Calling paginate() returns error about laravel-mongodb

[jenssegers]

I did not look into pagination yet, I will try to add it today.

[leekaiwei]

Oh I see. Thanks.

EDIT: Actually what I want to do requires take() and skip() instead, so currently I don't need paginate() for now.

[jenssegers]

Pagination was actually working already when I tried it.

$reports = Report::paginate(5);

Returned me 5 items, and pagination links.

[leekaiwei]

Interesting, no matter where I put the call to pagination method in the chain, it wouldn't work.

[jenssegers]

Take and skip is working as well, those are tested by unittests.

[jenssegers]

Can I see your chain?

[leekaiwei]

Yes they are working fine.

User::where('attribute', 'value')->orderBy('attribute')->paginate(number);

[jenssegers]

I was able to execute the following without any errors:

$reports = Report::where('node', 'vmware2')->orderBy('elapsed')->paginate(5);

But when I look at your error message, the query builder started using the aggregation framework. Did you use any grouping or aggregation somewhere else or in the same query?

[leekaiwei]

Not to my knowledge. If I have, then I've used it without knowing. I have 2 weeks experience of PHP/Laravel. If you say it works, then it probably does and I've done something stupid.

Off-topic: Since MongoDB can have arrays inserted into them, does this package support something like where() but for matching an item in the array? Currently doing it manually and therefore cannot use Eloquent methods, making things like skip() and take() a bit harder.

[jenssegers]

Yes, you can just use something like this:

User::where('address.country', 'France')->get();

[leekaiwei]

I think we are thinking of slightly different arrays. I was thinking of having inserted:

array('tag1', 'tag2', 'games', 'entertainment')

into a field tags. Then I would want to find all models in which its array in tags contain for example games. There isn't anything like that is there?

[jenssegers]

You can use this query for that:

Post::where('tags', 'games')->get();

Oh I see. So that does work. Thanks very much for your help. Much appreciated.
