Laravel 10: How to handle pagination with a custom Eloquent query while preserving the query parameters?
I tried several approaches but none seem to work. I'm trying to configure I'm currently using Laravel 10 and I have a custom Eloquent query that I'm using to filter results based on user input. I've implemented pagination, but I want to preserve the query parameters in the URL when navigating through pages. However, it seems that the pagination links are not retaining the query parameters. I've tried using the `appends` method, but it doesn't seem to work as expected. Here’s a snippet of my controller where I'm fetching the data and applying pagination: ```php public function index(Request $request) { $query = User::query(); if ($request->filled('search')) { $query->where('name', 'like', '%' . $request->search . '%'); } $users = $query->paginate(10); return view('users.index', compact('users')); } ``` In my Blade view, I’m generating the pagination links like this: ```blade {{ $users->links() }} ``` I've also tried adding `->appends(request()->query())` to my pagination call, like so: ```php $users = $query->paginate(10)->appends(request()->query()); ``` Still, the search parameter disappears when I navigate through the paginated results. I’ve confirmed that the query parameters are being passed correctly in the initial request. I suspect that the scenario may be related to how the links are being generated, but I'm not sure how to resolve it. Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated!
