如何在资源集合中获取分页链接 - Laravel 5.7.19

Question

I am working with laravel API resource. when we don't use any resource collection we get pagination links etc with paginate(10). but when i use Resource::collection i get nothing, just the fields i put in resource.

This is my Controller

return response()->json([
  "items" => LatestProjectsResource::collection(Project::has('pages')->where('type', $type)->latest()->paginate(20))
]);

And this is my Resource

public function toArray($request)
    {
        return [
            'id' => $this->id,
            'title' => $this->name,
            'slug' => $this->slug,
            'url' => $this->url,
            'thumbnail' => new ThumbnailResource($this->thumbnail),
        ];
    }

Result

I tried some answers from online community including this Customising Laravel 5.5 Api Resource Collection pagination one but its not working

I tried $this->collection but no luck

Please help me out here.

You can get it like

use App\User;
use App\Http\Resources\UserCollection;

Route::get('/users', function () {
    return new UserCollection(User::paginate());
});

see documentation

The result will be like

{
    "data": [
        {
            "id": 1,
            "name": "Eladio Schroeder Sr.",
            "email": "[e-mail]",
        },
        {
            "id": 2,
            "name": "Liliana Mayert",
            "email": "[e-mail]",
        }
    ],
    "links":{
        "first": "http://example.com/pagination?page=1",
        "last": "http://example.com/pagination?page=1",
        "prev": null,
        "next": null
    },
    "meta":{
        "current_page": 1,
        "from": 1,
        "last_page": 1,
        "path": "http://example.com/pagination",
        "per_page": 15,
        "to": 10,
        "total": 10
    }
}
