How paginate result of http response with laravel livewire - php

Question

I want to populate a table with calling HTTP request and fetch a JSON fine,
I set up live wire like this which can properly populate the table:
public function render()
{
$this->response = Http::timeout(30)->get('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/lines')->body();
return view('livewire.line-index', ['lines' =>json_decode($this->response)])->layout('layouts.app', ['header' => 'Line Management']);
}
but when I add paginate like this:
public function render()
{
$this->response = Http::timeout(30)->get('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/lines')->body();
return view('livewire.line-index', ['lines' =>json_decode($this->response)->paginate(25)])->layout('layouts.app', ['header' => 'Line Management']);
}
I see this error:
Call to a member function paginate() on array

Solution:
need to convert array to the collection and then creating a macro for using pagination on
collection.
public function render()
{
$this->response = Http::timeout(30)->get('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/lines')->body();
$collection = collect(json_decode($this->response));
return view('livewire.line-index', ['lines' =>$collection->paginate(20)])->layout('layouts.app', ['header' => 'Line Management']);
}
For creating a macro you need to update the AppServiceProvider.php file:
<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\Collection;
use Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator;
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
public function boot()
{
/**
* Paginate a standard Laravel Collection.
*
* #param int $perPage
* #param int $total
* #param int $page
* #param string $pageName
* #return array
*/
Collection::macro('paginate', function($perPage, $total = null, $page = null, $pageName = 'page') {
$page = $page ?: LengthAwarePaginator::resolveCurrentPage($pageName);
return new LengthAwarePaginator(
$this->forPage($page, $perPage),
$total ?: $this->count(),
$perPage,
$page,
[
'path' => LengthAwarePaginator::resolveCurrentPath(),
'pageName' => $pageName,
]
);
});
}
}
