Raw Columns
By default, Laravel DataTables protects us from XSS attack by escaping all our outputs.
In cases where you want to render an html content, please use rawColumns
api.
use DataTables; Route::get('user-data', function() { $model = App\User::query(); return DataTables::eloquent($model) ->addColumn('link', '<a href="#">Html Column</a>') ->addColumn('action', 'path.to.view') ->rawColumns(['link', 'action']) ->toJson();});
