Download the PHP package shwaeki/laravel-dynamictable without Composer

Laravel DynamicTable

Maximum functionality with minimum configuration.

A fast, zero-configuration data grid for Laravel. Point it at a model and you get columns, search, filters, sorting, pagination, relationships, saved views, export, import and inline editing — server-side, secure, and without an N+1 in sight.

That's it. No Column::make() chain per field. No Livewire tag. No custom Blade component. No route-as-table. No build step.

Install

Nothing to publish. Nothing to build. Run php artisan migrate only if you want saved views.

What you get for free

Point it at a model and DynamicTable reads the schema, the casts and the relationships, then makes sensible decisions:

• department_id becomes the department's name — eager loaded, one extra query for the whole page, never one per row
• Booleans render as checks, enums as badges with their cases as filter options, dates in the current locale, decimals right-aligned
• password, remember_token and anything token-shaped are never exposed
• Server-side search, sorting and pagination
• The advanced filter builder, with grouped AND/OR conditions
• RTL when the locale is Arabic or Hebrew

Turn on what you need

Expensive things are opt-in. A disabled feature renders no UI, loads no JavaScript, registers no state and runs no queries.

Customise only where you want to

The presentations everyone writes the same closure for are options, not code: badges, placeholders, progress bars, ratings, avatars, chips.

Your own controls, without the query() boilerplate

Filters above the table are usually one where each. Say so:

Those names are declared parameters, the period picker understands week, this_month, last_year and custom with its own two date inputs, and query() stays for the things that are actually yours.

Features

Performance, stated as budgets

Model::all() is never called. Filter dropdowns are paginated DISTINCT queries, not Department::all(). Relationship sorting uses a correlated subquery, not a join.

Security, stated as a checklist

Every client input is re-derived server-side: table keys resolve through an allowlist, sort and filter fields must resolve through the metadata engine, operators come from a closed enum, values are coerced and bound, selected ids are re-queried through the table's own scope, and edits are re-fetched through it too — so query() is a hard boundary that no request can escape.

Full checklist in docs/security.md.

Requirements

PHP 8.2+ · Laravel 10, 11, 12 or 13 · MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL or SQLite.

No Livewire. No Alpine. No jQuery. No npm. No CSS framework required. (It works happily inside a Livewire app — it just doesn't need one. The reasoning is in docs/architecture.md.)

Demo

An interactive example application lives in demo/. Every example renders a real table and shows the real file that produced it.

Then open /dynamic-table/examples.
