How to send pagination to ajax request?
A simple ajax pass example:

$posts=Post::where('category_id', $category)->paginate(10);
$html = view('main', compact('posts'))->render();
return response()->json(['html' => $html]);

And I need to pass the pagination object
. If you do this:

$posts=Post::where('category_id', $category)->paginate(10);
$html = view('main', compact('posts'))->render();
$paginate = $posts->links();
return response()->json(['html' => $html, 'paginate' => $paginate]);

Returns the paginate field empty
