Laravel throwing: method paginate does not exist error

Question

I am trying to use pagination in laravel. so i try to retrieve all the transactions and paginate it. my flow goes like this for your reference view->controller->repository->model .

myrepository:

public function getall(){

    $this->transaction = Transaction::all();


    return $this->transaction;

}

mycontroller:

 public function getall(){   
  $transactions = $this->transaction->getall()->paginate(10);

    //dd($this->transaction);



    return view('transactions', ['transactions' => $transactions]);

}

in my app.php under service providers i made sure i have pagination: Illuminate\Pagination\PaginationServiceProvider::class,

but there is no aliases though. so in my controller i did : use Illuminate\Pagination;

Solution 1

Do like this

//in repository
public function getAll($limit)
{
    $this->transaction = Transaction::paginate($limit); //Use paginate here.
     return $this->transaction;
}

//in controller 
public function getall() {
    $transactions = $this->transaction->getall(10);

}   

Solution 2

It won't work with your way. Because all method will give your Collection. Paginate function only works on Eloquent\Builder or Eloquent Model

If you need to paginate all records without condition,

\App\Transaction::paginate(10);

Solution 3

Add the following function to your repository

Repository

public function getModel() {
    return new Transaction;
}

public function getAll() {
    return $this->getModel()->all();
}

public function paginate($limit = 15) {
    return $this->getModel()->paginate($limit);
}

Controller

public function getAll() {
    $transaction = $this->transaction->paginate(10);

    return view('transactions', ['transactions' => $transactions]);
}
