use Rappasoft\LaravelLivewireTables\DataTableComponent;
use Rappasoft\LaravelLivewireTables\Views\Column;
use App\Models\User;

class UserTable extends DataTableComponent
{   
    protected $model = User::class;

    public function configure(): void
    {
        $this->setPrimaryKey('id');
        $this->setSearchEnabled();
        $this->setSearchDebounce(1000);
    }

    public function columns(): array
    {
        return [
            Column::make("Id", "id")
                ->sortable(),
            Column::make("Name", "name")
                ->sortable(),
            Column::make("Email", "email")
                ->sortable(),
            Column::make("Created", "created_at")
                ->sortable()
        ];
    }

    public function filters(): array
    {
        return [];
    }
}

Step 5: Create Route

Now we will create one route for calling our example, so let's add a new route to the web.php file as below:

routes/web.php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::get('datatables', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});
