README

Generate Laravel pagination with support to search, sort, per_page and page queries. The Datatables support searching and ordering by children/parent relationships e.g user.role.name.

If you are on Vue.js, we recommend using the Pagetables Component which renders nice datatables styled in tailwindcss and supports the payload from this package out of the box.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require savannabits/laravel-pagetables

Usage

Under the hood, this package uses laravel pagination and returns a LengthAwarePaginator object together with the columns specified. The package has a Column class which helps to construct columns with names and other properties for the sake of frontend rendering and formatting. Use the package in three simple steps:

1. Specify the columns as Savannabits\Pagetables\Column[] array.
2. Create the datatables from a query, passing in the columns array from step 1.
3. Query the controller method from the frontend with parameters such as search,sort,per_page, sort_direction and page

Example In the Controller:

use Savannabits\Pagetables\Column;
use Savannabits\Pagetables\Pagetables;
use App\Models\Article;
$columns = [
            Column::name("id")->title("ID")->sortDesc()->searchable(),
            Column::name("slug")->title("Slug")->sort()->searchable(),
            Column::name("name")->title("Name")->sort()->searchable(),
            Column::name("weighted_cost")->title("Weighted Cost")->sort()->searchable(),
            Column::name("itemGroup.name")->title("Group")->sort()->searchable(),
            Column::name("actions")->title("")->raw(true),
        ];
$dt = Pagetables::of(Article::where("enabled", "=",true))
            ->columns($columns)
            ->make(true);
return response()->json($dt);

API Request from your client:

GET https://myserver.test/api/articles?search=&per_page=10&sort=weighted_cost&sort_direction=asc&page=1

Response JSON:

From here, how you use the payload to render the datatable is entirely up to you.
