php - Get Pagination after filter on collection Laravel ← (PHP, Laravel)

I am using Laravel query builder to get data. Once I received data I put some filters to get relevant data, But after getting relevant data I lost default pagination. Any solution to come up against this problem ? Thanks in advance. My Code is

        $tests = DB::table('view_tests')->whereIn('metric_id',$metricsIds)->paginate(4);

        $tests = $tests->filter(function ($item) use ($var) {
                    return false !== stristr($item->name, $var) || 
                    false !== stristr($item->section_name, $var) || 
                    false !== stristr($item->method, $var) || 
                    false !== stristr($item->limit, $var) || 
                    false !== stristr($item->accredited_detail, $var);

               return view('frontend.test_detailes',compact('tests'))->render();

And on View am using

              {{ $tests->links() }}

Erro : Method Illuminate\Support\Collection::links does not exist.

Solution:

To increase performance, consider moving your filtering to the query builder instead of on the paginated results. This will also solve your problem regarding paginating. there are two options here:

Use the query builder (preferred)

The filters you have used in your example can be used on the query builder instead, as follows:

$tests = DB::table('view_tests')
    ->whereIn('metric_id',$metricsIds)
    ->where('name', '=', $var)
    ->paginate(4);

You can chain multiple constraints here. Please consult the Laravel documentation

Manually creating a paginator

Another option, which I would not advise, is to manually create a paginator. So change the ->paginate(4); and create the paginator after filtering.
