Hello Artisan
In this tutorial, I am going to share with you how to install and use datatables in laravel 7 application. In this laravel demo datatable tutorial, i will use datatables laravel datatables plugin. I will write step by step tutorial for laravel datatables ajax.
Datatables provide you with quick search, ordering, sorting, pagination, etc. Datatables is a jQuery plugin that allows us to add some advanced interaction controls to your HTML tables data.
Datatables also provide ajax for data searching and getting. you can give a very quick layout for search and sorting using Datatables. We can also implement Datatables in your laravel 7 application.
Step 1: Install Laravel 7
In this step, we have to download a fresh laravel app to create step by step laravel yajra datatable example. So download it by the following command.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel datatable
Step 2 : Install Yajra Datatable Package
Now we have to install yajra datatable package in our laravel app. So run the below command to install it.
composer require yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle
After that, you need to add providers and alias in the following path.
config/app.php
'providers' => [
Yajra\DataTables\DataTablesServiceProvider::class,
]
'aliases' => [
'DataTables' => Yajra\DataTables\Facades\DataTables::class,
]
Step 3: Add Dummy Records
In this, we need to add some dummy records to show datatable. I will create a user list to show it in datatable. I will use tinker to add it quickly.
php artisan tinker
//then
factory(App\User::class, 100)->create();
//
exit
Step 4: Create Route
In this step, we have to set up our route. I won't use any controller to create and show our users. I will simply return the user from the route for demo purposes. So follow the below guide to create laravel datatable.
routes/web.php
//Datatable Route
Route::get('users', function(){
return view('test');
});
Route::get('userslist', function(){
return datatables()->of(\DB::table('users')->select('*'))
->make(true);
})->name('userslist');
Step 5: Create Blade To View Datatable
Now in this final step, we need to create a blade to view datatable. So create test.blade.php and add the following code it.
resources/views/test.blade.php
