Laravel provides pagination default and it's working fine. But they generate URL with query strings and if you need to generate pretty url(seo friendly URL) for your pagination, Then I will help you with how you can do it.

Laravel Default Pagination URL:

http://localhost:8000/users?page=1

http://localhost:8000/users?page=2

http://localhost:8000/users?page=3

Laravel Pagination with Pretty URL:

http://localhost:8000/users/page/1

http://localhost:8000/users/page/2

http://localhost:8000/users/page/3

If you want to generate pretty url then just follow below step to done this example:

Preview:

Let's follow below steps:

Step 1: Install Laravel

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: Generate Dummy Users

In this step, we will generate some dummy users so we can make it pagination, so let's run tinker command and add new users:

php artisan tinker

User::factory()->count(40)->create()

Step 3: Create Routes

In this step, we will create two routes for users and another for pretty URL. so let's add it.

routes/web.php

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

use App\Http\Controllers\UserController;

/*

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| 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('users', [UserController::class, 'index']);

Route::get('users/page/{page}', [UserController::class, 'index'])->name('users.index');

Step 4: Create Controller

In this step, we have to create new controller as UserController with index(). we will write logic of pagination on it. so let's update follow code:

app/Http/Controllers/UserController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Models\User;

class UserController extends Controller

{

/**

* Display a listing of the resource.

*

* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response

*/

public function index(Request $request, $page = 1)

{

$paginate = 4;

$skip = ($page * $paginate) - $paginate;

$prevURL = $nextURL = '';

if ($skip > 0){

$prevURL = $page - 1;

}

$users = User::latest()

->skip($skip)

->take($paginate)

->get();

if($users->count() > 0){

if($users->count() >= $paginate){

$nextURL = $page + 1;

}

return view('users', compact('users', 'prevURL', 'nextURL'));

}

return redirect('/');

}

}

Step 5: Create View File

resources/views/users.blade.php
