QueryBuilder: Can I make a conditional paginate using .if?

[AshlinR]

I want to be able to conditionally return paginated data. At the moment I have the query wrapped in an if() {} block but this results in duplicate code for the condition where there is no pagination, i.e. same code minus the .paginate().

I'd like to be able to write:

.if(paginate, (query) => {
query.paginate(page, perPage)
})

However, this doesn't work. How can I get this to work?

Do you find a way to execute this ?
