Laravel 8 Inertia Js Pagination with vue 3


Step 1: Install Laravel & Connect Database

Step 2: Install Breeze & Setup Inertia Js Vue 3

Step 3: Create Model Factory and Controller & route

Step 4: Create a Vue js Pagination Component

Step 5: Show Post List with Pagination



Step 1: Install Laravel & Connect Database

Create a new laravel app.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel inertia-pagination

Now, you have to connect the laravel app to the database, hence open the .env configuration file and add the database credentials as suggested below.

.env

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=database_name
DB_USERNAME=database_user_name
DB_PASSWORD=database_password


Step 2: Install Breeze & Setup Inertia Js Vue 3

Install laravel breeze via composer

composer require laravel/breeze --dev

Next, run below command

php artisan breeze:install

install breeze with vue 3

php artisan breeze:install vue

And final install Dependencies

npm install && npm run dev 


Step 3: Create Model Factory and Controller & route

First we need to create Post model.

php artisan make:model Post -mf 


Model created successfully.
Factory created successfully.
Created Migration: 2021_09_14_112455_create_posts_table
Controller created successfully.


Post Table

app/database/migrations/posts_table.php

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreatePostsTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('title');
            $table->text('description');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('posts');
    }
}


Post Model

app/Models/Post.php

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = [
        'title',
        'description'
    ];

    use HasFactory;
}


Post Factory

app/database/factories/PostFactory.php

<?php

namespace Database\Factories;

use App\Models\Post;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory;

class PostFactory extends Factory
{
    /**
     * The name of the factory's corresponding model.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $model = Post::class;

    /**
     * Define the model's default state.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function definition()
    {
        return [
            'title' => $this->faker->title(),
            'description' => $this->faker->text(),
        ];
    }
}

After set up factory we need to create fake data, So we will use laravel tinker

Create fake data using tinker

php artisan ti 


Psy Shell v0.10.8 (PHP 7.4.23 — cli) by Justin Hileman
>>> App\Models\Post::factory(30)->create();


Post Controller

app/Http/Controllers/PostController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Post;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Inertia\Inertia;

class PostController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $posts = Post::latest()->paginate(10);

        return Inertia::render(
            'Post/Index',
            ['posts' => $posts]
        );
    }

}


app/routes/web.php

<?php


use App\Http\Controllers\PostController;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Application;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use Inertia\Inertia;


/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/


Route::get('/', function () {
    return Inertia::render('Welcome', [
        'canLogin' => Route::has('login'),
        'canRegister' => Route::has('register'),
        'laravelVersion' => Application::VERSION,
        'phpVersion' => PHP_VERSION,
    ]);
});


Route::get('/dashboard', function () {
    return Inertia::render('Dashboard');
})->middleware(['auth', 'verified'])->name('dashboard');

Route::get('posts', [PostController::class,'index'])->name('posts.index');

require __DIR__.'/auth.php';


Step 4: Create a Vue js Pagination Component

You need to create pagination component, if you are using vue js 3 then copy first below code, for vue js 2 copy second component code.


app/resources/Components/Pagination.vue

Vue Js 3

<template>
    <div v-if="links.length > 3">
        <div class="flex flex-wrap -mb-1">
            <template v-for="(link, key) in links">
                <div
                    v-if="link.url === null"
                    :key="key"
                    class="
                        px-4
                        py-3
                        mb-1
                        mr-1
                        text-sm
                        leading-4
                        text-gray-400
                        border
                        rounded
                    "
                    v-html="link.label"
                />
                <Link
                    v-else
                    class="
                        px-4
                        py-3
                        mb-1
                        mr-1
                        text-sm
                        leading-4
                        border
                        rounded
                        hover:bg-white
                        focus:border-indigo-500 focus:text-indigo-500
                    "
                    :class="{ 'bg-white': link.active }"
                    :href="link.url"
                    v-html="link.label"
                />
            </template>
        </div>
    </div>
</template>

<script>
import { Link } from "@inertiajs/inertia-vue3";
export default {
    components: {
        Link,
    },

    props: {
        links: Array,
    },
};
</script>


Vue Js 2

<template>
  <div v-if="links.length > 3">
    <div class="flex flex-wrap -mb-1">
      <template v-for="(link, key) in links">
        <div v-if="link.url === null" :key="key" class="px-4 py-3 mb-1 mr-1 text-sm leading-4 text-gray-400 border rounded" v-html="link.label" />
        <inertia-link v-else :key="key" class="px-4 py-3 mb-1 mr-1 text-sm leading-4 border rounded hover:bg-white focus:border-indigo-500 focus:text-indigo-500" :class="{ 'bg-white': link.active }" :href="link.url" v-html="link.label" />
      </template>
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  props: {
    links: Array,
  },
}
</script>


Step 5: Show Post List with Pagination

app/resources/js/Pages/Post/Index.vue

<template>
    <Head title="Dashboard" />

    <BreezeAuthenticatedLayout>
        <template #header>
            <h2 class="text-xl font-semibold leading-tight text-gray-800">
                Post Index
            </h2>
        </template>

        <div class="py-12">

                <div
                    class="
                        overflow-hidden
                        bg-white
                        shadow-sm
                        max-w-7xl
                        sm:rounded-lg
                    "
                >

                                </tr>
                            </tbody>
                        </table>
                        <pagination class="mt-6" :links="posts.links" />

                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </BreezeAuthenticatedLayout>
</template>

<script>
import BreezeAuthenticatedLayout from "@/Layouts/Authenticated.vue";
import { Head } from "@inertiajs/inertia-vue3";
import Pagination from "@/Components/Pagination.vue";

export default {
    components: {
        BreezeAuthenticatedLayout,
