/**
  * Builds a Resource instance for given items.
  * This is typically used when a ResourceMenuItem triggers a call for items.
  *
  * This method also supports pagination, either manually or automatically.
  * To automatically use pagination, simply provide a Paginator as items.
  *
  * @param String          $modelName   the name of the model the items represent.
  * @param array|Paginator $items       an array of instances of the model to be shown, or a Paginator containing the instances.
  * @param String          $targetUrl   (optional) The target url for the items. Must contain '%d' in the place of the item id.
  * @param String          $nextPageUrl (optional) The url to the next page, if any.
  * @param int             $offset      (optional) The offset to start the order from.
  * @param ModelConfig     $config      (optional) The `ModelConfig` to use.
  *
  * @return Resource The built LinkMenuItems.
