Get item by item_id from LengthAwarePaginator in Laravel 5.3?

Question

Laravel

Functions:

{{$categories->find($category->parent_id)}}
// и
{{$categories->where('category_id', $category->parent_id)}}

Does not work.
$categories->items() - will return us an array of only those that are currently displayed on the page.
dd($categories) - will return:

LengthAwarePaginator {#324 ▼
  #total: 55
  #lastPage: 11
  #items: Collection {#325 ▶}
  #perPage: "5"
  #currentPage: 1
  #path: "http://lara53/categories/5"
  #query: []
  #fragment: null
  #pageName: "page"
}

I looked here , I don’t see a function to get an element by a criterion.

Answer 1

The paginator returns a certain number of elements from the database.
If you need to display to search for those elements that are displayed in the paginator, it is enough to use collections.
If you want to get an instance of an object from the entire table, use Eloquent. The paginator's response does not and will not contain all the data from the database.
