Laravel Pagination not working in Blade file with Tailwind CSS - laravel

Question

I'm trying to use Laravel pagination. The issue is that when I use the links() method in the Blade file, it gives an error. For example, when I use the URL "http://127.0.0.1:8000/tournaments?page=3," it works fine, but it gives an error in the Blade file, as explained below.
Controller
public function index()
{
return view('front.tournaments', [
'seriesdata' => $this->tournamentList()
]);
}
public function tournamentList()
{
return Series::leftJoin('team_squads as ts', 'ts.id_series', 'series.id')
->leftJoin('series_team_squads as sts', 'sts.id_series', 'series.id')
->leftJoin('admins as a', 'a.adminable_id', 'series.id')
->where('series.lang', 'en')
->orderBy('series.id', 'asc')
->groupBy('series.id')
->select('series.*')
->paginate(10)
->append([
'logo_url',
'location'
]);
}
Blade
#foreach($seriesdata as $series)
<div class="flex flex-inline xs:flex-col sm:flex-row">
<div class="w-full border-b">
<div class="flex justify-center items-start">
<div class="py-2 mx-auto sm:bg-white xs:bg-white w-full">
<a href="{{ url('tournaments/').'/'.$series->url.'/'.$series->id }}" class="flex">
<div class="grid grid-rows-1 grid-flow-col gap-1">
<div class="row-span-1 col-span-2">
<img src="{{ $series->logo_url }}" alt="avatar" class="object-cover w-12 h-12 mx-4">
</div>
<div class="row-span-1 col-span-2">
<h1 class="font-bold text-lg">{{ $series->name }}</h1>
<p class="uppercase font-light text-sm text-grey">{{ $series->location->address }}</p>
</div>
</div>
</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
#endforeach
{{ $seriesdata->links() }}
Error

Answer 1

It looks like your append() method is blocking pagination in blade. Try to remove it from tournamentList() in controller.
When you do ->append() after the ->paginate(), you are transforming what ->paginate() returns (basically a LenghtAwarePaginator) into a Collection, and Collection does not have a ->links() method. You can see this as the error shows you are trying to call links method in Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection, that is how I know what ->append() is returning.
