skip method in laravel

 In Laravel, the skip() method is used to skip a specified number of records when retrieving data from a database table using queries such as select or get. It is commonly used in conjunction with the take() or limit() method to paginate results or retrieve a subset of records.

Here's an example of how to use the skip() method in Laravel:

composer require laravel/sanctum

In the above example, the skip(10) method is used to skip the first 10 records, and the take(5) method is used to retrieve the next 5 records. This is often used for pagination, where you want to display a specific number of records per page.

Alternatively, you can use the offset() method as a synonym for skip():

$users = DB::table('users')
            ->skip(10)
            ->take(5)
            ->get();

In this case, offset(10) is used to skip the first 10 records, and limit(5) is used to retrieve the next 5 records.

When working with Eloquent, the skip() method can also be used on model queries:

You may install Laravel Sanctum via the Composer package manager:

$users = DB::table('users')
            ->offset(10)
            ->limit(5)
            ->get();

This example skips the first 10 records in the "users" table and retrieves the next 5 records using the Eloquent ORM.

The skip() method is useful when you need to retrieve a subset of records from a query result, such as implementing pagination or fetching records in chunks. By combining skip() with take(), you can control the number of records to skip and the number of records to retrieve.
