Change number of rows shown in datatable in Backpack for Laravel

Question

Is there another way to change how many rows are shown in the table other than overwriting the list.blade.php file?

Answer 1

It's a little-known API method, but you can do that by calling this in your EntityCrudController:

$this->crud->setDefaultPageLength(10); // number of rows shown in table view

Answer 2

A lot of time has passed. At the moment with the current version of Backpack (v 4.1.X) there is a setting in the configuration file in config/backpack/crud.php named defaultPageLength that controls the page length globally. If page length for a single CRUD controller should be changed, then $this->crud->setDefaultPageLength(50) is still the way to go.
