can I send meta data without using eloquent resources ?

Hello , I am trying to make pagination for the table , but I don't know how to pass meta data because I didn't use eloquent api resources

   public function index()
    {
        $users=User::has('learner')
        ->with('learner')
        ->orderBy('id')
        ->filter(request()->only('search'))
        ->paginate()
        ->withQueryString();

        return Inertia::render('Learner/Index', [
            'filters' => request()->all('search'),
            'users' => $users->map(function ($user) {
                return [
                    'id' => $user->id,
                    'reference_id' => $user->reference_id,
                    'email' => $user->email,
                    'name' => $user->learner->first_name.' '.$user->learner->second_name.' '.$user->learner->last_name ,
                    'mobile' => $user->learner->mobile,
                    'status' => $user->learner->status,
                ];
            }),
        ]);
    }

I want to implement what this guy did https://github.com/Landish/pingcrm-react/blob/main/resources/js/Shared/Pagination.js

I can't get the label,active,url , do I have to make resources ?

Yes, you can send meta data without using eloquent resources. You can use the links() method on the paginator instance to get the meta data. For example:

$users=User::has('learner')
    ->with('learner')
    ->orderBy('id')
    ->filter(request()->only('search'))
    ->paginate()
    ->withQueryString();

$meta = $users->links();

return Inertia::render('Learner/Index', [
    'filters' =&gt; request()->all('search'),
    'users' =&gt; $users->map(function ($user) {
        return [
            'id' =&gt; $user->id,
            'reference_id' =&gt; $user->reference_id,
            'email' =&gt; $user->email,
            'name' =&gt; $user->learner->first_name.' '.$user->learner->second_name.' '.$user->learner->last_name ,
            'mobile' =&gt; $user->learner->mobile,
            'status' =&gt; $user->learner->status,
        ];
    }),
    'meta' => $meta
]);

The links() method will return an array of meta data, including the labels, active page, and URLs for the pagination links.

@LaryAI how do I access the labels, active page, and URLs from the meta variable in the frontend React

The main difference between a JSON resource and a JSON collection is that a resource extends the JsonResource class and expects a single resource to be passed when being instantiated while a collection extends the ResourceCollection class and expects a collection as the argument when being instantiated.
