在laravel中通过子查询进行分页

Question

The following code will output the 3 first webshops correctly:

public function category($slug) {
    $category = Category::select()
        ->where('slug', $slug)
        ->with(['webshops' => function ($query) {
            $query->groupBy('webshops.id')
                ->where('active', 1)
                ->orderBy('webshops.name')
                ->with(['brands' => function ($query) {
                    $query->where('active', 1)
                        ->where('replace_by', NULL)
                        ->orderBy('name');
                }])
                ->paginate(3);
        }])
        ->first();

    if(!$category)
        abort(404);

    $data['title'] = "Tøjbutikker der forhandler ". $category->name;

    $data['category'] = $category;
    $data['webshops'] = $category->webshops;
    return view('pages/category', $data);
}

Blade template:

                <ul class="webshop-list">
                    @foreach($webshops as $webshop)
                        <li>
                            {{ $webshop->name }}
                        </li>
                   @endforeach
                </ul>
                {{ $webshops->links() }}

But when I insert the pagination code in my blade template:

{{ $category->webshops->links() }}

I get the following error:

Method links does not exist.

I'm following the documentation from here: https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/pagination

You can create paginator manually, but if you want to keep code maintainable, just use two collections:

$category = Category::where('slug', $slug)->first();
$shops = Webshop::whereHas('categories', function($q) use($category) {
                 $q->where('id', $category->id);
             })
             ->groupBy('id')
             ->orderBy('name')
             ->with(['brands' => function ($query) {
                 $query->where('active', 1)
                       ->where('replace_by', null)
                       ->orderBy('name');
             }])
             ->paginate(3);
