I have problem with the pagination .
everything work fine without error but the problem is when i use makeHidden with my code it change the structure of my json pagination result
this is my code
$result = Job::where('user_id','=',Auth::id())->paginate(5);
$result= $result->makeHidden(['hasMessage']);
without the second line the result is
{
total: 1 ,
per_page: 5,
current_page: 1,
last_page: 1,
next_page_url: null,
prev_page_url: null,
from: 1,
to: 1,
data: [
{
id: 4,
sid:125,
hasMessage: true
}
]
}
but when i use
$result= $result->makeHidden(['hasMessage']);
I got
[
{
id: 4,
sid:125,
}
]
any idea please ? ? ? is it a bug or there is something wrong ? ?
hasMessage is an append field not a real columns
finally I did it with small programming trick
$paginator = Job::where('user_id','=',Auth::id())->paginate(5);
$data = $paginator->makeHidden(['hasMessage']);
$paginator->data = $data;
return $paginator;
thank you
if you want to preserve pagination data use getCollection()and setCollection() methods:
$paginator = Job::where('user_id','=',Auth::id())->paginate(5);
$paginator->setCollection($paginator->getCollection()->makeHidden(['hasMessage']));
return $paginator;
You are missing toArray() in your code. It should be like:
$result= $result->makeHidden(['hasMessage'])->toArray();
Have a look at the docs:
https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/eloquent-serialization#hiding-attributes-from-json
Edit:
I also have tried to paginate and it did return the changed array and it is the expected output for the makeHidden().
You could also have a look at the function:
public function makeHidden($attributes)
{
$attributes = (array) $attributes;
$this->visible = array_diff($this->visible, $attributes);
$this->hidden = array_unique(array_merge($this->hidden, $attributes));
return $this;
}
As it is doing array_merge it distotes your json response.
