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();
        }
    }
}

Model:

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