Laravel - Pagination doesn't work well - php

Question

I have a view with a table and pagination for this table but when i use de pagination the view is duplicated.
my controller function:
public function index()
{
$items = Items::where('active', '=', 1)->paginate(5);
if (Request::ajax())
{
return View::make('app/items.index')->with('items', $items)->render();
}
else
{
return view('app/items.index', array('items' => $items));
}
}
my jquery:
function pagination()
{
$(document).on("click", ".pagination a", function(e)
{
e.preventDefault();
alert($(this).attr('href'));
$.ajax({
url: $(this).attr('href'),
})
.done(function(data)
{
console.log(data);
$('#listSearchItems').html(data);
});
});
}
my view:
#section('content')
<div class="header"></div>
<div id="listSearchItem" class="content">
<table>
</table>
#if($items->render())
<nav class="pagination">
<a href="{{$items->previousPageUrl()}}">
<i class="material-icons">arrow_back</i>
</a>
<a href="{{$items->nextPageUrl() }}">
<i class="material-icons">arrow_forward</i>
</a>
</nav>
#endif</div>#stop
And when i click at pagination button, the view code is all duplicated within the , the table information is updated but also adds all existing html of view, duplicating code.
Anyone can help me? I already search a lot about this problem, i don't know if is the how to return the information in the controller.
Thank's

there have some problems with your code.
first why you need ajax to render your datas?
if you need use ajax render datas, your controller should be like this:
public function index()
{
$items = Items::where('active', '=', 1)->paginate(5);
if (Request::ajax())
{
$datas = $items->items();
$results = '';
foreach ($datas as $item) {
$results .="<tr><td>{$item->whateverInYourTable}</td><td>{$item->whateverInYourTable}</td></tr>"
}
return $results;
}
else
{
return view('app/items.index', array('items' => $items));
}
}
if you don't need ajax controller should be like this:
public function index()
{
$items = Items::where('active', '=', 1)->paginate(5);
return view('app.items.index', array('items' => $items));
}
view like this:
<nav class="pagination">
{!! $items->render() !!}
</nav>
