Extended DataTable

We can extend and reuse our DataTable class inside our controller by using before and response callback.

Quick Example

<?php
// routes/web.php
 
use App\DataTables\RolesDataTable;
use Yajra\DataTables\DataTableAbstract;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
 
Route::get('datatable', function(RolesDataTable $dataTable) {
    return $dataTable
        ->before(function (DataTableAbstract $dataTable) {
            return $dataTable->addColumn('test', 'added inside controller');
        })
        ->response(function (\Illuminate\Support\Collection $response) {
            $response['test'] = 'Append Data';
 
            return $response;
        })
        ->withHtml(function(\Yajra\DataTables\Html\Builder $builder) {
            $builder->columns(['id', 'name', 'etc...']);
        })
        ->with('key', 'value')
        ->with([
            'key2' => 'value2',
            'key3' => 'value3',
        ])
        ->render('path.to.view');
