So let’s follow this tutorial and you will get the layout like bellow
Step 1: Install Laravel
In this step, if you haven’t laravel application setup then we have to get a fresh laravel 7 application. So run the bellow command and get a clean new laravel 7 application.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blogStep 2 : Install Yajra Datatable
We need to install yajra datatable composer package for datatable so that you can install using the following command:
composer require yajra/laravel-datatables-oracleAfter that, you need to set providers and alias.
config/app.php
.....'providers' => [....Yajra\DataTables\DataTablesServiceProvider::class,]'aliases' => [....'DataTables' => Yajra\DataTables\Facades\DataTables::class,].....
Step 3: Add Dummy Records
In this step, we will create some dummy users using the tinker factory. so let’s create dummy records using the below command:
php artisan tinkerfactory(App\User::class, 200)->create();
Step 4: Add Route
In this step, we need to create a route for the datatables layout file and another one for getting data. so open your routes/web.php file and add the following route.
routes/web.php
Step 5: Create Controller
In this point, now we should create a new controller as UserController. this controller will manage the layout and getting data requests and return responses, so put the below content in the controller file:
app/Http/Controllers/UserController.php
<?phpnamespace App\Http\Controllers;use App\User;use Illuminate\Http\Request;use DataTables;class UserController extends Controller{/*** Display a listing of the resource.** @return \Illuminate\Http\Response*/public function index(Request $request){if ($request->ajax()) {$data = User::select('*');return Datatables::of($data)->addIndexColumn()->editColumn('created_at', function ($user) {return ['display' => e($user->created_at->format('m/d/Y')),'timestamp' => $user->created_at->timestamp];})->filterColumn('created_at', function ($query, $keyword) {$query->whereRaw("DATE_FORMAT(created_at,'%m/%d/%Y') LIKE ?", ["%$keyword%"]);})->make(true);}return view('users');}}
Step 6: Create a View
In the Last step, let’s create users.blade.php(resources/views/users.blade.php) for layout and we will write design code here and put the following code:
resources/views/users.blade.php
