Html Builder

DataTables has a built-in html builder that you can use to automatically generate your table mark-up and javascripts declarations.

Html Builder via Dependency Injection

You can use the Builder class by using Dependency Injection.

use Yajra\DataTables\Html\Builder;
 
Route::get('users', function(Builder $builder) {
//
});

$builder = $dataTable->getHtmlBuilder();
});
