    "autoload": {
        "files": [
            "app/helpers.php"
        ],
    // ...

• Execute the composer dump command to update the autoloaded files
• Execute the php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-pagination command to publish the pagination views
• Save the custom.blade.php file in the resources/views/vendor/pagination directory

custom.blade.php

@if ($paginator->hasPages())
    <ul class="pagination">
        {{-- Previous Page Link --}}
        @if ($paginator->onFirstPage())
            <li class="disabled"><span>&laquo;</span></li>
        @else
            <li><a href="{{ $paginator->previousPageUrl() }}" rel="prev">&laquo;</a></li>
        @endif

        {{-- Pagination Elements --}}
        @foreach (pagination_links($paginator, 10) as $page => $url)
            @if ($page == $paginator->currentPage())
                <li class="active"><span>{{ $page }}</span></li>
            @else
                <li><a href="{{ $url }}">{{ $page }}</a></li>
            @endif

        @if ($paginator->hasMorePages())
            <li><a href="{{ $paginator->nextPageUrl() }}" rel="next">&raquo;</a></li>
