So let’s follow this tutorial and you will get layout as like bellow:
Preview:
Step 1: Install Laravel
In this step, if you haven’t laravel application setup then we have to get fresh laravel 7 application. So run bellow command and get clean fresh laravel 7 application.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog
Step 2 : Install Yajra Datatable
We need to install yajra datatable composer package for datatable and yajra/laravel-datatables-buttons export buttons, so you can install using following command:
composer require yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle
composer require yajra/laravel-datatables-buttons
After that you need to set providers and alias.
config/app.php
.....
'providers' => [
....
Yajra\DataTables\DataTablesServiceProvider::class,
Yajra\DataTables\ButtonsServiceProvider::class,
]
'aliases' => [
....
'DataTables' => Yajra\DataTables\Facades\DataTables::class,
]
.....
Now you have to run bellow command to get configuration file, so let’s run bellow command:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=datatables-buttons
Step 3: Add Dummy Records
In this step, we will create some dummy users using tinker factory. so let’s create dummy records using bellow command:
php artisan tinkerfactory(App\User::class, 200)->create();
Step 4: Create DataTable Class
Here, we need to create User DataTable class using Yajra Datatable command. so let’s run bellow command:
php artisan datatables:make Users
you have created new class file for DataTable. so let’s update following file. here we will add display column, buttons and all then things.
app/DataTables/UsersDataTable.php
<?php
namespace App\DataTables;
use App\User;
use Yajra\DataTables\Html\Button;
use Yajra\DataTables\Html\Column;
use Yajra\DataTables\Html\Editor\Editor;
use Yajra\DataTables\Html\Editor\Fields;
use Yajra\DataTables\Services\DataTable;
class UsersDataTable extends DataTable
{
/**
* Build DataTable class.
*
* @param mixed $query Results from query() method.
* @return \Yajra\DataTables\DataTableAbstract
*/
public function dataTable($query)
{
return datatables()
->eloquent($query);
}
/**
* Get query source of dataTable.
*
* @param \App\User $model
* @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder
*/
public function query(User $model)
{
return $model->newQuery();
}
/**
* Optional method if you want to use html builder.
*
* @return \Yajra\DataTables\Html\Builder
*/
public function html()
{
return $this->builder()
->setTableId('users-table')
->columns($this->getColumns())
->minifiedAjax()
->orderBy(1)
->parameters([
'dom' => 'Bfrtip',
'buttons' => ['excel', 'csv'],
]);
}
/**
* Get columns.
*
* @return array
*/
protected function getColumns()
{
return [
Column::make('id'),
Column::make('name'),
Column::make('email'),
];
}
/**
* Get filename for export.
*
* @return string
*/
protected function filename()
{
return 'Users_' . date('YmdHis');
}
}
Step 5: Add Route
In this is step we need to create route for datatables layout file and another one for getting data. so open your routes/web.php file and add following route.
routes/web.php
Route::get('users', 'UserController@index');
Step 6: Create Controller
In this point, now we should create new controller as UserController. this controller will manage layout and getting data request and return response, so put bellow content in controller file:
app/Http/Controllers/UserController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\DataTables\UsersDataTable;
class UserController extends Controller
{
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function index(UsersDataTable $dataTable)
{
return $dataTable->render('users');
}
}
Step 7: Create View
In Last step, let’s create users.blade.php(resources/views/users.blade.php) for layout and we will write design code here and put following code:
resources/views/users.blade.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

<script src="/vendor/datatables/buttons.server-side.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h1>Laravel Yajra Datatables Export to Excel Button Example - ItSolutionStuff.com</h1>
{!! $dataTable->table() !!}
</div>
</body>
{!! $dataTable->scripts() !!}
</html>
