Laravel Eloquent - Why take(n) works but limit(n) doesn't?












0















According to laravel docs, take() is just an alias to the limit().



Why doesn't query no 4 doesn't work while other work just fine.



1. $employee->take(2)->get();   // Works
2. $employee->limit(2)->get(); // Works
3. $employee->get()->take(2); // Works
4. $employee->get()->limit(2) // Gives Error; Method Illuminate/Database/Eloquent/Collection::limit does not exist.

          When you call get, your database query has been executed, so the result is an IlluminateSupportCollection and when you call limit on Collection it throws an error because Collection class does not have a limit function.



          limit and take are both executed on your database query as they are both functions of IlluminateDatabaseQueryBuilder and IlluminateDatabaseEloquentBuilder also, not on the Collection.



          Notice: the Third statement works because IlluminateSupportCollection has a take function also.
