By Hardik Savani March 12, 2025 Category : Laravel

In this post, I will show you how to use Yajra Datatables in a Laravel 12 application. i will use the laravel 12 yajra/laravel-datatables composer package to use datatables.

Yajra Datatables provides us with quick search, pagination, ordering, sorting, etc. Datatables are basically jQuery plugins that allow you to add advanced interaction controls to your HTML tables' data. Datatables also provide AJAX for data searching and retrieval. You can create a very user-friendly layout for searching and sorting using Datatables. You can also implement Datatables in your Laravel application.

In this example, we will install the yajra/laravel-datatables composer package. We will use the default "users" table and add some dummy users to it using Tinker. Then, we will simply list all users using Yajra Datatables. You can search, sort, and paginate using Datatables in Laravel 12. So let's follow the steps below and get it done.

Step 3: Add Dummy Users

In this step, we will create some dummy users using Tinker Factory. So let's create dummy records using the below command:

php artisan tinker
  
User::factory()->count(20)->create()

Step 4: Create Controller

In this point, now we should create a new controller as UserController. This controller will manage layout and handle data requests, returning responses. So, put the content below in the controller file:

app/Http/Controllers/UserController.php

<?php
   
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\User;
use DataTables;
  
class UserController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        if ($request->ajax()) {

            $data = User::query();

            return Datatables::of($data)
                    ->addIndexColumn()
                    ->addColumn('action', function($row){
       
                            $btn = '<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="edit btn btn-primary btn-sm">View</a>';
      
                            return $btn;
                    })
                    ->rawColumns(['action'])
                    ->make(true);
        }
          
        return view('users');
    }
}

Step 5: Add Route

In this step, we need to create a route for the DataTables layout file and another one for getting data. So open your "routes/web.php" file and add the following route.

routes/web.php

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\UserController;
    
Route::get('users', [UserController::class, 'index'])->name('users.index');

Step 6: Create Blade File

In Last step, let's create users.blade.php(resources/views/users.blade.php) for layout and we will write design code here and put following code:

resources/views/users.blade.php

            {data: 'id', name: 'id'},
            {data: 'name', name: 'name'},
            {data: 'email', name: 'email'},
