DESCRIPTION

It appears it's not possible to get pagination links or total meta in included resource collection. Perhaps it's more of missing feature than bug...

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Running the example JsonApiDotNetCoreExample and making request http://localhost:14140/api/people?fields[people]=assignedTodoItems&include=assignedTodoItems&page[size]=2,assignedTodoItems:2 returns payload:

{
  "links": {

      },
      "links": {
        "self": "/api/todoItems/76"
      }
    }
  ],
  "meta": {
    "total": 50
  }
}

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

I'd expect pagination links and total meta for any included collection data.

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR

Pagination links and total meta appears not to be available for included collection data.
