We know pagination is a primary requirement of each and every project, so if you are a beginner with Laravel, then you must know how to use pagination in Laravel 12 and what other functions you can use with Laravel 12 pagination.

In this example, we will run the migration and create a "users" table. Then we will create dummy records using the Tinker command. Afterward, we will display those users with pagination.

Step for Laravel 12 Bootstrap 5 Pagination Example

  • Step 1: Install Laravel 12
  • Step 2: MySQL Database Configuration
  • Step 3: Create Dummy Users
  • Step 4: Add Route
  • Step 5: Create Controller
  • Step 6: Create Blade File
  • Run Laravel App

So, let's follow below tutorials:

Step 1: Install Laravel 12

This step is not required; however, if you have not created the Laravel app, then you may go ahead and execute the below command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

Step 2: MySQL Database Configuration

In Laravel 12, there is a default database connection using SQLite, but if we want to use MySQL instead, we need to add a MySQL connection with the database name, username, and password to the `.env` file.

.env

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=here your database name(blog)
DB_USERNAME=here database username(root)
DB_PASSWORD=here database password(root)

Step 3: Create Dummy Users

In this step, we need to run the migration command to create the users table and then create dummy user records so we can see pagination.

Let's run the migration command:

php artisan migrate

Next, run the ticker command to add dummy users:

php artisan tinker

User::factory()->count(100)->create()

Step 4: Add Route

First thing is we put one route in one for list users with pagination. So simply add both routes in your route file.

routes/web.php

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\UserController;
  
Route::get('users', [UserController::class, 'index']);

Step 5: Create Controller

Same as above for "route". Here, we will add one new method for "route". `index()` will return users with pagination data, so let's add below:

app/Http/Controllers/UserController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\View\View;
  
class UserController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index(Request $request): View
    {
        $users = User::paginate(5);
  
        return view('users', compact('users'));
    }
}

Step 6: Create Blade File

In this step, you need to create a users blade file and put below code with `links()` so it will generate pagination automatically. So let's put it.

resources/views/users.blade.php

                    @empty
                        <tr>
                            <td colspan="3">There are no users.</td>
                        </tr>

                </tbody>
            </table>
          
            <!-- You can use Tailwind CSS Pagination as like here: -->
