Discussion on: How to create a nested-list of categories in Laravel blade

View post

how do you limit the numbers of categories(total of both parent and child) to show on the page?

you paginate. where you do $categories = Category::whereNull('parent_id')->with('childs')->get(); you can do $categories = Category::whereNull('parent_id')->with('childs')->paginate(x); where x is the number of items you want to show on page.

that will do pagination based on the count of the parent_id category.
I wanted to display the categories with a hierarchy. Ended up with this:

$categories = Category::where('level', 0)->with('descendants')->get()->flattenTree()->paginate(15);
