How to paginate Laravel 5.3 database Notifications

Question

We know that Notifications in Laravel 5.3 can sent via many channels and can store in database.

And we know that can fetch all notifications of a User and show them like this :

 $user = App\User::find(1);

foreach ($user->notifications as $notification) {
    echo $notification->type;
}

But Suppose case that I have a AllNotifications page that show all notifications of a user and I want to paginate that.

Is there any way to paginate notifications ?

Update:
According to themsaid answer on github I tried the code :

You can use $user->notifications()->paginate(), the HasDatabaseNotifications trait has a regular morphMany relationship.

First problem is solved But another problem is occured.

I have three notif and used $user->notifications()->paginate(2) , then pages links show on the first page but it does not show in the second page and in this case I could not navigate to other pages. why?

Note: I found that above problem is not in Laravel 5.3.4 But there is in 5.3.6

Answer 1

Try this:

$page = 2; /* Actual page */

$limit = 4; /* Limit per page*/

\Auth::user()->notifications()->offset($page*$limit)->limit($limit)->get();

Answer 2

I try this in V 5.5.* it work for me:

$perpage =  $request->input('perpage', 15);

$page =  $request->input('page', 1);

return $user->notifications()->paginate($perpage, ['*'], 'page', $page);

Result:

"data": [],
"links": {
    "first": "http://domain.test/notification?page=1",
    "last": "http://domain.test/notification?page=2",
    "prev": "http://domain.test/notification?page=1",
    "next": null
},
"meta": {
    "current_page": 2,
    "from": 4,
    "last_page": 2,
    "path": "http://domain.test/notification",
    "per_page": "3",
    "to": 4,
    "total": 4,
}

Extra: if you want to add Unread Eloquent: API Resources

$notification = $user->notifications()->paginate($perpage, ['*'], 'page', $page);

return NotificationResource::collection($notification)->additional(['meta' => [
                                    'unread' => $user->unReadNotifications->count(),
                                ]]);

Result:

"data": [],
"links": {},
{
    "meta": {
    "current_page": 2,
    "from": 4,
    "last_page": 2,
    "path": "http://domain.test/notification",
    "per_page": "3",
    "to": 4,
    "total": 4,
    "unread": 4 // here
