Request parameter default value

Here we are checking if there is a per_page (or any other parameter) value then we will use it, otherwise, we will use a default one.

// Isteand of this
$perPage = request()->per_page ? request()->per_page : 20;
 
// You can do this
$perPage = request('per_page', 20);
