        return new ArticleIndex($articles);

    public function __construct(Collection $articles)
    {
        $this->articles = $articles;
    }
    
    public function toResponse($request)
    {
        if ($request->wantsJson()) {
            return ArticleResource::collection($articles);
        } elseif ($request->wantsRss()) {
            return view('article.rss', compact('articles'));
        } else {
            return view('article.index', compact('articles'));
