Quick start

In the demo below we will render a table for the users.

UserController.php

use App\User;

public function index()
{
    $datatable = \DataTable::model(User::class)->tableModel(\App\TableModels\Users::class);
    //or
    $datatable = \DataTable::model(new User)->tableModel(\App\TableModels\Users::class);
    
    return view('users.index')->with(compact('datatable'));
}

users/index.blade.php

<body>
    {!! $datatable->table() !!}
    
    {!! $datatable->script() !!}
</body>

TableModel As you can see, a tablemodel is used to render the table. You can use the artisan command php artisan make:table-model {name} command to generate a new tableModel. See the docs for table models here TableModels
