Example usage

It uses Phalcon QueryBuilder for pagination in DataTables.

In example we have a stantart MVC application, with database enabled. Don't need to provide a normal bootstrap PHP file, for Phalcon documentation, visit official site.

Controller (using QueryBuilder):

<?php
use \DataTables\DataTable;

class TestController extends \Phalcon\Mvc\Controller {
    public function indexAction() {
        if ($this->request->isAjax()) {
          $builder = $this->modelsManager->createBuilder()
                          ->columns('id, name, email, balance')
                          ->from('Example\Models\User');

          $dataTables = new DataTable();
          $dataTables->fromBuilder($builder)->sendResponse();
        }
    }
}

Controller (using ResultSet):

<?php
use \DataTables\DataTable;

class TestController extends \Phalcon\Mvc\Controller {
    public function indexAction() {
        if ($this->request->isAjax()) {
          $resultset  = $this->modelsManager->createQuery("SELECT * FROM \Example\Models\User")
                             ->execute();

          $dataTables = new DataTable();
          $dataTables->fromResultSet($resultset)->sendResponse();
        }
    }
}

Controller (using Array):

<?php
use \DataTables\DataTable;

class TestController extends \Phalcon\Mvc\Controller {
    public function indexAction() {
        if ($this->request->isAjax()) {
          $array  = $this->modelsManager->createQuery("SELECT * FROM \Example\Models\User")
                             ->execute()->toArray();

          $dataTables = new DataTable();
          $dataTables->fromArray($array)->sendResponse();
        }
    }
}

Controller (using multi models):

<?php
use \DataTables\DataTable;

class TestController extends \Phalcon\Mvc\Controller {
    public function indexAction() {
        if ($this->request->isAjax()) {
          $builder = $this->modelsManager->createBuilder()
                          ->columns('u.id, u.name, u.email, u.name as role_name')
                          ->addFrom('Example\Models\User', 'u')
                          ->addFrom('Example\Models\Role', 'r')
                          ->where('u.role_id = r.id')
           
          $dataTables = new DataTable();
          $dataTables->fromBuilder($builder)->sendResponse();
          
           // or pass an array of columns to the builder
           $columns = ['u.id', 'u.name', 'u.email', ['u.name', 'alias' => 'role_name']];
           $dataTables = new DataTable();
           $dataTables->fromBuilder($builder, $columns)->sendResponse();
        }
    }
}

Export Feature (using QueryBuilder):

$(".exportBtn").on("click", function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    // Get ajax params
    let params = $.param($('#tableID').DataTable().ajax.params());
    let _href = $(this).attr('href');
    // append params to url + export type (Excel/PDF)
    $(this).attr('href', _href + params + '/' + $(this).text());
    window.location.href = $(this).attr('href');
});

<?php
use \DataTables\DataTable;

class TestController extends \Phalcon\Mvc\Controller {
    public function exportAction($filters, $type) {
          $builder = $this->modelsManager->createBuilder()
                          ->columns('id, name, email, balance')
                          ->from('Example\Models\User');

          $dataTables = new DataTable();
          $dataTables->fromBuilder($builder)->exportResponse($type);
    }
}

Model:

<?php
/**
* @property integer id
* @property string name
* @property string email
* @property float balance
* @property integer role_id
*/
class User extends \Phalcon\Mvc\Model {
}

/**
* @property integer id
* @property string name
*/
class Role extends \Phalcon\Mvc\Model {
}
