是否可以在没有包的情况下将AJAX Datatables与Laravel集成？

Question

I wonder if I can integrate AJAX Datatables processing server side feature with Laravel 5.4 without using package from Yajra. I try Yajra but I guess it overkill to use only on a datatables, also it still has some bug that I faced.

If someone ever try to use Datatables AJAX feature with Laravel 5.4, please tell me how to do it? Especially what must I send to controller like how can I send JSON and view at the same time which will get me an error when I try to do it.

You would have to make a response in your Controller like this:

$user = User::find(1);

return response()->json([
    'data' => [
        'name' => $user->name,
        'email' => $user->email 
    ]
]);

and then with ajax call it like this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').DataTable( {
        "ajax": "your_route_name",
        "columns": [
            { "data": "name" },
            { "data": "email" },
        ]
    } );
});

This is just an example on what you have explained. Of course it needs to be adapted to your needs.
