Laravel custom pagination on page 2 return as object

Question

Laravel custom pagination page 2 result return as object not array.

This is my code of custom pagination

function custom_paginate($data)
{
    //Get current page form url e.g. &page=6
    $currentPage = LengthAwarePaginator::resolveCurrentPage();

    //Create a new Laravel collection from the array data
    $collection = new Collection($data);

    //Define how many items we want to be visible in each page
    $per_page = (int) per_page();

    //Slice the collection to get the items to display in current page
    $currentPageResults = $collection->slice(($currentPage - 1) * $per_page, $per_page)->all();

    //Create our paginator and add it to the data array
    $data['results'] = new LengthAwarePaginator($currentPageResults, count($collection), $per_page);

    //Set base url for pagination links to follow e.g custom/url?page=6
    return $data['results']->setPath(request()->url());
}

when i am at page 1 data is coming as array but in same code if i passed page=2result is coming as object.

Expected result

{
"current_page": 2,
"data": [
    {
        "_id": 34,
        "state": "Andaman & Nicobar Islands",

i am not sure but the problem is in $currentPageResults = $collection->slice(($currentPage - 1) * $per_page, $per_page)->all(); this line.

Thanks in advance. :)

Answer 1

Change

$currentPageResults = $collection->slice(($currentPage - 1) * $per_page, $per_page)->all();

to

$currentPageResults = $collection->slice(($currentPage - 1) * $per_page, $per_page)->values();
