AnonymousResourceCollection calls withResponse of the collect class

[stijn1989]

When you have a resource class CompanyResource and you have an endpoint to list all companies. The controller looks like this:

return CompanyResource::collection(Companies::query()->get());

But when you override the method withResponse($request, $response) in the CompanyResource class, it's not called. That's because the ResponseResource#toResponse() function calls the $this->resource->withResponse(...). And $this->resource is an object of the class AnonymousResourceCollection.

You can solve this by creating an extra ResourceCollection collection like CompanyCollection and overrie the withResponse there. And not use the static function collection on the Resource class.

Or can't we just implement that when it's a anonymous collection, it calls the withResponse of the resource?
