How do I use custom length aware paginator to replace ?page=1 to localhost?

@pshitote You can use a custom pagination provider. For example:

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator;
use Illuminate\Pagination\Paginator;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class PaginatorServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Bootstrap any application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        Paginator::currentPathResolver(function () {
            /** @var LengthAwarePaginator $this */
            return $this->resolveCurrentPath();
        });

        Paginator::currentPageResolver(function ($pageName = 'page') {
            $page = $this->resolveCurrentPage($pageName);

            return $page == 1 ? null : $page;
        });
    }

    /**
     * Register any application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function register()
    {
        //
    }
}

Now in your config/app.php add in the providers array:

'providers' => [
    // ...

    App\Providers\PaginatorServiceProvider::class,

    // ...
],

How would you have Pages after localhost only?

Wouldn't it be like, and just example:

http://localhost/ledger?page=1

Also in more detail exactly what are you trying to do only remove that if page is equal to one, what if there are other pages?

There are a couple of different GitHub packages that will do friendly urls.

Just my opinion but I would stick with out of the box pagination exactly as it is in documentation.

A query string for pagination does not affect SEO.
