Question

Brief:

But

Answer 1

The accepted answer works great for Query Builder.

But here's my approach for Laravel Eloquent Builder.

Assume that we're referring to same Model

$q1 = Model::createByMe();       // some condition
$q2 = Model::createByMyFriend(); // another condition

$q2->union($q1);
$querySql = $q2->toSql();

$query = Model::from(DB::raw("($querySql) as a"))->select('a.*')->addBinding($q2->getBindings());

$paginated_data = $query->paginate();

I'm using Laravel 5.6
