IoC Container

###IoC Container You can access Datatables class using Laravel's IoC container by accessing datatables key like app('datatables'). This will return an instance of Datatables class which will allow you to use the following Engines:

1. Query Builder Engine

   app('datatables')->usingQueryBuilder($builder)->make()

2. Eloquent Engine

   app('datatables')->usingEloquent($builder)->make()

3. Collection Engine

   app('datatables')->usingCollection($builder)->make()

###Dependency Injection You can also access Datatables class via Laravel's Dependency Injection. See example below:

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Requests;
use App\User;
use Datatables;

class DemoController extends Controller
{

    public function getBasic()
    {
        return view('datatables.demo');
    }

    public function getBasicData(Datatables $datatables)
    {
        $users = User::select(['id', 'name', 'email', 'created_at', 'updated_at']);

        return $datatables->usingEloquent($users)->make(true);
    }

}
