Artisan Console Configurations

Namespace configuration is used by the datatables command generator:

<?php
 
return [
    'namespace' => [
        'base'  => 'DataTables',
        'model' => '',
    ],
];

DataTable Base Namespace/Directory

This is the base namespace/directory to be created when a new DataTable is called. This directory is appended to the default Laravel namespace.

Usage:

php artisan datatables:make User

Output: App\DataTables\UserDataTable

Export filename: users_(timestamp)

Model Option

This is the base namespace/directory where your models are located:

Usage:

php artisan datatables:make Post --model

Output: App\DataTables\PostDataTable

With Model: App\Post

Export filename: posts_(timestamp)

PDF Generator

Set the PDF generator to be used when converting your DataTable to PDF:

'pdf_generator' => 'excel', // or 'snappy'

Available generators are: excel, snappy

Excel Generator

When excel is used as the generator, the package will use maatwebsite/excel to generate the PDF.

[!NOTE] To export files to PDF, you will have to include dompdf/dompdf, mpdf/mpdf, or tecnick.com/tcpdf in your composer.json and change the export.pdf.driver config setting accordingly.

Snappy Generator

When snappy is used as the generator, you need to install barryvdh/laravel-snappy:

composer require barryvdh/laravel-snappy

Snappy PDF Options

These are the options passed to laravel-snappy when exporting the PDF file:

<?php
 
return [
    'snappy' => [
        'options' => [
            'no-outline'    => true,
            'margin-left'   => '0',
            'margin-right'  => '0',
            'margin-top'    => '10mm',
            'margin-bottom' => '10mm',
        ],
        'orientation' => 'landscape',
    ],
];
