Call to a member function paginate() on array when use in variable

Question

I get information from the web service but this error is given when I try to do the pagination I saw other questions but they all took information from the database and did not help my problem.

Call to a member function paginate() on array (View: /media/mojtaba/Work/Project/bit/resources/views/backend/crypto/cryptolist.blade.php)

and my code:

    public function render()
    {
        try {
                $api = new \Binance\API('api','secret');
                $prices = $api->coins();
                $one = json_encode($prices, true);

                $coins = json_decode($one , true);
            return view('livewire.backend.crypto.cryptolist')->with('coins' , $coins->paginate(10));
        }catch(\Exception $e)
        {
            return view('wrong')->with('e' , $e);
        }
    }

You should use Collection for this, but collection has no paginate method but we can use macros to extend it

Open AppServiceProvider.php and paste this on boot method

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,
        ]
    );
});

also import this incase

use Illuminate\Support\Collection;
use Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator;

then in your render method you can, use collect([...])->paginate(10) just like below

public function render() {
    try {
        $api = new \Binance\API('api','secret');
        $coins = $api->coins();

        return view('livewire.backend.crypto.cryptolist')->with('coins',collect($coins)->paginate(10));
    } catch(\Exception $e) {
        return view('wrong')->with('e' , $e);
    }
}

Reference for extending paginate method with Collection using macros.
