README

Searchable, sortable data tables for Laravel. Write a Table class, render it with <x-data-table>, and the package serves the rows, the search and the DataTables assets. Tables page in the browser, or on the server for large sets (ServerSideTable) or from a remote API (ApiTable). It requires only Laravel.

Requirements

• PHP 8.3 or newer and Laravel 12 or 13

Install

1. Require it:

composer require nyumbani/dt-tables

Laravel discovers the service provider on its own. The package injects its own scripts and styles into pages that render a table, so there is nothing to import.

1. Optionally publish the configuration. The package works with its defaults, so skip this until you change one:

cp vendor/nyumbani/dt-tables/config/dt-tables.php config/dt-tables.php

In an app with nyumbani/essentials, php artisan vendor:publish --tag=dt-tables-config does the same, and php artisan ui:install then sets an untouched copy to the Tailwind theme.

1. Create a table and render it:

php artisan make:data-table CustomerTable

<x-data-table :payload="$table" />

For tables that should page, search and sort in the database, create it with php artisan make:data-table CustomerTable --server-side, and for rows from a remote API, with --api.

Configuration

Key	Purpose
settings.theme	bootstrap (default) or tailwind
settings.behaviour.page_length	Rows per page
themes.*	The classes each theme gives buttons, inputs and selects
server_side	Limits and endpoints of server-side tables
language	Replace any table text for every table; the package ships Chinese (lang/zh.json); an app adds any other language, or overrides a text, in its own lang/{code}.json (see the Languages docs page)

Docs

The full docs are served at /nyumbani-dt-tables/docs, in the local environment only, by nyumbani/docs (composer require --dev nyumbani/docs). The package works without it.
