Step 1 : Install Laravel for laravel 8 datatables filter with dropdown tutorial
Here, I have install new laravel application for laravel 8 datatables filter with dropdown example.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel datatable-exampleStep 2 : Integrate Yajra Datatable for Dropdown Filter
Now, we need to install or Integrate Yajra Datatable for Dropdown Filter using composer command in your terminal.
composer require yajra/laravel-datatables-oracleAfter installation of datatable we need to add providers and alias in config/app.php.
'providers' => [
....
Yajra\DataTables\DataTablesServiceProvider::class,
]
'aliases' => [
....
'DataTables' => Yajra\DataTables\Facades\DataTables::class,
]Step 3 : Add New Column in Users Table for filter column
After that we will add new column using migration
php artisan make:migration add_approved_columndatabase/migrations/2021_16_06_043348_add_approved_column.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
class AddApprovedColumn extends Migration
{
public function up()
{
Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->boolean('approved')->default(0);
});
}
public function down()
{
}
}Run this migration.
php artisan migrateStep 4 : Add Record using Tinker
We will add some recored to check our example using tinker.
php artisan tinker
factory(App\User::class, 50)->create();Step 5 : Add Route
Now add route routes/web.php in this location.
Route::get('users', ['uses'=>'[email protected]', 'as'=>'users.index']);Step 6 : Create Controller
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use DataTables;
class UserController extends Controller
{
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function index(Request $request)
{
if ($request->ajax()) {
$data = User::select('*');
return Datatables::of($data)
->addIndexColumn()
->addColumn('approved', function($row){
if($row->approved){
return '<span class="badge badge-primary">Yes</span>';
}else{
return '<span class="badge badge-danger">No</span>';
}
})
->filter(function ($instance) use ($request) {
if ($request->get('approved') == '0' || $request->get('approved') == '1') {
$instance->where('approved', $request->get('approved'));
}
if (!empty($request->get('search'))) {
$instance->where(function($w) use($request){
$search = $request->get('search');
$w->orWhere('name', 'LIKE', "%$search%")
->orWhere('email', 'LIKE', "%$search%");
});
}
})
->rawColumns(['approved'])
->make(true);
}
return view('users');
}
}Step 7 : Create BLade file for View
