WARNING You're browsing the documentation for an old version of LARAVEL-DATATABLES. Consider upgrading your project to laravel-datatables 12.0.

Custom Actions

You can enable custom actions on your buttons as follows:

Update UsersDataTable class and overload the actions property. Here we are disabling the csv and pdf actions (so they cannot be fired by hijacking their request) and enabling a myCustomAction.

namespace App\DataTables;
 
use App\User;
use Yajra\DataTables\Services\DataTable;
 
class UsersDataTable extends DataTable
{
    protected array $actions = ['print', 'excel', 'myCustomAction'];
 
    public function html()
    {
        return $this->builder()
                    ->columns($this->getColumns())
                    ->dom('Bfrtip')
                    ->buttons([
                        'print',
                        'excel',
                        'myCustomAction',
                    ]);
    }
 
    public function myCustomAction()
    {
        //...your code here.
    }
 
}

Take a look at Yajra\DataTables\Services\DataTable to see how to fetch and manipulate the data (functions excel, csv, pdf).
