Step 1 – Download Laravel 8 App

First of all, download or install laravel 8 new setup. So, open the terminal and type the following command to install the new laravel 8 app into your machine:

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

Step 2 – Database Configuration

Setup database with your downloaded/installed laravel 8 app. So, you need to find .env file and setup database details as following:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=database-name
DB_USERNAME=database-user-name
DB_PASSWORD=database-password

Step 3 – Installing Yajra Datatables

Navigate to your downloaded laravel 8 app directory. And then install Yajra Datatables Packages in your laravel 8 by using the following command:

composer require yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle

Then configure datatables package. So go to config directory and open app.php file. And add the following service providers into app.php file:

config/app.php

 'providers' => [
   
   Yajra\Datatables\DatatablesServiceProvider::class,
],

 'aliases' => [

  'Datatables' => Yajra\Datatables\Facades\Datatables::class,
] 

Then publish laravel datatables vendor package by using the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish

Step 4 – Build Model & Migration

Open again your command prompt. And run the following command on it. To create model and migration file:

php artisan make:model Company -m

After that, open create_companies_table.php file inside /database/migrations/ directory. And the update the function up() with following code:

    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('companies', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('name');
            $table->string('email');
            $table->string('address');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

Then, open again command prompt and run the following command to create tables into database:

php artisan migrate

Step 5 – Make Routes

Then create routes for laravel crud app. So, open web.php file from the routes directory of laravel CRUD app. And update the following routes into the web.php file:

Route::resource('companies', CompanyCRUDController::class);
Route::post('delete-company', [CompanyCRUDController::class,'destroy']);

Step 6 – Generate CRUD Controller By Artisan Command

Create a controller by using the following command on the command prompt to create a controller file:

php artisan make:controller CompanyCRUDController

After that, visit at app/Http/controllers and open CompanyCRUDController.php file. And update the following code into it:

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
   
use App\Models\Company;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Datatables;
  
class CompanyCRUDController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {

        if(request()->ajax()) {
            return datatables()->of(Company::select('*'))
            ->addColumn('action', 'companies.action')
            ->rawColumns(['action'])
            ->addIndexColumn()
            ->make(true);
        }
        return view('companies.index');

    }
     
    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function create()
    {
        return view('companies.create');
    }
    
    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'name' => 'required',
            'email' => 'required',
            'address' => 'required'
        ]);

        $company = new Company;

        $company->name = $request->name;
        $company->email = $request->email;
        $company->address = $request->address;


        $company->save();

     
        return redirect()->route('companies.index')
                        ->with('success','Company has been created successfully.');
    }
     
    /**
     * Display the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  \App\company  $company
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function show(Company $company)
    {
        return view('companies.show',compact('company'));
    } 
     
    /**
     * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  \App\Company  $company
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function edit(Company $company)
    {
        return view('companies.edit',compact('company'));
    }
    
    /**
     * Update the specified resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \App\company  $company
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function update(Request $request, $id)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'name' => 'required',
            'email' => 'required',
            'address' => 'required'
        ]);
        
        $company = Company::find($id);

        $company->name = $request->name;
        $company->email = $request->email;
        $company->address = $request->address;

        $company->save();
    
        return redirect()->route('companies.index')
                        ->with('success','Company Has Been updated successfully');
    }
    
    /**
     * Remove the specified resource from storage.
     *
     * @param  \App\Company  $company
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function destroy(Request $request)
    {
    
        $com = Company::where('id',$request->id)->delete();
     
        return Response()->json($com);
    }
}

Step 6 – Create Blade Views File

Create the directory and some blade view, see the following:

  • Make Directory Name Companies
  • index.blade.php
  • create.blade.php
  • edit.blade.php
  • action.blade.php

Create directory name companies inside resources/views directory.

Note that, create index.blade.php, create.blade.php and edit.blade inside companies directory. And update the following code into following files:

index.blade.php:

action.blade.php

<a href="{{ route('companies.edit',$id) }}" data-toggle="tooltip" data-original-title="Edit" class="edit btn btn-success edit">
	Edit
</a>
<a href="javascript:void(0)" data-id="{{ $id }}" data-toggle="tooltip" data-original-title="Delete" class="delete btn btn-danger">
	Delete
</a>

Note that, the following jQuery ajax code will delete data from datatable and database without refresh or reload page in laravel 8 app:

    $('body').on('click', '.delete', function () {

       if (confirm("Delete Record?") == true) {
        var id = $(this).data('id');
         
        // ajax
        $.ajax({
            type:"POST",
            url: "{{ url('delete-company') }}",
            data: { id: id},
            dataType: 'json',
            success: function(res){

              var oTable = $('#datatable-crud').dataTable();
              oTable.fnDraw(false);
           }
        });
       }

     });

If you submit the add or edit form blank. So the error message will be displayed with the help of the code given below:

  @error('name')
  <div class="alert alert-danger mt-1 mb-1">{{ $message }}</div>
  @enderror

Don’t forget to add the following yajra datatables jquery library into index.blade.php file:

  <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js"></script>

  <link  href="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.21/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

  <script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.21/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script>

Step 8 – Run Development Server

Last step, open command prompt and run the following command to start developement server:

php artisan serve

Then open your browser and hit the following url on it:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/companies

The laravel 8 datatables crud operation app will looks like following images:
