# Datatables library for PHP
[](https://packagist.org/packages/ozdemir/datatables) [](https://github.com/n1crack/datatables/actions/workflows/tests.yml) [](https://github.com/n1crack/datatables/blob/master/LICENCE)
Simplify your Datatables server-side processing effortlessly using our lightning-fast PHP library, streamlining your workflow seamlessly. [Live Demo](https://datatables.ozdemir.be/)
## Features
* Easy to use. Generates json using only a few lines of code.
* Editable columns with a closure function.
* Supports custom filters.
* Can handle most complicated queries.
* Supports mysql and sqlite for native php.
* Works with :
- [Laravel](https://datatables.ozdemir.be/laravel)
- [CodeIgniter 3](https://datatables.ozdemir.be/codeigniter)
- [CodeIgniter 4](https://datatables.ozdemir.be/codeigniter4)
- [Phalcon 3+](https://datatables.ozdemir.be/phalcon)
- [Prestashop](https://datatables.ozdemir.be/prestashop)
- [PostgreSql](https://datatables.ozdemir.be/postgresql)
## Installation
> **NOTE:** version 2.0+ requires php 7.1.3+ ([php supported versions](http://php.net/supported-versions.php))
The recommended way to install the library is with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)
If you haven't started using composer, I highly recommend you to use it.
Put a file named `composer.json` at the root of your project, containing this information:
{
"require": {
"ozdemir/datatables": "2.*"
}
}
And then run:
```
composer install
```
Or just run :
```
composer require ozdemir/datatables
```
Add the autoloader to your project:
```php
'localhost',
'port' => '3306',
'username' => 'homestead',
'password' => 'secret',
'database' => 'sakila' ];
$dt = new Datatables( new MySQL($config) );
$dt->query('Select film_id, title, description from film');
echo $dt->generate();
```
If you are using a php framework such as codeigniter or laravel, you can use the relevant database adapter.
```php
// Codeigniter 4 Example
table('Track');
$builder->select('TrackId, Name, UnitPrice');
// Datatables Php Library
$datatables = new Datatables(new Codeigniter4Adapter);
// using CI4 Builder
$datatables->query($builder);
// alternatively plain sql
// $datatables->query('Select TrackId, Name, UnitPrice from Track');
return $this->response->setJSON($datatables->generate()->toJson());
}
}
```
```php
// Laravel Example
query(
Track::query()
->select([
'TrackId',
'Track.Name',
'Title as Album',
'MediaType.Name as MediaType',
'UnitPrice',
'Milliseconds',
'Bytes',
])
->join('Album', 'Album.AlbumId', 'Track.AlbumId')
->join('MediaType', 'MediaType.MediaTypeId', 'Track.MediaTypeId')
); // same as the previous example, sql statement can be used.
return $dt->generate();
});
```
## Methods
This is the list of available public methods.
__query($query)__ *required*
* sets the sql query
__generate()__ *required*
* runs the queries and build outputs
* returns the output as json
* same as generate()->toJson()
__toJson()__
* returns the output as json
* should be called after generate()
__toArray()__
* returns the output as array
* should be called after generate()
__add($column, function( $row ){})__
* adds extra columns for custom usage
__edit($column, function($row){})__
* allows column editing
__filter($column, function(){})__
* allows custom filtering
* it has the methods below
- escape($value)
- searchValue()
- defaultFilter()
- between($low, $high)
- whereIn($array)
- greaterThan($value)
- lessThan($value)
__hide($columns)__
* removes the column from output
* It is useful when you only need to use the data in add() or edit() methods.
__setDistinctResponseFrom($column)__
* executes the query with the given column name and adds the returned data to the output with the distinctData key.
__setDistinctResponse($output)__
* adds the given data to the output with the distinctData key.
__getColumns()__
* returns column names (for dev purpose)
__getQuery()__
* returns the sql query string that is created by the library (for dev purpose)
## Example
```php
query('Select id, name, email, age, address, plevel from users');
$dt->edit('id', function($data){
// return a link.
return "edit";
});
$dt->edit('email', function($data){
// masks email : mail@mail.com => m***@mail.com
return preg_replace('/(?<=.).(?=.*@)/u','*', $data['email']);
});
$dt->edit('address', function($data){
// checks user access.
$current_user_plevel = 4;
if ($current_user_plevel > 2 && $current_user_plevel > $data['plevel']) {
return $data['address'];
}
return 'you are not authorized to view this column';
});
$dt->hide('plevel'); // hides 'plevel' column from the output
$dt->add('action', function($data){
// returns a link in a new column
return "edit";
});
$dt->filter('age', function (){
// applies custom filtering.
return $this->between(15, 30);
});
echo $dt->generate()->toJson(); // same as 'echo $dt->generate()';
```
## Road Map
* better test suites for each class
* improve integrations for php frameworks
## Requirements
Composer
DataTables > 1.10
PHP > 7.1.3
