Laravel 8 Ajax CRUD Tutorial Using Datatable

Hi Guys,

Here, i will guide you step by step ajax crud operations in laravel 8 with modal & pagination. we will create jquery ajax crud with modals using datatables js in laravel 8. we will simply write jquery ajax request for crud with yajra datatable laravel 8.

We will use bootstrap modal for create new records and update new records. we will use resource routes to create crud (create read update delete) application in laravel 8.We will use yajra datatable to list a records with pagination, sorting and filter.

I will provide you step by step guide to create ajax crud example with laravel 6. you just need to follow few step to get c.r.u.d with modals and ajax. you can easily use with your laravel 6 project and easy to customize it.

Step 1: Install Laravel 8

first of all we need to get fresh Laravel 8 version application using bellow command, So open your terminal OR command prompt and run bellow command:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

Step 2: Database Configuration

In second step, we will make database configuration for example database name, username, password etc for our crud application of laravel 8. So let's open .env file and fill all details like as bellow:

.env

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=here your database name(blog)
DB_USERNAME=here database username(root)
DB_PASSWORD=here database password(root)

Step 3: Install Yajra Datatable

We need to install yajra datatable composer package for datatable, so you can install using following command:

composer require yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle

After that you need to set providers and alias.

config/app.php

.....
'providers' => [
	....
	Yajra\DataTables\DataTablesServiceProvider::class,
]
'aliases' => [
	....
	'DataTables' => Yajra\DataTables\Facades\DataTables::class,
]
.....

Step 4: Create Migration Table

we are going to create ajax crud application for product. so we have to create migration for "products" table using Laravel 8 php artisan command, so first fire bellow command:

php artisan make:migration create_products_table --create=products

After this command you will find one file in following path "database/migrations" and you have to put bellow code in your migration file for create products table.

/database/migrations/2020_01_10_102325_create_products_table.php

<?php
 
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
  
class CreateProductsTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('products', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->bigIncrements('id');
            $table->string('name');
            $table->text('detail');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }
  
    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('products');
    }
}

Now you have to run this migration by following command:

php artisan migrate

Step 5: Create Route

Here, we need to add resource route for product ajax crud application. so open your "routes/web.php" file and add following route.

routes/web.php

<?php
use App\Http\Controllers\ProductAjaxController;

Route::resource('ajaxproducts',ProductAjaxController::class);

Step 6: Add Controller and Model

In this step, now we should create new controller as ProductAjaxController. So run bellow command and create new controller.

So, let's copy bellow code and put on ProductAjaxController.php file.

app/Http/Controllers/ProductAjaxController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Product;
use DataTables;

class ProductAjaxController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        if ($request->ajax()) {
            $data = Product::latest()->get();
            return Datatables::of($data)
                    ->addIndexColumn()
                    ->addColumn('action', function($row){
   
                           $btn = '<a href="javascript:void(0)" data-toggle="tooltip"  data-id="'.$row->id.'" data-original-title="Edit" class="edit btn btn-primary btn-sm editProduct">Edit</a>';
   
                           $btn = $btn.' <a href="javascript:void(0)" data-toggle="tooltip"  data-id="'.$row->id.'" data-original-title="Delete" class="btn btn-danger btn-sm deleteProduct">Delete</a>';
    
                            return $btn;
                    })
                    ->rawColumns(['action'])
                    ->make(true);
        }
      
        return view('productAjax');
    }

    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        Product::updateOrCreate(['id' => $request->product_id],
                ['name' => $request->name, 'detail' => $request->detail]);        
   
        return response()->json(['success'=>'Product saved successfully.']);
    }
    /**
     * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  \App\Product  $product
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function edit($id)
    {
        $product = Product::find($id);
        return response()->json($product);
    }

    /**
     * Remove the specified resource from storage.
     *
     * @param  \App\Product  $product
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function destroy($id)
    {
        Product::find($id)->delete();
     
        return response()->json(['success'=>'Product deleted successfully.']);
    }
}

Ok, so after run bellow command you will find "app/Product.php" and put bellow content in Product.php file:

app/Product.php

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Product extends Model
{
     protected $fillable = [
        'name', 'detail'
    ];
}

Step 7: Add Blade Files

In last step. In this step we have to create just blade file. so we need to create only one blade file as productAjax.blade.php file.

So let's just create following file and put bellow code.

resources/views/productAjax.blade.php

Now you can test it by using following command:

php artisan serve

Now you can open bellow URL on your browser:

http://localhost:8000/ajaxproducts

It will help you...
