Create Routes

In this step by step guide, we will be creating a simple laravel 5.8 application to demonstrate you how to install yajra datatable package and implement ajax based CRUD operations with datatable js.

Install Laravel 5.8

First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel 5.8 using the below command

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel larablog

1	composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel larablog

Configure Database In .env file

Now, lets create a MySQL database and connect it with laravel application. After creating database we need to set database credential in application’s .env file.

.env

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=larablog
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

DB_CONNECTION=mysql

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

DB_PORT=3306

DB_DATABASE=larablog

DB_USERNAME=root

DB_PASSWORD=

Generate Application Key

Open terminal and switch to the project directory and run the following command to generate application key and configure cache.

php artisan key:generate

1	php artisan key:generate

php artisan config:cache

1	php artisan config:cache

Set Default String Length

Locate the file “app/Providers/AppServiceProvider”, and add following line of code to the top of the file

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

1	use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

and inside the boot method set a default string length as given below –

Schema::defaultStringLength(191);

1	Schema::defaultStringLength(191);

So this is how “app/Providers/AppServiceProvider” file looks like –

<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
 public function boot() {
 //
 Schema::defaultStringLength(191);
}
 public function register()
 {
 //
 }
}

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider

{

public function boot() {

Schema::defaultStringLength(191);

}

public function register()

{

}

Create Database Table

Now, we have to define table schema for posts table. Open terminal and let’s run the following command to generate a migration file to create posts table in our database.

php artisan make:migration create_posts_table --create=posts

1	php artisan make:migration create_posts_table --create=posts

Once this command is executed you will find a migration file created under “database/migrations”. lets open migration file and put following code in it –

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreatePostsTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->bigIncrements('id');
            $table->string('title');
            $table->string('body');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('posts');
    }
}

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreatePostsTable extends Migration

{

/**

* Run the migrations.

* @return void

public function up()

{

Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->bigIncrements('id');

$table->string('title');

$table->string('body');

$table->timestamps();

});

}

/**

* Reverse the migrations.

* @return void

public function down()

{

Schema::dropIfExists('posts');

}

Run Migration

Now, run following command to migrate database schema.

php artisan migrate

1	php artisan migrate

After, the migration executed successfully the posts table will be created in database along with migrations, password_resets and users table.

Create Model

Next, we need to create a model called Post using below command.

php artisan make:model Post

1	php artisan make:model Post

Once, the above command is executed it will create a model file Post.php in app directory. Next, we have to assign fillable fields using fillable property inside Post.php file. Open app/Post.php file and put the following code in it –

app/Post.php

<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    //
    protected $fillable = [
        'title', 'body'
    ];
}

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model

{

protected $fillable = [

'title', 'body'

];

}

Install Yajra Datatable Package

In this step, we will install Yajra Datatables Package via the composer dependency manager. Use the following command to install Yajra Datatables Package.

composer require yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle

1	composer require yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle

After Installing Yajra Datatables package, we need to add service provider and alias in config/app.php file as following.

config/app.php

'providers' => [
      // Other service providers…
  Yajra\DataTables\DataTablesServiceProvider::class,
 ],

'aliases' => [
 // Other aliases…
 'Datatables' => Yajra\Datatables\Facades\Datatables::class,
 ],

'providers' => [

// Other service providers…

Yajra\DataTables\DataTablesServiceProvider::class,

'aliases' => [

// Other aliases…

'Datatables' => Yajra\Datatables\Facades\Datatables::class,

Create Controller

Next, we have to create a controller to handle Ajax CRUD Operations. Create a controller named AjaxCrudController using command given below –

php artisan make:controller dtable/AjaxCrudController

1	php artisan make:controller dtable/AjaxCrudController

Once the above command executed, it will create a controller file AjaxCrudController.php in app/Http/Controllers/dtable directory. Open the dtable/AjaxCrudController.php file and put the following code in it.

app/Http/Controllers/dtable/AjaxCrudController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\dtable;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Post;
use Redirect,Response;

class AjaxCrudController extends Controller
{

    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        if(request()->ajax())
            {
                return datatables()->of(Post::latest()->get())
                        ->addColumn('action', function($data){
                        $button = '<a href="javascript:void(0)" data-toggle="tooltip"  data-id="'.$data->id.'" data-original-title="Edit" class="edit btn btn-success edit-post">Edit</a>';
                        $button .= '&nbsp;&nbsp;';
                        $button .= '<a href="javascript:void(0);" id="delete-post" data-toggle="tooltip" data-original-title="Delete" data-id="'.$data->id.'" class="delete btn btn-danger">   Delete</a>';
                        return $button;
                        })
                        ->rawColumns(['action'])
                        ->make(true);
            }
            return view('dtable.index');
    }
     
     
    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {  
        $postId = $request->post_id;
        $post   =   Post::updateOrCreate(['id' => $postId],
                    ['title' => $request->title, 'body' => $request->body]);        
        return Response::json($post);
    }
     
    /**
     * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
     *
     */
    public function edit($id)
    {   
        $where = array('id' => $id);
        $post  = Post::where($where)->first();
     
        return Response::json($post);
    }
     
     
    /**
     * Remove the specified resource from storage.
     *
     */
    public function destroy($id)
    {
        $post = Post::where('id',$id)->delete();
     
        return Response::json($post);
    }
}

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\dtable;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

use App\Post;

use Redirect,Response;

class AjaxCrudController extends Controller

{

/**

* Display a listing of the resource.

* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response

public function index()

{

if(request()->ajax())

{

return datatables()->of(Post::latest()->get())

->addColumn('action', function($data){

$button = '<a href="javascript:void(0)" data-toggle="tooltip" data-id="'.$data->id.'" data-original-title="Edit" class="edit btn btn-success edit-post">Edit</a>';

$button .= '  ';

$button .= '<a href="javascript:void(0);" id="delete-post" data-toggle="tooltip" data-original-title="Delete" data-id="'.$data->id.'" class="delete btn btn-danger"> Delete</a>';

return $button;

})

->rawColumns(['action'])

->make(true);

}

return view('dtable.index');

}

/**

* Store a newly created resource in storage.

* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request

* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response

public function store(Request $request)

{

$postId = $request->post_id;

$post = Post::updateOrCreate(['id' => $postId],

['title' => $request->title, 'body' => $request->body]);

return Response::json($post);

}

/**

* Show the form for editing the specified resource.

public function edit($id)

{

$where = array('id' => $id);

$post = Post::where($where)->first();

return Response::json($post);

}

/**

* Remove the specified resource from storage.

public function destroy($id)

{

$post = Post::where('id',$id)->delete();

return Response::json($post);

}

Create Blade / View Files

In this step, we will create view/blade file to perform CRUD Operations. Lets create a blade file “index.blade.php” in “resources/views/dtable/” directory and put the following code in it respectively.

resources/views/dtable/index.blade.php

Create Routes

After this, we need to add following routes in “routes/web.php” file along with a resource route. Lets open “routes/web.php” file and add following route.

routes/web.php

Route::resource('dtable-posts', 'dtable\AjaxCrudController');
Route::get('dtable-posts/destroy/{id}', 'dtable\AjaxCrudController@destroy');

1 2	Route::resource('dtable-posts', 'dtable\AjaxCrudController'); Route::get('dtable-posts/destroy/{id}', 'dtable\AjaxCrudController@destroy');

Now we are ready to run our example so lets start the development server using following artisan command –

php artisan serve

1	php artisan serve

Now, open the following URL in browser to see the output –

http://localhost:8000/dtable-posts

Output:-

laravel-5-8-ajax-crud-using-datatanles-3 Click “Add New Post” to submit new post.

laravel-5-8-ajax-crud-using-datatanles-1 Click “Edit” button to edit corresponding post.

laravel-5-8-ajax-crud-using-datatanles-2

Click “Delete” button to delete corresponding post.
