[leognmotta]

I would like to make changes to this object:

"meta": {
    "total": 1,
    "per_page": 15,
    "current_page": 1,
    "last_page": 1,
    "first_page": 1,
    "first_page_url": "/?page=1",
    "last_page_url": "/?page=1",
    "next_page_url": null,
    "previous_page_url": null
  }

You can construct the meta object yourself using the properties + methods available on the Pagination class instance.

Can you provide an example how to edit that object?

You can use this!

thank you! I know is the SimplePaginator class, I was wondering how to construct the meta object without editing the class

You can extract data, create you custom object and replace it in the object before to return it to the client, all in the controller.

This can inpire you
