Laravel Pagination links not including other GET parameters

Laravel Pagination links not including other GET parameters: 🚫🔄

Are you having trouble with Laravel's Pagination class not including other GET parameters in the generated pagination links? Don't worry, you're not alone! This common issue can be frustrating, but fear not, we're here to help you find an easy solution. Let's dive in!

The Problem 😕

When using Laravel's Eloquent with the Pagination class, you may notice that the pagination links generated only include the "page" parameter and nothing else. This becomes problematic when you have additional GET parameters, such as "gender" and "body", in the URL.

For example, let's say we have the following URL:

http://site.example/users?gender=female&body=hot

The pagination links produced by the default link() function in Laravel only contain the page parameter and completely ignore the other GET parameters:

{{ $users->link() }}

The Solution 💡

Fortunately, Laravel provides a solution to include the other GET parameters in the paginated links using the append() function. However, when we don't know how many GET parameters are present, using append() without messing up our Blade template can be challenging. But fear not, we have a simple and elegant solution for you!

1. Open your Blade template where you're generating the pagination links.

2. Instead of using the link() function, we'll make use of the withQueryString() function. This will ensure that all the GET parameters are retained in the pagination links.

   {{ $users->withQueryString()->links() }}

3. That's it! By simply replacing link() with withQueryString()->links(), your pagination links will contain all the GET parameters present in the URL.

Example 🌟

Let's consider an example to further clarify the solution. Suppose you have the following URL:

http://site.example/users?gender=female&body=hot

Using the solution mentioned above, the pagination links will now include the GET parameters like this:

http://site.example/users?gender=female&body=hot&page=1
http://site.example/users?gender=female&body=hot&page=2
http://site.example/users?gender=female&body=hot&page=3

Voila! Your pagination links will now retain all the GET parameters, instead of resorting to link().
