    Datatables With Laravel

    When creating a web app it usually involves creating a dashboard and a place for the user to see data pertaining to their company. You can create a normal table like below but then you will have to add your own sorting and searching functionalities.

     

    Name Surname Account Type
    Rayne Logan Admin

     

    That is why I like to use Datatables.net they easy to use and have a lot of different add-ons.

    Steps on installing the basic Datatables into your Laravel app:

      1. resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php
      2. On your view that you will be displaying the table
        •  
      3. Now you have a Datatable implemented on your site.

     

    Note: If you have multiple tables on one view make sure that each of them has a different id and that you have called the function in your script tags for each table.

     

    Addons that I use frequently:

    • StateSave:
      • Whenever your user comes back to the page the datatable remembers the state they left it in (eg. what was sorted).
    • File Export:
      • Adds buttons - to print; export as a pdf, csv or excel; and copy - above your table.
    • Regex Search:
      •   I used this to allow my users to search for multiple terms separated by a space or a comma.

     

    Happy coding!
