How to implement pagination for large result sets in Laravel?

To implement pagination for large result sets in Laravel, you can follow these steps:

First, you need to ensure that your model class is using the Illuminate\Pagination\Paginator trait. This trait provides the necessary methods to handle pagination.

use Illuminate\Pagination\Paginator;

class YourModel extends Model
{
    use Paginator;
    // ...
}

In your controller method, use the paginate() method on your model to retrieve the paginated results.

public function index()
{
    $results = YourModel::paginate(10); // Replace 10 with the desired number of items per page

    return view('your-view', ['results' => $results]);
}

In your view file, you can use the links() method on the paginated results to generate the pagination links.

@foreach ($results as $result)
    <!-- Display each result -->
@endforeach

{{ $results->links() }}

Finally, you can customize the appearance of the pagination links by modifying the view file resources/views/vendor/pagination/bootstrap-4.blade.php or resources/views/vendor/pagination/default.blade.php, depending on the Bootstrap version of your Laravel application.

You can also pass additional options to the paginate() method to customize the pagination, such as the number of items per page, the page name, the query parameter, etc. For example:

$paginate = 15; // Number of items per page
$results = YourModel::paginate($paginate, ['*'], 'page', $pageParameter);

Where $paginate is the number of items per page, ['*'] represents all the columns to be retrieved, 'page' is the name of the query parameter, and $pageParameter is the value of the query parameter.

By following these steps, you will be able to implement pagination for large result sets in your Laravel application.
