How to include pagination parameters in a cakephp 3.x route












0















I want my orders index to be sorted by id descending when I open the start page /. Here are the routes I have tried so far:



$routes->connect('/', ['controller' => 'Orders', 'action' => 'index', 'sort' => 'id', 'direction' => 'desc']);

$routes->connect('/', ['controller' => 'Orders', 'action' => 'index', '?' => ['sort' => 'id', 'direction' => 'desc']]);

$routes->connect('/', ['controller' => 'Orders', 'action' => 'index', 'pass' => ['sort' => 'id', 'direction' => 'desc']]);


None of them work (i.e. the sorting parameters are ignored), even though the request object looks fine when I use the second option with the ?.



How do I have to setup the route?



Edit:



/?sort=id&direction=desc


This url display what I want to see at /.

          You can use a RedirectRoute which will issue a HTTP 301 redirect:



          $routes->connect('/', ['controller' => 'Orders', 'action' => 'index', '?' => ['sort' => 'id', 'direction' => 'desc']], ['routeClass' => 'RedirectRoute']);


          Alternatively you can set pagination parameters in the controller and add ordering there. Note, that this ordering will persist even if you click on another column to sort by that and the generated SQL will have something like: ORDER BY Orders.created ASC, Orders.id DESC.



          If this behavior is not desired, you can avoid that by not setting default ordering when sort and direction query params exist.



          Something like this:



          class OrdersController extends AppController
          {

          /**
          * Index method
          *
          * @return CakeHttpResponse|void
          */
          public function index()
          {
          $query = $this->getRequest()->getQueryParams();

          if (empty($query['sort']) || empty($query['direction'])) {
          $this->paginate['order'] = ['Orders.id' => 'desc'];
          }

          $orders = $this->paginate($this->Orders);

          $this->set(compact('orders'));
          }
          }
