I have a view in (inbox/pagination.blade.php)

Here is the contents

@if($paginator->getLastPage() > 1)
    <span class="text-muted"><strong>{{ $paginator->getFrom() }} - {{ $paginator->getTo() }}</strong> of <strong>{{ $paginator->total() }}</strong></span>
    <div class="btn-group btn-group">
        <a href="{{ $paginator->getUrl(1) }}" class="btn btn-dark {{ ($paginator->getCurrentPage() == 1) ? ' disabled' : '' }}"><span class="fa fa-chevron-left"></span></a>
        <a href="{{ $paginator->getUrl($paginator->getCurrentPage()+1) }}" class="btn btn-dark {{ ($paginator->getCurrentPage() == $paginator->getLastPage()) ? ' disabled' : '' }}"><span class="fa fa-chevron-right"></span></a>
    </div>
@endif

In my inbox blade, I render the pagination with

{{ $conversations->links('inbox.pagination') }}

but it returns the following error

Method Illuminate\View\View::__toString() must not throw an exception

From all the tutorials I have found on customizing pagination, they only allowed you to change the wrapping element and not the actual links, and how they are displayed. How can I use my custom view to render my pagination links?

I do not want to override the default pagination, only the pagination for specific blades. (hence the view passed to the links in the blade)
