• Export Functionality: Built-in functionality for easily exporting query results.

Installation

You can install the package via Composer. Simply run the following command:

composer require stianscholtz/laravel-data-table

Usage

Generating Data Tables

To generate a data table, use the provided Artisan command:

php artisan make:data-table YourDataTableProvider

Defining Data Tables

In your data table class, you define the query and columns. For example:

use Illuminate\Contracts\Database\Query\Builder;
use Stianscholtz\LaravelDataTable\DataTableBuilder;
use Stianscholtz\LaravelDataTable\DataTableProvider;
use DB;

class YourDataTableProvider extends DataTableProvider
{
    protected bool $exportable = false;

    public function query(): Builder
    {
        /** @var Model $model */
        $model = request()->route('model');

        return DB::table('users')
        ->where('condition1', 'value')
        ->where('condition2', request('value'))
        ->when($model, fn(Builder $query) => $query->where('condition3', 'value'))
        ->select('users.id');//If you want to include the id in the data set.
    }

    public function columns(DataTableBuilder $builder): void
    {
        $builder->numberColumn('users.id', 'id', 'ID');

        if (!request()->route('model')) {
            $builder->textColumn('model.field', 'field', 'Field Name', false);
        }

        $builder->textColumn('users.name', 'user', 'User')
            ->enumColumn('users.status', 'status', 'Status')
            ->booleanColumn('IF(users.active, \'Yes\', \'No\')', 'active', 'Active')
            ->dateColumn('users.updated_at', 'updated_at', 'Updated At');
    }
}

Controller

public function index()
{
    return view('view.name', [
        'variable' => 'value',
        ...YourDataTableProvider::get(),
    ]);
    //OR
    return view('view.name', YourDataTableProvider::get(['variable' => 'value']));
}

Filtering Data

The package automatically handles filtering data based on the supplied search term. Simply pass a 'term' in the request, and the package will filter the data accordingly.

Exporting Data

The package automatically handles exporting data when $exportable is true and there is a 'export' key with a value of '1' in the request. The value of $exportable will also be available on the client side to determine if an export button should be visible.
