This is long story.

Please take over the following context and assist with development.

[Project Information]
– Project name: mutunet
– Local path: E:\xampp\htdocs\mutunet
– Development environment: Windows / XAMPP (PHP 8.2.12) / Pleiades (Eclipse)
– Packages and libraries: Laravel, htmx (1.9.12)

[Current Configuration and Rules – Completed Items]
1. PHP 8.2.12 (E:\xampp\php\php.exe) has been specified as the overall execution environment.
2. E:\xampp\htdocs\mutunet\vendor has been set in the PHP include path.
3. storage and bootstrap/cache have been excluded in the resource filter.
4. *.blade.php has been associated with the PHP content type.
5. Directory view naming rules:
– Full views: resources/views/controller-name/action-name.blade.php
– Parts for htmx: resources/views/controller-name/partials/action-name.blade.php
6. Coding Guidelines:
– The overall page structure should inherit from the parent layout (layouts/app.blade.php) using @extends and @section.
– The policy is to use standard <?php ... ?> control structures for conditional branching and loops, rather than Blade directives (@if, @foreach, etc.).
– Use <?php echo e($var); ?> when outputting data as a measure against XSS.

[What I’d like to discuss or achieve]
I’d like to implement an ‘Infinite Scroll’ feature—similar to social media platforms, where scrolling down the page automatically loads the next article (content) sequentially—using htmx and Blade parts.

I am ready to proceed. Please provide code examples for the necessary routing, controller handling and Blade views, as well as a proposed implementation procedure.

Interview

This is an implementation of infinite scrolling using htmx and Blade components, isn’t it?

In htmx, by applying hx-get and hx-trigger="revealed" to the last element of the loaded content, the next page can be automatically fetched and added (using hx-swap="afterend") the moment that element becomes visible on the screen as a result of scrolling.

I have summarised the implementation examples and procedures below.

1. Routing (routes/web.php)

Configure the routing for the initial full-screen display and for retrieving additional data via htmx (part return).

PHP

use App\Http\Controllers\PostController;

Route::get('/posts', [PostController::class, 'index']);
Route::get('/posts/load-more', [PostController::class, 'loadMore']);

use App\Http\Controllers\PostController;

Route::get('/posts', [PostController::class, 'index']);

Route::get('/posts/load-more', [PostController::class, 'loadMore']);

2. Controller processing (app/Http/Controllers/PostController.php)

We will implement a structure that retrieves data via pagination and splits the response into a full view and an htmx part return.

PHP

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Post;

class PostController extends Controller
{
    // Initial access (main page)
    public function index()
    {
        $posts = Post::latest()->paginate(10);
        return view('post.index', ['posts' => $posts]);
    }

    // Load more when scrolling (part for htmx)
    public function loadMore(Request $request)
    {
        $posts = Post::latest()->paginate(10);
        return view('post.partials.load_more', ['posts' => $posts]);
    }
}

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Models\Post;

class PostController extends Controller

{

// Initial access (main page)

public function index()

{

$posts = Post::latest()->paginate(10);

return view('post.index', ['posts' => $posts]);

}

// Load more when scrolling (part for htmx)

public function loadMore(Request $request)

{

$posts = Post::latest()->paginate(10);

return view('post.partials.load_more', ['posts' => $posts]);

}

3. Blade Implementing a view

<?php echo $__env->make('layouts.app', \Illuminate\Support\Arr::except(get_defined_vars(), ['__data', '__path']))->render(); ?>

[Components for htmx] resources/views/post/partials/load_more.blade.php As requested, the loop and the check for the final element are handled using standard <?php … ?> syntax, without using Blade directives.

HTML

<?php 
$total = count($posts);
$i = 0;
foreach ($posts as $post): 
    $i++;
    $isLast = ($i === $total && $posts->hasMorePages());
?>
    <div class="post-card" 
         style="border: 1px solid #ccc; margin: 10px 0; padding: 15px;"
         <?php if ($isLast): ?>
             hx-get="/posts/load-more?page=<?php echo e($posts->currentPage() + 1); ?>"
             hx-trigger="revealed"
             hx-swap="afterend"
         <?php endif; ?>>
        <h3><?php echo e($post->title); ?></h3>
        <p><?php echo e($post->content); ?></p>
    </div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php

$total = count($posts);

$i = 0;

foreach ($posts as $post):

$i++;

$isLast = ($i === $total && $posts->hasMorePages());

<div class="post-card"

style="border: 1px solid #ccc; margin: 10px 0; padding: 15px;"

<?php if ($isLast): ?>

hx-get="/posts/load-more?page=<?php echo e($posts->currentPage() + 1); ?>"

hx-trigger="revealed"

hx-swap="afterend"

<?php endif; ?>>

<h3><?php echo e($post->title); ?></h3>

<p><?php echo e($post->content); ?></p>

</div>

<?php endforeach; ?>

Key points for implementation

hx-trigger=”revealed”: Sends a request when the element enters the viewport (on-screen) as a result of scrolling.
hx-swap=”afterend”: Inserts the new element returned in the response immediately after (outside) the final element that triggered the action.
Attributes are only applied if the next page exists: The system checks using hasMorePages(); if the final page has been reached, attributes such as hx-get are not output, so the network communication stops automatically.

This configuration enables smooth, automatic loading as the page is scrolled. Please do let us know at any time if you have any requests for amendments or new features.

As this is a test tutorial, I would like to add appropriate prefixes to the names of each file so that they can be distinguished from the programmes used in actual operation.

Interview

To ensure that the code for the test tutorial can be clearly distinguished from the production code, I have drawn up a proposed structure in which each file and directory is prefixed with something such as test_tutorial_.

The design is intended to prevent conflicts with existing code whilst making it easy to delete or organise elements in bulk once functionality has been verified.

File structure to be modified or created

Plaintext

routes/
└── web.php (Add route definition)
app/Http/Controllers/
└── TestTutorialPostController.php
resources/views/
├── test_tutorial_post/
│   └── index.blade.php
└── test_tutorial_post/
    └── partials/
        └── load_more.blade.php

routes/

└── web.php (Add route definition)

app/Http/Controllers/

└── TestTutorialPostController.php

resources/views/

├── test_tutorial_post/

│ └── index.blade.php

└── test_tutorial_post/

└── partials/

└── load_more.blade.php

1. Routing (routes/web.php)

A prefix is also added to URLs and controller names.

PHP

use App\Http\Controllers\TestTutorialPostController;

Route::get('/test-tutorial/posts', [TestTutorialPostController::class, 'index']);
Route::get('/test-tutorial/posts/load-more', [TestTutorialPostController::class, 'loadMore']);

use App\Http\Controllers\TestTutorialPostController;

Route::get('/test-tutorial/posts', [TestTutorialPostController::class, 'index']);

Route::get('/test-tutorial/posts/load-more', [TestTutorialPostController::class, 'loadMore']);

2. Controller(app/Http/Controllers/TestTutorialPostController.php)

The directory referenced by the view has been changed to test_tutorial_post.

PHP

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Post; // Using an existing model for testing. Please prepare test data as required

class TestTutorialPostController extends Controller
{
    // Initial request (main page)
    public function index()
    {
        $posts = Post::latest()->paginate(10);
        return view('test_tutorial_post.index', ['posts' => $posts]);
    }

    // Load more when scrolling (Partial for htmx)
    public function loadMore(Request $request)
    {
        $posts = Post::latest()->paginate(10);
        return view('test_tutorial_post.partials.load_more', ['posts' => $posts]);
    }
}

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Models\Post; // Using an existing model for testing. Please prepare test data as required

class TestTutorialPostController extends Controller

{

// Initial request (main page)

public function index()

{

$posts = Post::latest()->paginate(10);

return view('test_tutorial_post.index', ['posts' => $posts]);

}

// Load more when scrolling (Partial for htmx)

public function loadMore(Request $request)

{

$posts = Post::latest()->paginate(10);

return view('test_tutorial_post.partials.load_more', ['posts' => $posts]);

}

3. Blade View Implementation

[Group shot]resources/views/test_tutorial_post/index.blade.php

HTML

<?php $__env->startSection('content'); ?>
<h1>[Test Tutorial] Infinite Scrolling</h1>

<div id="test-tutorial-post-list">
    <?php echo $__env->make('test_tutorial_post.partials.load_more', ['posts' => $posts], \Illuminate\Support\Arr::except(get_defined_vars(), ['__data', '__path']))->render(); ?>
</div>
<?php $__env->stopSection(); ?>

<?php echo $__env->make('layouts.app', \Illuminate\Support\Arr::except(get_defined_vars(), ['__data', '__path']))->render(); ?>

<?php $__env->startSection('content'); ?>

<h1>[Test Tutorial] Infinite Scrolling</h1>

<?php echo $__env->make('test_tutorial_post.partials.load_more', ['posts' => $posts], \Illuminate\Support\Arr::except(get_defined_vars(), ['__data', '__path']))->render(); ?>

</div>

<?php $__env->stopSection(); ?>

<?php echo $__env->make('layouts.app', \Illuminate\Support\Arr::except(get_defined_vars(), ['__data', '__path']))->render(); ?>

[Components for htmx]resources/views/test_tutorial_post/partials/load_more.blade.php

We have also changed the URL called by hx-get to the route for the test tutorial.

HTML

<?php 
$total = count($posts);
$i = 0;
foreach ($posts as $post): 
    $i++;
    $isLast = ($i === $total && $posts->hasMorePages());
?>
    <div class="test-tutorial-post-card" 
         style="border: 1px solid #ccc; margin: 10px 0; padding: 15px;"
         <?php if ($isLast): ?>
             hx-get="/test-tutorial/posts/load-more?page=<?php echo e($posts->currentPage() + 1); ?>"
             hx-trigger="revealed"
             hx-swap="afterend"
         <?php endif; ?>>
        <h3><?php echo e($post->title); ?></h3>
        <p><?php echo e($post->content); ?></p>
    </div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php

$total = count($posts);

$i = 0;

foreach ($posts as $post):

$i++;

$isLast = ($i === $total && $posts->hasMorePages());

<div class="test-tutorial-post-card"

style="border: 1px solid #ccc; margin: 10px 0; padding: 15px;"

<?php if ($isLast): ?>

hx-get="/test-tutorial/posts/load-more?page=<?php echo e($posts->currentPage() + 1); ?>"

hx-trigger="revealed"

hx-swap="afterend"

<?php endif; ?>>

<h3><?php echo e($post->title); ?></h3>

<p><?php echo e($post->content); ?></p>

</div>

<?php endforeach; ?>

Procedure for Verifying Operation

Create or append to the files listed above.
Open your browser and go to http://localhost/test-tutorial/posts (or your local development URL).
We will check whether, when scrolling to the bottom of the page, htmx automatically sends a request to /test-tutorial/posts/load-more?page=2 and adds the next card.

Please do let us know at any time if there are any points you would like to add or adjust regarding the naming conventions or naming style.

Please could you assist with ‘4. Preparations for Development and Testing (Migration and Factory)’. We will be using minder_mutunet. As this work is for a tutorial, please ensure that everything you add is clearly marked as being for the tutorial.

Interview

This guide explains how to create a set of models, migrations, factories and seeders with the prefix test_tutorial_—so that it is immediately clear they are for tutorial (test) purposes—and how to populate them with dummy data.

Open the Command Prompt (or PowerShell) and follow the steps below from the project’s root directory (E:\xampp\htdocs\mutunet).

1. Batch creation of model, migration, factory and seeder files

Generate them in bulk using the artisan command.

Bash

php artisan make:model TestTutorialPost -mfs

1	php artisan make:model TestTutorialPost -mfs

This will generate the following files:

Model: app/Models/TestTutorialPost.php
Migration: database/migrations/xxxx_xx_xx_xxxxxx_create_test_tutorial_posts_table.php
Factory: database/factories/TestTutorialPostFactory.php
Cedar: database/seeders/TestTutorialPostSeeder.php

2. Editing Migration Files (test_tutorial_posts Creating a table)

Open the generated migration file and define the table structure.

PHP

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

return new class extends Migration
{
    public function up(): void
    {
        Schema::create('test_tutorial_posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('title');
            $table->text('content');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    public function down(): void
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('test_tutorial_posts');
    }
};

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

return new class extends Migration

{

public function up(): void

{

Schema::create('test_tutorial_posts', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->id();

$table->string('title');

$table->text('content');

$table->timestamps();

});

}

public function down(): void

{

Schema::dropIfExists('test_tutorial_posts');

}

};

3. Editing Factory Files (TestTutorialPostFactory.php)

Define the rules for generating dummy data. Ensure that the title clearly states [Tutorial].

PHP

<?php

namespace Database\Factories;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory;

class TestTutorialPostFactory extends Factory
{
    public function definition(): array
    {
        return [
            'title' => '[Tutorial Article]' . $this->faker->realText(15),
            'content' => $this->faker->realText(100),
            'created_at' => now(),
            'updated_at' => now(),
        ];
    }
}

<?php

namespace Database\Factories;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory;

class TestTutorialPostFactory extends Factory

{

public function definition(): array

{

return [

'title' => '[Tutorial Article]' . $this->faker->realText(15),

'content' => $this->faker->realText(100),

'created_at' => now(),

'updated_at' => now(),

];

}

4. Editing the Ceder file (TestTutorialPostSeeder.php)

Configure the system to generate 30 dummy records for testing the infinite scroll functionality.

PHP

<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use App\Models\TestTutorialPost;

class TestTutorialPostSeeder extends Seeder
{
    public function run(): void
    {
        TestTutorialPost::factory()->count(30)->create();
    }
}

<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;

use App\Models\TestTutorialPost;

class TestTutorialPostSeeder extends Seeder

{

public function run(): void

{

TestTutorialPost::factory()->count(30)->create();

}

5. Running the database and loading data

Run the following commands to execute the migrations and seeders (data insertion) in sequence.

Bash

# Creating a Table
php artisan migrate

# Loading test data for the tutorial
php artisan db:seed --class=TestTutorialPostSeeder

# Creating a Table

php artisan migrate

# Loading test data for the tutorial

php artisan db:seed --class=TestTutorialPostSeeder

6. Changes to the controller created earlier（TestTutorialPostController.php）

Please amend the model specification in the controller so that it references the TestTutorialPost model you have created.

PHP

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\TestTutorialPost; // Changed to the tutorial model

class TestTutorialPostController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        $posts = TestTutorialPost::latest()->paginate(10);
        return view('test_tutorial_post.index', ['posts' => $posts]);
    }

    public function loadMore(Request $request)
    {
        $posts = TestTutorialPost::latest()->paginate(10);
        return view('test_tutorial_post.partials.load_more', ['posts' => $posts]);
    }
}

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Models\TestTutorialPost; // Changed to the tutorial model

class TestTutorialPostController extends Controller

{

public function index()

{

$posts = TestTutorialPost::latest()->paginate(10);

return view('test_tutorial_post.index', ['posts' => $posts]);

}

public function loadMore(Request $request)

{

$posts = TestTutorialPost::latest()->paginate(10);

return view('test_tutorial_post.partials.load_more', ['posts' => $posts]);

}

This will create a table called test_tutorial_posts in the minder_mutunet database, and 30 tutorial data records will be prepared.

The command cannot be executed due to an error. Please check the screenshot.

Interview

The error ‘Could not open input file: artisan’ is caused by the execution path not being set to the root of the Laravel project (the directory where the artisan file is located).

Looking at the image, I can see that the current working directory is e:\xampp.

Please run the following command to navigate to the project directory (E:\xampp\htdocs\mutunet), and then run the command again.

Bash

cd htdocs\mutunet

1 2	cd htdocs\mutunet

After moving the files, check that the screen now displays ‘e:\xampp\htdocs\mutunet’, then run the batch creation command again.

Bash

php artisan make:model TestTutorialPost -mfs

1	php artisan make:model TestTutorialPost -mfs

I have captured the results of the command. Please check them.

Perfect! All files have been generated successfully (although Xdebug is displaying some warning messages, this does not affect operation).

As the next step, we will edit each of the generated files.

1. Editing migration files
Open database/migrations/2026_09_05_033942_create_test_tutorial_posts_table.php and add a column within the up() method.

PHP

public function up(): void
{
    Schema::create('test_tutorial_posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->id();
        $table->string('title');
        $table->text('content');
        $table->timestamps();
    });
}

public function up(): void

{

Schema::create('test_tutorial_posts', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->id();

$table->string('title');

$table->text('content');

$table->timestamps();

});

}

2. Editing the factory file Open database/factories/TestTutorialPostFactory.php and edit the definition() method as follows.

PHP

public function definition(): array
{
    return [
        'title' => '[Tutorial Article]' . $this->faker->realText(15),
        'content' => $this->faker->realText(100),
        'created_at' => now(),
        'updated_at' => now(),
    ];
}

public function definition(): array

{

return [

'title' => '[Tutorial Article]' . $this->faker->realText(15),

'content' => $this->faker->realText(100),

'created_at' => now(),

'updated_at' => now(),

];

}

3. Editing the seeder file Open database/seeders/TestTutorialPostSeeder.php and edit the run() method.

PHP

<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use App\Models\TestTutorialPost;

class TestTutorialPostSeeder extends Seeder
{
    public function run(): void
    {
        TestTutorialPost::factory()->count(30)->create();
    }
}

<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;

use App\Models\TestTutorialPost;

class TestTutorialPostSeeder extends Seeder

{

public function run(): void

{

TestTutorialPost::factory()->count(30)->create();

}

Once you have finished editing the file, please run the following command in the Command Prompt to create the database and import the data.

Bash

php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed --class=TestTutorialPostSeeder

1 2	php artisan migrate php artisan db:seed --class=TestTutorialPostSeeder

I can’t bring myself to type the command without fully understanding it.

Please explain the three files you have modified this time. Please explain why no changes need to be made to
/mutunet/app/Models/TestTutorialPost.php.

Interview

I will explain the three files I edited this time and why it was not necessary to modify the model file.

Explanation of the three modified files

Migration (database/migrations/xxxx_xx_xx_xxxxxx_create_test_tutorial_posts_table.php)
- Role: This is a design for creating a new table called ‘test_tutorial_posts’ in the database.
- Changes: The required ‘title’ (string) and ‘content’ (long text) columns have been added to the table.
Factory (database/factories/TestTutorialPostFactory.php)
- Purpose: This is a definition file for automatically generating dummy data for testing purposes.
- Changes: Using the Faker library, I have set up a rule to automatically generate a title in the format ‘[Tutorial Article]…’ and a random body text.
Seeder(database/seeders/TestTutorialPostSeeder.php)
- Purpose: This is an executable file used to populate (insert) the database with initial or test data.
- Changes: Using the factory mentioned earlier, I have written code to generate and save 30 dummy records of the TestTutorialPost type in one go.

Why there is no need to make changes to TestTutorialPost.php

Thanks to the powerful built-in features and naming conventions provided by Laravel’s Eloquent ORM, it works without the need for any additional code. There are three reasons for this:

Automatic table name inference
1. Laravel automatically associates the model class name (TestTutorialPost) with the corresponding database table name (test_tutorial_posts) by converting it from singular form to snake_case plural form. Therefore, there is no need to specify the table name explicitly.
Dynamic retrieval of columns (attributes)
1. Laravel models automatically recognise the database column information created by migrations. You can read from and write to the database directly, without having to explicitly define properties such as title or content within the class (property declarations).
As the main focus this time is on data retrieval (retrieval),
1. The $fillable property (which specifies the columns allowed for bulk saving), commonly defined in model files, is required when saving request data from a form in bulk, as in TestTutorialPost::create([...]). As this tutorial focuses primarily on insertion via seeders (factories) and retrieval and display on the screen (using paginate()), the model class will function perfectly well as it is—in its empty (default) state.

Bash

php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed --class=TestTutorialPostSeeder

php artisan migrate

php artisan db:seed --class=TestTutorialPostSeeder

We have confirmed that the test data has been successfully loaded. The database is now fully prepared!

Next, we will configure and implement the routing, controller and Blade views that we proposed previously to work with the TestTutorialPost model we have created.

1. Routing (routes/web.php)

Add the following code to routes/web.php.

PHP

use App\Http\Controllers\TestTutorialPostController;

Route::get('/test-tutorial/posts', [TestTutorialPostController::class, 'index']);
Route::get('/test-tutorial/posts/load-more', [TestTutorialPostController::class, 'loadMore']);

use App\Http\Controllers\TestTutorialPostController;

Route::get('/test-tutorial/posts', [TestTutorialPostController::class, 'index']);

Route::get('/test-tutorial/posts/load-more', [TestTutorialPostController::class, 'loadMore']);

2. Controller(app/Http/Controllers/TestTutorialPostController.php)

Write the code to retrieve data from the TestTutorialPost model.

PHP

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\TestTutorialPost;

class TestTutorialPostController extends Controller
{
    // Initial access (overview page)
    public function index()
    {
        $posts = TestTutorialPost::latest()->paginate(10);
        return view('test_tutorial_post.index', ['posts' => $posts]);
    }

    // Load more when scrolling (Partial for htmx)
    public function loadMore(Request $request)
    {
        $posts = TestTutorialPost::latest()->paginate(10);
        return view('test_tutorial_post.partials.load_more', ['posts' => $posts]);
    }
}

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Models\TestTutorialPost;

class TestTutorialPostController extends Controller

{

// Initial access (overview page)

public function index()

{

$posts = TestTutorialPost::latest()->paginate(10);

return view('test_tutorial_post.index', ['posts' => $posts]);

}

// Load more when scrolling (Partial for htmx)

public function loadMore(Request $request)

{

$posts = TestTutorialPost::latest()->paginate(10);

return view('test_tutorial_post.partials.load_more', ['posts' => $posts]);

hx-swap="afterend"

<?php endif; ?>>

<h3><?php echo e($post->title); ?></h3>

<p><?php echo e($post->content); ?></p>

</div>

<?php endforeach; ?>

Procedure for checking operation

Check that the development web server (Apache in XAMPP or php artisan serve) is running.
Access /test-tutorial/posts in your browser (e.g. http://localhost/mutunet/public/test-tutorial/posts or the URL configured via a virtual host).
Please check whether 10 cards are displayed initially, and whether the next 10 (taking the total from 20 to 30) are automatically added when you scroll down to the bottom of the page.

It’s never worked first time

10 items are displayed; no further items will be shown.

Interview

Thank you for switching to Chrome and sharing the console logs! The cause is now crystal clear.

Looking at the error log, it shows GET http://localhost/test-tutorial/posts/load-more?page=2 404 (Not Found). Whilst the scroll detection using htmx is functioning correctly and requests are being sent, a 404 error was occurring due to the URL path (the presence or absence of ‘public’).

The current access URL is http://localhost/mutunet/public/test-tutorial/posts, but because an absolute path beginning with a slash (/test-tutorial/posts/load-more…) was specified in htmx’s hx-get, the request is being sent to http://localhost/test-tutorial/posts/… (a URL without the mutunet/public path) at the root of the domain.

Solution

In the hx-get code within resources/views/test_tutorial_post/partials/load_more.blade.php, amend the code to use Laravel’s url() helper so that it generates the correct path, taking into account the current base URL (the ‘public’ subfolder hierarchy).

HTML

<?php 
$total = count($posts);
$i = 0;
foreach ($posts as $post): 
    $i++;
    $isLast = ($i === $total && $posts->hasMorePages());
?>
    <div class="test-tutorial-post-card" 
         style="border: 1px solid #ccc; margin: 30px 0; padding: 40px;"
         <?php if ($isLast): ?>
             hx-get="<?php echo e(url('/test-tutorial/posts/load-more')); ?>?page=<?php echo e($posts->currentPage() + 1); ?>"
             hx-trigger="revealed"
             hx-swap="afterend"
         <?php endif; ?>>
        <h3><?php echo e($post->title); ?></h3>
        <p><?php echo e($post->content); ?></p>
    </div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php

$total = count($posts);

$i = 0;

foreach ($posts as $post):

$i++;

$isLast = ($i === $total && $posts->hasMorePages());

<div class="test-tutorial-post-card"

style="border: 1px solid #ccc; margin: 30px 0; padding: 40px;"

<?php if ($isLast): ?>

hx-get="<?php echo e(url('/test-tutorial/posts/load-more')); ?>?page=<?php echo e($posts->currentPage() + 1); ?>"

hx-trigger="revealed"

hx-swap="afterend"

<?php endif; ?>>

<h3><?php echo e($post->title); ?></h3>

<p><?php echo e($post->content); ?></p>

</div>

<?php endforeach; ?>

Verification Procedure

Save load_more.blade.php.
Perform a hard refresh of the page in Chrome (Ctrl + Shift + R).
Please check whether, when you scroll to the bottom of the screen, the error is resolved and entries 11 to 20 (page 2) are automatically reloaded.

Please write the code in such a way that it is clear which parts require correction and which do not.

Interview

The only part that needs to be amended is the URL output section of the hx-get attribute (line 11). There is no need to change any other syntax or logic.

Please edit resources/views/test_tutorial_post/partials/load_more.blade.php as shown below and save it.

PHP

<?php 
$total = count($posts);
$i = 0;
foreach ($posts as $post): 
    $i++;
    $isLast = ($i === $total && $posts->hasMorePages());
?>
    <div class="test-tutorial-post-card" 
         style="border: 1px solid #ccc; margin: 30px 0; padding: 40px;"
         <?php if ($isLast): ?>
             {{-- ▼ Change: Concatenate the base path (/mutunet/public/) using the url() helper --}}
             hx-get="<?php echo e(url('/test-tutorial/posts/load-more')); ?>?page=<?php echo e($posts->currentPage() + 1); ?>"
             {{-- ▲ End of amendment here (the hx-trigger and hx-swap below do not require amendment) --}}
             hx-trigger="revealed"
             hx-swap="afterend"
         <?php endif; ?>>
        <h3><?php echo e($post->title); ?></h3>
        <p><?php echo e($post->content); ?></p>
    </div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php

$total = count($posts);

$i = 0;

foreach ($posts as $post):

$i++;

$isLast = ($i === $total && $posts->hasMorePages());

<div class="test-tutorial-post-card"

style="border: 1px solid #ccc; margin: 30px 0; padding: 40px;"

<?php if ($isLast): ?>

{{-- ▼ Change: Concatenate the base path (/mutunet/public/) using the url() helper --}}

hx-get="<?php echo e(url('/test-tutorial/posts/load-more')); ?>?page=<?php echo e($posts->currentPage() + 1); ?>"

{{-- ▲ End of amendment here (the hx-trigger and hx-swap below do not require amendment) --}}

hx-trigger="revealed"

hx-swap="afterend"

<?php endif; ?>>

<h3><?php echo e($post->title); ?></h3>

<p><?php echo e($post->content); ?></p>

</div>

<?php endforeach; ?>

Key Points of the Changes

Before correction: hx-get=”/test-tutorial/posts/load-more?page=…”
1. → This resulted in an absolute path starting from the domain root (http://localhost/), which was causing a 404 Not Found error.
After correction: hx-get=”<?php echo e(url(‘/test-tutorial/posts/load-more’)); ?>?page=…”
1. → Using url() will autocomplete the exact URL, including the subdirectory http://localhost/mutunet/public/test-tutorial/posts/load-more.

After saving the file, press Ctrl + Shift + R in Chrome (to clear the cache and reload the page) and check how it behaves when you scroll.

I have confirmed that 30 items are displayed following the additional load.

Implementing Infinite Scroll using htmx in Laravel

This is long story.

File structure to be modified or created

1. Routing (routes/web.php)

2. Controller(app/Http/Controllers/TestTutorialPostController.php)

3. Blade View Implementation

Procedure for Verifying Operation

I can’t bring myself to type the command without fully understanding it.

Explanation of the three modified files

Why there is no need to make changes to TestTutorialPost.php

It’s never worked first time

Solution

Verification Procedure

Ensure URLs are either relative paths (./) or converted to absolute paths using the url method!
