Loading a DataTable in Laravel 8 with Yajra Datatables

When working on web applications in Laravel, you might often need to display data in a structured and interactive format. Yajra Datatables is one of the most popular packages for achieving this in Laravel, especially version 8. However, you might encounter a common issue: loading a DataTable that filters results based on specific input values from the frontend. If you're struggling to implement this, fear not! We'll walk through the solution in detail.

The Problem

Imagine you have a web page where users can search for specific data items based on a unique identifier, such as an order number (shp_no_for_it). The objective is to display the relevant data dynamically in a DataTable based on this identifier. In your current implementation, the DataTable is not returning the expected results when a user inputs a value in the search field.

To summarize:

You have a database table containing items, each with a specific order number.

Users search for items based on this order number.

The results should be loaded asynchronously in a DataTable.

The Solution

To achieve the desired functionality, we will break down the solution into several clear steps:

Step 1: Setting Up Your Controller

Start by modifying the controller responsible for fetching data. Ensure you handle the request correctly and define the query using Eloquent for filtering based on the input. Here is a sample function that achieves this:

Step 2: Creating the DataTable Function

Next, you need to encapsulate your DataTable initialization logic within a function. This will ensure that your DataTable is correctly configured to load the data dynamically via AJAX:

Step 3: Triggering Searches

You’ll also want to initiate a search when the user clicks on a designated button. Here’s how you can bind that functionality to your search button:

Step 4: Initializing DataTable on Page Load

Make sure your DataTable is initialized as soon as the page loads:

Step 5: Preparing the HTML Structure

Lastly, ensure that your HTML has the correct structure. You should have an input field for taking the search criteria and a table to display the results:

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully implement a DataTable in Laravel 8 that loads data based on user inputs using Yajra Datatables. With proper AJAX requests and server-side processing, you can provide a seamless and responsive user experience that allows for easy data management.
