The example doesn't cover every single aspect, but the very major things.
JQUERY:
-------
// listener to the [select from existing photos] button
$('#photosModal').on('shown.bs.modal', function () {
// get the first page of photos (paginated)
getPhotos(function(photosObj){
displayPhotos(photosObj);
});
});
/**
* get the photos paginated, and display them in the modal of selecting from existing photos
*
* @param page
*/
function getPhotos(callback) {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
dataType: 'json',
url: Routes.cms_photos,
data:{
'page': window.current_page + 1 // you might need to init that var on top of page (= 0)
}
})
.done(function( response ) {
var photosObj = $.parseJSON(response.photos);
console.log(photosObj);
window.current_page = photosObj.current_page;
// hide the [load more] button when all pages are loaded
if(window.current_page == photosObj.last_page){
$('#load-more-photos').hide();
}
callback(photosObj);
})
.fail(function( response ) {
console.log( "Error: " + response );
});
}
/**
* @param photosObj
*/
function displayPhotos(photosObj)
{
var options = '';
$.each(photosObj.data, function(key, value){
options = options + "<option data-img-src='"+value.thumbnail+"' value='"+value.id+"'></option>";
});
$('#photos-selector').append(options);
$("select").imagepicker();
}
// listener to the [load more] button
$('#load-more-photos').on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
getPhotos(function(photosObj){
displayPhotos(photosObj);
});
});
Laravel:
--------
$photos = $this->photo_repo->paginate(12);
return Response::json([
'status' => 'success',
'photos' => $photos->toJson(),
]);
