Laravel Paginate Collection or Array

paginate.php

<?php
/**
  * Gera a paginação dos itens de um array ou collection.
  *
  * @param array|Collection      $items
  * @param int   $perPage
  * @param int  $page
  * @param array $options
  *
  * @return LengthAwarePaginator
  */
public function paginate($items, $perPage = 15, $page = null, $options = [])
{
	$page = $page ?: (Paginator::resolveCurrentPage() ?: 1);

	$items = $items instanceof Collection ? $items : Collection::make($items);

	return new LengthAwarePaginator($items->forPage($page, $perPage), $items->count(), $perPage, $page, $options);
}

Is there a recomendend place to put this?

I created a 'Utils/Utils.php' in the 'App' folder and kept every repeatedly used special function there.

I solve it can access it from collect() function like collect([2=>'some think', 9 => 'Hi'])
so go to AppServiceProvider.php and past this in boot function

/** * Bootstrap any application services. * * @return void */ public function boot() { /** * Paginate a standard Laravel Collection. * * @param int $perPage * @param int $total * @param int $page * @param string $pageName * @return array */ Collection::macro('paginate', function($perPage, $total = null, $page = null, $pageName = 'page') { $page = $page ?: LengthAwarePaginator::resolveCurrentPage($pageName); return new LengthAwarePaginator( $this->forPage($page, $perPage)->values(), $total ?: $this->count(), $perPage, $page, [ 'path' => LengthAwarePaginator::resolveCurrentPath(), 'pageName' => $pageName, ] ); }); }

I solve it

collect( [ 2 => 'Some value', 5 => 'other value' ] )->paginate(15)

How can i use $collection->links()?
I got this error actually: Method Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection::links does not exist.
PS: very intuitive solution!!
