Eloquent Data Source

You may use Laravel's Eloquent Model as data source for your dataTables. You can look at Yajra\DataTables\EloquentDataTable class which handles the conversion of your Eloquent Model into a readable DataTable API response.

Eloquent via Factory

use DataTables;
 
Route::get('user-data', function() {
    $model = App\User::query();
 
    return DataTables::of($model)->toJson();
});

Eloquent via Facade

use DataTables;
 
Route::get('user-data', function() {
    $model = App\User::query();
 
    return DataTables::eloquent($model)->toJson();
});

Eloquent via Dependency Injection

use Yajra\DataTables\DataTables;
 
Route::get('user-data', function(DataTables $dataTables) {
    $model = App\User::query();
 
    return $dataTables->eloquent($model)->toJson();
});

Eloquent via IoC

Route::get('user-data', function() {
    $model = App\User::query();
 
    return app('datatables')->eloquent($model)->toJson();
});

EloquentDataTable new Instance

use Yajra\DataTables\EloquentDataTable;
 
Route::get('user-data', function() {
    $model = App\User::query();
 
    return (new EloquentDataTable($model))->toJson();
});
