This package is a plugin for Laravel DataTables to support Mongodb using Laravel Mongodb

Requirements

• Laravel Mongodb >= 5.1

Documentation

• Laravel DataTables Documentation

This plugin provides most functionalities described in the Laravel Datatables documentation. See Known issues below

Installation

composer require diego-drese/laravel-datatables-mongodb:^1.0

Configure

Check the Laravel DataTables configuration for how to configure and use it.

If you want the datables() and/or of methods to automatically use the correct datatables engine,

Unfortunately we cant use auto-discovery yet, this package will be discoverd before laravel-datatables is and that will overwrite the engines config at the moment

or open the config/datatables.php file and add the engines manually to the config:

    /**
     * Datatables list of available engines.
     * This is where you can register your custom datatables engine.
     */
    'engines'        => [
        // The Jenssegers\Mongodb classes extend the default Query/Eloquent classes
        // thus the engines need to be listed above the default engines
        // to make sure they are tried first
        'moloquent'      => DiegoDrese\DataTables\MongodbDataTable::class,
        'mongodb-query'  => DiegoDrese\DataTables\MongodbQueryDataTable::class,
        'mongodb-hybrid' => DiegoDrese\DataTables\HybridMongodbQueryDataTable::class,

        'eloquent'       => Yajra\DataTables\EloquentDataTable::class,
        'query-builder'  => Yajra\DataTables\QueryDataTable::class,
        'collection'     => Yajra\DataTables\CollectionDataTable::class,
    ],

    /**
     * Datatables accepted builder to engine mapping.
     * This is where you can override which engine a builder should use
     * Note, only change this if you know what you are doing!
     */
    'builders'       => [
        MongoDB\Laravel\Eloquent\Builder::class             => 'moloquent',
        MongoDB\Laravel\Query\Builder::class                => 'mongodbQuery',
        MongoDB\Laravel\Helpers\EloquentBuilder::class      => 'eloquent',
        //Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\Relation::class => 'eloquent',
        //Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder::class            => 'eloquent',
        //Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::class               => 'query',
        //Illuminate\Support\Collection::class                   => 'collection',
    ],

Usage

Use the datatables() method

For this to work you need to have the class definitions added to the engines and builders datatables configuration, see above.

use \App\MyMongodbModel;

$datatables = datatables(MyMongodbModel::all());

Use the dataTable class directly.

use Pimlie\DataTables\MongodbDataTable;

return (new MongodbDataTable(App\User::where('id', '>', 1))->toJson()

Use via trait.

• Add the MongodbDataTableTrait trait to your model.

use MongoDB\Laravel\Eloquent\Model;
use DiegoDrese\DataTables\Traits\MongodbDataTableTrait;

class User extends Model
{
	use MongodbDataTableTrait;
}

• Call dataTable() directly on your model.

Route::get('users/data', function() {
	return User::dataTable()->toJson();
});

Known issues

• the orderColumn and orderColumns methods are empty placeholders and do nothing
• there is currently no support for viewing/searching/ordering on (non-embedded) relationships between Models (eg through a user.posts column key)
