Datatables on pages other than list

[sammyblackbaron]

Hi,

I have a field in my edit crud method that shows a table of user activity. No interactive functionality, just for data:

[   // view
    'name' => 'activity-table',
    'type' => 'view',
    'view' => 'partials/activity-table' // basically just an HTML table
],

I would really like to make that table use Datatables, styled like the rest of backpack.

Is that possible?

Still using v5 but planning on upgrading to v6 soon!

Hey @sammyblackbaron
Yes, you can style your custom table view like the rest of the backpack.

1. Check list operation view here vendor/backpack/crud/src/resources/views/crud/list.blade.php

2. Take styles sheet cdn links and use the same CSS classes of the table tag.

This way you will achieve the same look. More info on styling data tables is here
