Basic Usage

use Yajra\DataTables\Facades\DataTables;
use App\Models\User;
 
Route::get('user-data', function() {
    $model = User::query();
 
    return DataTables::eloquent($model)
        ->addColumn('intro', 'Hi {{$name}}!')
        ->make(false);
});

Example Response

    "draw": 1,
    "recordsTotal": 10,
    "recordsFiltered": 3,
    "data": [
        [414, "Abel Cole-name", "[email protected]", "2016-07-31 23:26:10", "2016-07-31 23:26:10"],
