Query combination in Laravel-CodePudding

i am facing a problem where my function have a request from the frontend for sorting the data. So i need to add some condition to my query. I tried to do this way.

 $hawker = Hawker_location::withTrashed();

    if($request->district){
        $hawker->where('district', $request->district);
    }

    if($request->type){
        $hawker->where('type', $request->type);
    }

    $hawker->paginate($request->sizePerPage);

    return response()->json($hawker, Response::HTTP_OK);

But it return no value for the query but no error. how i can fix this ?

CodePudding user response：

Hawker_location::query()->withTrashed()
  ->when($request->has('district'), function($query) { $query->where('district', $request->district)})
  ->when($request->has('type'), function($query) { $query->where('type', $request-> type)})
  ->paginate($request->sizePerPage ?? 10)

CodePudding user response：

Try to return the paginator itself

return $hawker->paginate($request->input('sizePerPage',50));
