I am trying to use paginate()
to achieve infinite scroll. I think the easiest way is using the 'infinite-scroll' to achieve this. If you have any other suggestion how to do it without infinite-scroll library, just using jQuery, I'd be happy to know..
I am returning the variable to view like this:
public function index()
{
$posts = Post::with('status' == 'verified')
->paginate(30);
return view ('show')->with(compact('posts'));
}
My View:
<div id="content" class="col-md-10">
@foreach (array_chunk($posts->all(), 3) as $row)
<div class="post row">
@foreach($row as $post)
<div class="item col-md-4">
<!-- SHOW POST -->
</div>
@endforeach
</div>
@endforeach
{!! $posts->render() !!}
</div>
Javascript Part:
$(document).ready(function() {
(function() {
var loading_options = {
finishedMsg: "<div class='end-msg'>End of content!</div>",
msgText: "<div class='center'>Loading news items...</div>",
img: "/assets/img/ajax-loader.gif"
};
$('#content').infinitescroll({
loading: loading_options,
navSelector: "ul.pagination",
nextSelector: "ul.pagination li:last a", // is this where it's failing?
itemSelector: "#content div.item"
});
});
});
However, this doesn't work. The ->render() part is working because I am getting [<[1]2]3]>] part. However, the infinite scroll doesn't work. I also don't get any errors in the console.
[<[1]2]3]>] is like this in the view:source:
<ul class="pagination">
<li class="disabled"><span>«</span> </li> // «
<li class="active"><span>1</span></li> // 1
<li><a href="http://test.dev/?page=2">2</a></li> // 2
<li><a href="http://test.dev/?page=3">3</a></li> // 3
<li><a href="http://test.dev/?page=2" rel="next">»</a></li> // »
</ul>
Easy and helpful is this tutorial - http://laraget.com/blog/implementing-infinite-scroll-pagination-using-laravel-and-jscroll
Final script could looks like this one
{!! HTML::script('assets/js/jscroll.js') !!}
<script>
$('.link-pagination').hide();
$(function () {
$('.infinite-scroll').jscroll({
autoTrigger: true,
loadingHtml: '<img class="center-block" src="/imgs/icons/loading.gif" alt="Loading..." />', // MAKE SURE THAT YOU PUT THE CORRECT IMG PATH
padding: 0,
nextSelector: '.pagination li.active + li a',
contentSelector: 'div.infinite-scroll',
callback: function() {
$('.link-pagination').remove();
}
});
});
</script>
You just need to use laravel's pagination
{!! $restaurants->links() !!}
You should be able to use the Pagination just fine as long as your call to get new posts is different than page load. So you'd have two Laravel calls:
1.) To provide the template of the page (including jQuery, CSS, and your max_page count variable -- view HTML) 2.) For the AJAX to call posts based on the page you give it.
This is how I got my infinity scroll to work...
HTML:
<!-- Your code hasn't changed-->
<div id="content" class="col-md-10">
@foreach (array_chunk($posts->all(), 3) as $row)
<div class="post row">
@foreach($row as $post)
<div class="item col-md-4">
<!-- SHOW POST -->
</div>
@endforeach
</div>
@endforeach
{!! $posts->render() !!}
</div>
<!-- Holds your page information!! -->
<input type="hidden" id="page" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" id="max_page" value="<?php echo $max_page ?>" />
<!-- Your End of page message. Hidden by default -->
<div id="end_of_page" class="center">
<hr/>
<span>You've reached the end of the feed.</span>
</div>
On page load, you will fill in the max_page variable (so do something like this: ceil(Post::with('status' == 'verified')->count() / 30);
.
Next, your jQuery:
var outerPane = $('#content'),
didScroll = false;
$(window).scroll(function() { //watches scroll of the window
didScroll = true;
});
//Sets an interval so your window.scroll event doesn't fire constantly. This waits for the user to stop scrolling for not even a second and then fires the pageCountUpdate function (and then the getPost function)
setInterval(function() {
if (didScroll){
didScroll = false;
if(($(document).height()-$(window).height())-$(window).scrollTop() < 10){
pageCountUpdate();
}
}
}, 250);
//This function runs when user scrolls. It will call the new posts if the max_page isn't met and will fade in/fade out the end of page message
function pageCountUpdate(){
var page = parseInt($('#page').val());
var max_page = parseInt($('#max_page').val());
if(page < max_page){
$('#page').val(page+1);
getPosts();
$('#end_of_page').hide();
} else {
$('#end_of_page').fadeIn();
}
}
//Ajax call to get your new posts
function getPosts(){
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/load", // whatever your URL is
data: { page: page },
beforeSend: function(){ //This is your loading message ADD AN ID
$('#content').append("<div id='loading' class='center'>Loading news items...</div>");
},
complete: function(){ //remove the loading message
$('#loading').remove
},
success: function(html) { // success! YAY!! Add HTML to content container
$('#content').append(html);
}
});
} //end of getPosts function
There ya go! That's all. I was using Masonry with this code also so the animation worked wonderfully.
