# order

Single-column ordering as the initial state:

$this->order('id', 'desc')

Multi-column ordering as the initial state:

$this->order(['name' => 'desc', 'created_at' => 'desc'])

# buttons

Shows buttons that will trigger some actions. The arguments order is the order of appearance.

$this->buttons('filters', 'csv', 'refresh')

Built-in buttons : filters, colvis, csv, excel, copy, print, refresh

# condensed

If called, the table will be condensed.

$this->condensed()

# permissions

Sets the permissions to have to show the DataTable.

$this->permissions('users_crud', 'roles')

# stateSave

Enables state saving:

$this->stateSave()

# showCheckboxes

Shows checkbox on every row:

$this->showCheckboxes()

This will generate a checkbox on every row that can be used to select multiple elements.

To do this, every checkbox will be named dt-checkbox[] and use the id as the key. E.g dt-checkbox[123].

But it's possible to set another field as the key by setting it when calling the method. E.g $this->showCheckboxes('item_id')

You can pass all the selected checkboxes to an ajax call by using the following selector : $('input[name^=dt-checkbox]:checked').serialize()

# lengthMenu

Sets length menu options.

$this->lengthMenu([10,50,100])

To show options 10, 50, 100 and all records:

$this->lengthMenu([[10, 50, 100, -1] , [10, 50, 100, 'All']])

# pageLength

Shows 50 records per page:

$this->pageLength(50])

# pagingType

Sets numbers as paging Type

->setPagingType('numbers')

Allowed types are

  • numbers - Page number buttons only
  • simple - 'Previous' and 'Next' buttons only
  • simple_numbers - 'Previous' and 'Next' buttons, plus page numbers
  • full - 'First', 'Previous', 'Next' and 'Last' buttons
