Laravel - Union + Paginate at the same time?

Question

Brief:

I am trying to union 2 tables recipes and posts then add ->paginate(5) to the queries.

But

Answer 1

I had this same problem, and unfortunately I couldn't get the page links with {{ $result->links() }}, but I found another way to write the pagination part and the page links appears

Custom data pagination with Laravel 5

//Create a new Laravel collection from the array data
$collection = new Collection($searchResults);

//Define how many items we want to be visible in each page
$perPage = 5;

//Slice the collection to get the items to display in current page
$currentPageSearchResults = $collection->slice($currentPage * $perPage, $perPage)->all();

//Create our paginator and pass it to the view
$paginatedSearchResults= new LengthAwarePaginator($currentPageSearchResults, count($collection), $perPage);

return view('search', ['results' => $paginatedSearchResults]);
