WARNING You're browsing the documentation for an old version of LARAVEL-DATATABLES. Consider upgrading your project to laravel-datatables 10.0.

Collection Data Source

You may use Laravel's Collection as data source for your dataTables. You can look at Yajra\Datatables\Enginges\CollectionEngine class which handles the conversion of your Collection into a readbale DataTable API response.

Collection via Factory

use Datatables;
 
Route::get('user-data', function() {
$collection = collect([
['id' => 1, 'name' => 'John'],
['id' => 2, 'name' => 'Jane'],
['id' => 3, 'name' => 'James'],
]);
 
return Datatables::of($collection)->make(true);
});

Collection via Facade

use Datatables;
 
Route::get('user-data', function() {
$collection = collect([
['id' => 1, 'name' => 'John'],
['id' => 2, 'name' => 'Jane'],
['id' => 3, 'name' => 'James'],
]);
 
return Datatables::queryBuilder($collection)->make(true);
});

Collection via Dependency Injection

use Yajra\Datatables\Datatables;
 
Route::get('user-data', function(Datatables $datatables) {
$collection = collect([
['id' => 1, 'name' => 'John'],
['id' => 2, 'name' => 'Jane'],
['id' => 3, 'name' => 'James'],
]);
 
return $datatables->queryBuilder($collection)->make(true);
});

Collection via IoC

 
Route::get('user-data', function() {
$collection = collect([
['id' => 1, 'name' => 'John'],
['id' => 2, 'name' => 'Jane'],
['id' => 3, 'name' => 'James'],
]);
 
return app('datatables')->queryBuilder($collection)->make(true);
});
