Laravel Pagination from merge() - laravel

Question

I've merges 2 Collections:
use Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator as Paginator;
...
$towni18n = TownI18n::where(...)->get();
$town = Town::where(...)->get();
$all = $towni18n->merge($town);
$perPage = 10;
$input = \Input::all();
if (isset($input['page']) && !empty($input['page'])) { $currentPage = $input['page']; } else { $currentPage = 1; }
$paginator = new Paginator($all, $all->count(), $perPage, $currentPage);
return $paginator;
The output is not following the pagation but returns all the results:
{
total: 547,
per_page: 10,
current_page: 1,
last_page: 55,
next_page_url: "/?page=2",
prev_page_url: null,
from: 1,
to: 547,
data: [
{
id: 1423550,
...
Any idea how to fix this ?

Answer 1

It seems that you have to slice manually. From the Laravel 5.1 doc:
"When manually creating a paginator instance, you should manually
"slice" the array of results you pass to the paginator."
So the answer is:
$arr = $all->toArray();
$offset = ($currentPage * $perPage) - $perPage;
$arr_splice = array_slice($arr, $offset, $perPage, true);
$paginator = new Paginator($arr_splice, count($arr), $perPage, $currentPage);
