Reusable Laravel DataTable helper

v1.2.7 2026-08-14 02:06 UTC

README

A reusable Laravel DataTable helper package designed for searching, sorting, and pagination, with PostgreSQL-safe global search, integer compatibility, and operator-based filtering.

This package is built for real-world admin panels, API backends, and frontend data tables.

✨ Features

  • ✅ Laravel 10 & 11 compatible
  • ✅ PostgreSQL-safe (ILIKE, reserved keyword handling)
  • ✅ Works with string & integer columns
  • ✅ Operator-based global search
  • ✅ Safe parameter binding (SQL injection protected)
  • ✅ Supports Eloquent Model, Builder, or Model instance
  • ✅ Ready for Composer & Packagist

Search Application Logic

The applySearch method applies search conditions dynamically based on a specified operator. It supports both text and numeric columns by safely casting values to text when necessary and performs case-insensitive matching using PostgreSQL ILIKE.

This approach allows a single global search to work across mixed column types while remaining safe and performant.
