I have a fairly simple query which I load and add an element to the object and then sort it based on that custom element. I'd like to take 20 records or paginate it but when I do so, alot of data vanishes.
This is my code. The piece below gets all the records.
$fighters = Fighter::all();
The below code gets the points which is in a function and adds it to the fighter, fighterPoints does not initially exist in the collection, it is created and populated below.
foreach ($fighters as $fighter) {
$fighter->fighterPoints = $fighter->getFighterPoints($fighter->id);
}
Then i'd like to sort everything by those fighterPoints with the below function.
$sorted = $fighters ->sortByDesc(function ($item, $key) {
return $item->fighterPoints ;
});
When i do this i get all the records which are around 9000, it then sorts on the fighterPoints correctly: The first record being something like [FighterName, 21309]
When i do $fighters = Fighter::paginate(20);
it simply starts with [FighterName384, 200] which should be [FighterName, 21309] and just 20 results. The same thing happens with::take(20) method.
What am I doing wrong here? I am laravel 8.
You want to paginate your $sorted variable right?! To do that you have to
use Illuminate\Pagination\Paginator; // add
use Illuminate\Support\Collection; // add
use Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator; //add
...(your code)
// add
public function paginate($items, $perPage = 5, $page = null, $options = [])
{
$page = $page ?: (Paginator::resolveCurrentPage() ?: 1);
$items = $items instanceof Collection ? $items : Collection::make($items);
return new LengthAwarePaginator($items->forPage($page, $perPage), $items->count(), $perPage, $page, $options);
}
then, use that $sorted this way:
$fighters = $this->paginate($sorted);

—————- EDIT ————
Sorry I misunderstood your question, If you want to order eloquent, here is how you do it
$fighters = Fighter::orderBy('fighterPoints', 'desc')->paginate(20);
I hope that's what you are looking for!
