README

Server-driven data tables for Laravel, Inertia.js, and Vue. Declare columns, search, filters, actions, and exports in PHP, then render the result with one Vue component.

The server remains authoritative: browser input can use only capabilities declared by the table. Each table keeps isolated URL state, and Spatie Laravel Query Builder executes the allowlisted query.

Warning

The package is under active development before v1.0. Minor releases may contain API changes.

Installation

composer require musing/inertia-table
npm install @musing/inertia-table-vue

Add the package's Vue source to the host application's Tailwind stylesheet:

/* resources/css/app.css */
@source '../../node_modules/@musing/inertia-table-vue/resources/js/**/*.vue';

Import the renderer stylesheet once in the application entry point:

import "@musing/inertia-table-vue/style.css";

Quick start

Generate a table:

php artisan make:inertia-table TopicsTable --model=Topic

Declare the query and its browser-facing capabilities:

<?php

namespace App\Tables;

use App\Models\Topic;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;
use Musing\InertiaTable\Columns\DateTimeColumn;
use Musing\InertiaTable\Columns\TextColumn;
use Musing\InertiaTable\Filters\SetFilter;
use Musing\InertiaTable\Table;

final class TopicsTable extends Table
{
    protected ?string $defaultSort = 'name';

    public function query(): Builder
    {
        return Topic::query();
    }

    public function columns(): array
    {
        return [
            TextColumn::make('name')->searchable()->sortable(),
            DateTimeColumn::make('created_at', 'Created')->sortable(),
        ];
    }

    public function filters(): array
    {
        return [
            SetFilter::make('status')->options([
                'published' => 'Published',
                'draft' => 'Draft',
            ]),
        ];
    }
}

Return the table from an Inertia controller:

use App\Tables\TopicsTable;

return inertia('Topics/Index', [
    'topics' => TopicsTable::make(),
]);

Render it in Vue:

<script setup lang="ts">
import { DataTable, type TableResource } from "@musing/inertia-table-vue";

type Topic = {
    id: number;
    name: string;
    status: string;
    created_at: string;
};

defineProps<{ topics: TableResource<Topic> }>();
</script>

<template>
    <DataTable :resource="topics" />
</template>

This provides server-side search, sorting, filtering, pagination, URL state, column controls, and the standard empty-state UI. Continue with the getting started guide.
