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

$page = Input::get('page', 1);
$paginate = 5;
$recipes = DB::table("recipes")->select("id", "title", "user_id", "description", "created_at")
            ->where("user_id", "=", $id);
$items = DB::table("posts")->select("id", "title", "user_id", "content", "created_at") ->where("user_id", "=", $id)->union($recipes)->get()->toArray();
$slice = array_slice($items, $paginate * ($page - 1), $paginate);
$result = new Paginator($slice , $paginate);
