API Resources - Resource Collections - Pagination meta data disappear I'm studying this https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/eloquent-resources
This code will return 5 articles + pagination meta data (current page, last_page etc.)
$publications = Publication::paginate(5);
$publications = PublicationResource::collection($publications);
return $publications;
Great.
Now I will generate resource for controlling collections of models. And allows me add some extra metadata into response. (author, version, date)
$publications = Publication::paginate(5);
$publications = new PublicationCollection(PublicationResource::collection($publications));
return $publications;
Which works. I will get 5 articles + my extra meta data.
BUT pagination data are gone. And no matter what I try I can't get pagination meta data back.
Well, if you are going to use a dedicated resource collection class, then you do not have to use the static collection method which returns an AnonymousResourceCollection. At the moment, you are wrapping a collection inside another collection.
It's one or the other, not both.
