Pass paginated data to alpine?

Question

I get my model

$users = User::all();

Pass to my view:

return view('pages.user.index')
        ->with('users', $users);

But now I want to pass into alpine:

<div x-data="{ items: {{ $users }} }">

That all works!

But if I do:

$users = User::paginate(20);

Then:

<div x-data="{ items: {{ $users->items() }} }">

I get:

htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given

How can I pass a paginated set of data into alpine?

return view('pages.user.index')
        ->with('users', $users->toJson());

<div x-data="{{ $users }}">
  <template x-for="user in data">
    <div x-text="user.name"></div>
  </template>
</div>
