Laravel 5 Pagination with transform

PaginationController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class PaginationController extends Controller
{

    /**
     * @param Request $request
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        // Results per page
        $limit = 50;

        // Creates an instance of Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator
        $users = User::paginate($limit);

        // getCollection() is a mathod available in Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator
        // It retrivies the Collection instance the Paginator will iterate over, allowing you to
        // use Collection methods. transform() modifies the collection itself.
        $users->getCollection()->transform(function($user, $key) {
            return [
                'name' => $user->name,
                'email' => $user->email,
                'custom_attribute' => 'custom value',
            ];
        });

        return $result;
    }

}

Where is the $result variable created?

Did you mean to assign the result of the transformation to the result variable like:

$result = $users->getCollection()->transform(function($user, $key) {
            return [
                'name' => $user->name,
                'email' => $user->email,
                'custom_attribute' => 'custom value',
            ];
        });
return response()->json($result);

Or is $result a special PHP or Laravel variable?

I think $result was a typo.

You would want to return $users.

// Creates an instance of Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator
$users = User::paginate(50);

// iterates paginated items and applies a transformation 
$users->getCollection()->transform(function($user) {
    $user->foo = 'bar';
    return $user;
});

return $users;

Check this out. I am using tap helper

$users = tap(User::query()
->paginate(100),function($paginatedInstance){
    return $paginatedInstance->getCollection()->transform(function ($value) {
        $value->test = 'test';
        return $value;
    });
});

big thanks @ManojKiranA

I can't get it work, in my vscode, the getCollection() is undefined method, I tried it too but didn't return anything. Help?

@fahmiegerton try doing without the getCollection()
