Set Filtered Records

In some cases, we need to manually set the filtered records count of our DataTables and skip its internal counting functionality. To achieve this, use the setFilteredRecords($count) API.

Basic Usage

use Yajra\DataTables\Facades\DataTables;
use App\Models\User;
 
Route::get('user-data', function() {
    $model = User::query();
 
    return DataTables::eloquent($model)
        ->setFilteredRecords(100)
        ->toJson();
});

Common Use Cases

Combined with Set Total Records

use Yajra\DataTables\Facades\DataTables;
use App\Models\User;
 
Route::get('user-data', function() {
    $model = User::query();
    $totalCount = User::count();
    $filteredCount = User::where('status', 'active')->count();
 
    return DataTables::eloquent($model)
        ->setTotalRecords($totalCount)
        ->setFilteredRecords($filteredCount)
        ->toJson();
});

Performance Optimization

use Yajra\DataTables\Facades\DataTables;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Cache;
 
Route::get('user-data', function() {
    $model = User::query();
    $filteredCount = Cache::remember('active_users_count', 60, fn () => User::where('status', 'active')->count());
 
    return DataTables::eloquent($model)
        ->setFilteredRecords($filteredCount)
        ->toJson();
});
