Manually created pagination always returning the full list

I couldn't use the paginate()-method anymore cause I needed to add an extra attribute to every element in my collection. The result is that I get the right pagination when rendering but it's always showing all elements on every page.

public function allPaginate($perPage)
{
    $initialCollection = $this->model->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->get();

    // adding slug to my collection for every item
    $initialCollection->each(function ($item) {
        if(! isset($item->slug))
        {
            $slug = Str::slug($item->title);
            $item->slug = $slug;
        }
    });

    $result = new Paginator($initialCollection, count($initialCollection), $perPage);
    $result->setPath(Request::url());

    return $result;
}

Before i just used this:

$paginator = $this->model->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->paginate($perPage);

I have 3 elements in my database and I want to show 2 per page. Here are the dumps of the two versions.

As it should be (with the ->paginate()) with 2 items in the collection

LengthAwarePaginator {#362 ▼

#total: 3

#lastPage: 2

#items: Collection {#364 ▼

#items: array:2 [▼

  0 => News {#365 ▶}

  1 => News {#366 ▶}

]

}

#perPage: 2

#currentPage: 1

#path: "http://jv.app/nl/nieuws/"

#query: []

#fragment: null

#pageName: "page"

}

As it is now (with new Paginator::make()) with 3 items in the collection

LengthAwarePaginator {#358 ▼

#total: 3

#lastPage: 2

#items: Collection {#368 ▼

#items: array:3 [▼

  0 => News {#369 ▶}

  1 => News {#370 ▶}

  2 => News {#371 ▶}

]

}

#perPage: 2

#currentPage: 1

#path: "http://jv.app/nl/nieuws"

#query: []

#fragment: null

#pageName: "page"

}

What is the issue here?

public function allPaginate($perPage) { $result = $this->model->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->paginate($perPage); // adding slug to my collection for every item $result->each(function ($item) { if(! isset($item->slug)) { $slug = Str::slug($item->title); $item->slug = $slug; } }); return $result; }
