Add condition in contain in cakephp 3 pagination

Question

How can i add a condition in contain to paginate in Cakephp3.

This is my code :

$this->paginate = [
'contain' => ['Users', 'AssignDrivers.Users', 'Invoices']
];
$bookings = $this->paginate($this->Bookings);   
$this->set(compact('bookings'));
$this->set('_serialize', ['bookings']);

For example Something like this:

$this->paginate($this->bookings)->where(['Bookings.status'=>'pending', 'AssignDrivers.name LIKE'=>'%John%']);

Thank you for help.

Answer 1

Try using a condition inside paginate() method.

$this->paginate = [
    'contain' => ['Users', 'AssignDrivers.Users', 'Invoices']
];

$bookings = $this->paginate(
    $this->Bookings->find()->where([
        'Bookings.status'=>'pending', 
        'AssignDrivers.name LIKE'=>'%John%'
    ])
);   

$this->set(compact('bookings'));
$this->set('_serialize', ['bookings']);
