PHP Library to handle server-side processing for Datatables, in a fast and simple way. Live Demo

Features

1. Easy to use. Generates json using only a few lines of code.
2. Editable columns with a closure function.
3. Supports mysql and sqlite for native php.
4. Works with :
   • Laravel
   • CodeIgniter 3
   • Phalcon 3+

How to install?

Installation via composer is supported.

If you haven't started using composer, I highly recommend you to use it.

Put a file named composer.json at the root of your project, containing this information:

{
    "require": {
       "ozdemir/datatables": "1.*"
    }
}

And then run: composer install

Or just run : composer require ozdemir/datatables

Add the autoloader to your project:

    <?php

    require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'

You're now ready to begin using the Datatables php library.

How to use?

A simple ajax example:

    <?php
    require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

    use Ozdemir\Datatables\Datatables;
    use Ozdemir\Datatables\DB\MySQL;

    $config = [ 'host'     => 'localhost',
                'port'     => '3306',
                'username' => 'homestead',
                'password' => 'secret',
                'database' => 'sakila' ];

    $dt = new Datatables( new MySQL($config) );

    $dt->query("Select film_id, title, description from film");

    echo $dt->generate();

        return "<a href='user.php?id=" . $data['id'] . "'>edit</a>";
    });

    $dt->edit('email', function($data){
        // return mail@mail.com to m***@mail.com
        return preg_replace('/(?<=.).(?=.*@)/u','*', $data['email']);
    });

    $dt->edit('address', function($data){
        // check if user has authorized to see that
        $current_user_plevel = 4;
        if ($current_user_plevel > 2 && $current_user_plevel > $data['plevel']) {
            return $data['address'];
        }

        return 'you are not authorized to view this column';
    });

    $dt->add('action', function($data){
        // return an edit link in new column action
        return "<a href='user.php?id=" . $data['id'] . "'>edit</a>";
    });

    echo $dt->generate();
