Paginate Query Builder Results in Laravel

Most of times while building admin panels; we need to show listings with pagination. We can do this by using jQuery plugins like DataTables but we can also do paginate query builder results in Laravel 5.

Laravel’s paginator is integrated with query builder and eloquent query and it provides pagination of database results. Pagination HTML is compatible with the Bootstrap CSS Framework.

We can use a very simple method paginate on query builder or an eloquent query to show pagination. Following is the example.

/// in controller
    public function index()
    {
        $items = DB::table('items')->paginate(15);
        return view('items.index', ['items' => $items]);
    }
