_results' => 30,
    /*
     * The default number of results that will be returned
     * when using the JSON API paginator.
     */
    'default_size' => 30,
    /*
     * The key of the page[x] query string parameter for page number.
     */
    'number_parameter' => 'number',
    /*
     * The key of the page[x] query string parameter for page size.
     */
    'size_parameter' => 'size',
    /*
     * The name of the macro that is added to the Eloquent query builder.
     */
    'method_name' => 'jsonPaginate',
];

Usage

To paginate the results accoring the the json API spec, simply call the jsonPaginate method.

YourModel::jsonPaginate();

Of course you may still use all the builder methods you know and love:

YourModel::where('my_field', 'myValue')->jsonPaginate();

By default the maximum page size is set to 30. You can change this number in the config file or just pass the value to jsonPaginate.

$maxResults = 60;

YourModel::jsonPaginate($maxResults);
