If you look at the Laravel document (Paginator Instance Methods) here

it says:

$results->firstItem()

Get the result number of the first item in the results.

In another mean,

$results->firstItem()

will get the result id of the first item in the results.

You can see its function definition here. It says : Get the number of the first item in the slice.

Before you continue with the rest of this tutorial, I would like to introduce two packages for Laravel that I have recently developed: Laravel Pay Pocket, a modern multi-wallet package, and Laravel Failed Jobs, a UI for the Laravel Failed Jobs Table. I hope they may be of help to you.

Example:

If you pass to the view something like this:

$users = User::all()->paginate(3);
return view('/', compact('users'));

You can generate rows while incrementing rows number with Laravel pagination using such part of code:

@foreach($users as $key => $user)
<tr>
<td>{{ $users->firstItem() + $key }}</td>
<td>{{ $user->name }}</td>
<td>{{ $user->email }}</td>
</tr>
@endforeach

For a better view:

Don’t forget to clap for this article if you gained something. And share if you care about other developers in the community.
