    /**
     * Seed the application's database.
     *
     * @return void

use App\Models\User;

use Datatables;

class DataTablesController extends Controller
{
    public function index(){
    	
    	if(request()->ajax()) {
            return datatables()->of(User::select('*'))
            ->addIndexColumn()
            ->make(true);
        }
        return view('datatables');
    }
}

Step 8 – Create DataTable Blade View

In step 8, create new blade view file that named datatables.blade.php inside resources/views directory for display list using yajra datatables in laravel.

And add the following jQuery yajra datatbles libraries into datatables.blade.php:

  <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js"></script>

  <link  href="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.21/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

  <script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.21/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script>

Also add the following jQuery and ajax code into datatables.blade.php to get data from database table with pagination:

<script type="text/javascript">
     
 $(document).ready( function () {
    $('#datatables-example').DataTable({
           processing: true,
           serverSide: true,
           ajax: "{{ url('yajra-datatables') }}",
           columns: [
                    { data: 'id', name: 'id' },
                    { data: 'name', name: 'name' },
                    { data: 'email', name: 'email' },
                    { data: 'created_at', name: 'created_at' }
                 ]
       });
    });
</script>

Don’t worry i have already added the jquery datatables libraries and ajax code on datatables.blade.php.

So, add the following code into datatables.blade.php file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Laravel 10/9 DataTables Example</title>

  <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css">

  <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js"></script>

  <link  href="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.21/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

  <script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.21/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script>

</head>
<body>

<div class="container mt-4">

              <tr>
                 <th>Id</th>
                 <th>Name</th>
                 <th>Email</th>
                 <th>Created at</th>
              </tr>
           </thead>
        </table>

    </div>

  </div>
<script type="text/javascript">
     
 $(document).ready( function () {
    $('#datatables-example').DataTable({
           processing: true,
           serverSide: true,
           ajax: "{{ url('yajra-datatables') }}",
           columns: [
                    { data: 'id', name: 'id' },
                    { data: 'name', name: 'name' },
                    { data: 'email', name: 'email' },
                    { data: 'created_at', name: 'created_at' }
                 ]
       });
    });
</script>
