<?php
   
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\User;
use DataTables;
  
class UserController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     * Yajra Datatable Laravel 11 - techsolutionstuff
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        if ($request->ajax()) {

            $data = User::query();

            return Datatables::of($data)
                    ->addIndexColumn()
                    ->addColumn('action', function($row){
       
                            $btn = '<a href="javascript:void(0)" data-id="'.$row->id.'" class="edit btn btn-primary btn-sm">View</a>';

                            return $btn;
                    })
                    ->rawColumns(['action'])
                    ->make(true);
        }
          
        return view('users');
    }
}
 
Step 5: Create Route

Now, define the routes into the web.php file. So, add the following code snippets.

routes/web.php

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\UserController;
    
Route::get('users', [UserController::class, 'index'])->name('users.index');
