Usage

A Simple Example

Let's walk through a basic example of implementing Custom DataGrid in your Laravel application.

Ensure to replace User::class with your model in the DataGridFacade::model() call.

Using Configuration for Data Grid in Laravel

To utilize the configuration for the data grid in Laravel, follow the steps outlined below:

1. Define Unique Session Key

In your controller method (index() in this case), retrieve the unique session key from the configuration file. This key is used to manage sessions related to the specific table.

2. Retrieve Selected Columns

Retrieve the selected columns from the session using the unique session key obtained in the previous step.

3. Set Default Columns if Session Data is Not Set

If the session data for selected columns is not set, use the default columns specified in the configuration file and store them in the session.

4. Get All Available Columns

Retrieve all available columns from the configuration file.

5. Render Data Grid

Render the data grid using the Laravel Data Grid package, specifying the selected columns, search columns, and all available columns. Optionally, paginate the results.

6. Pass Data to View

Pass the data grid to the view for rendering.

By following these steps, you can effectively utilize the configuration for the data grid in your Laravel application.

Configuration for Multiple Tables

To configure multiple tables and specify their unique columns and session keys, follow these steps:

1. Define Table Columns

In the config/datagrid.php file, specify the columns for each table under the users_columns array. Each table should have its own array containing the column names.

Example:

2. Specify Unique Column

Define the unique column for each table using the format ModelName_unique_column. This configuration is used to validate uniqueness when updating records.

Example:

3. Set Session Key

Assign a unique session key for each table using the format ModelName_SessionKey. This key is used to manage sessions related to the specific table.

Example:

4. Enable or Disable Edit Option

Specify whether the table has an edit option available. Set to true if the table allows editing, otherwise set to false.

Example:

Repeat these steps for each table you want to configure. Ensure that the configuration is accurate and consistent across all tables.

Blade File Example

To include the package's view in your Laravel application, follow these steps:

1. Create a new blade file (e.g., datagrid.blade.php) in your resources/views directory.

2. Add the following code to the blade file:

3. Make sure to include all the necessary styles and render the data grid using the render() method provided by the package.

4. You can then use this blade file in your application to display the data grid provided by the package.

The result will be like this:
