Table Classes

Every table extends Forjed\InertiaTable\Table and implements one required method: columns().

Creating a Table

use Forjed\InertiaTable\Table;
use Forjed\InertiaTable\Column;

class ServerTable extends Table
{
    protected function columns(): array
    {
        return [
            Column::make('name', 'Name')->sortable()->text(),
            Column::make('ip', 'IP Address')->sortable(),
            Column::data('id'),
        ];
    }
}

Properties

Property	Type	Default	Description
$defaultSort	string	'created_at'	Default sort column
$defaultSortDir	string	'desc'	Default sort direction
$perPage	int	10 (from config)	Rows per page
$pageName	string	'page'	Query parameter name for pagination
$tableSettings	array	[]	Extension metadata for the frontend

Instantiation

The constructor accepts Eloquent\Builder, Query\Builder, or Relation instances:

// Static factory (recommended)
ServerTable::make(Server::query());

// With scopes
ServerTable::make(Server::where('active', true));

// With relations
ServerTable::make($project->servers());

Fluent Setters

ServerTable::make(Server::query())
    ->perPage(25)
    ->pageName('serversPage')           // for multi-table pages
    ->withSettings(['key' => 'value'])  // extension metadata
    ->paginate();

Output Methods

For Inertia (paginated response)

Method	Description
->paginate()	Full pagination - includes total count and last_page
->simplePaginate()	Simple pagination - no COUNT(*) query, faster

// In your controller
return Inertia::render('Servers', [
    'servers' => ServerTable::make(Server::query())->paginate(),
]);

For raw data (no pagination)

Method	Description
->toArray()	All matching rows as a flat array
->toCollection()	All matching rows as a Laravel Collection

Both apply search and sorting but skip pagination. Optional take and skip parameters for chunking:

// All rows
$rows = ServerTable::make(Server::query())->toArray();

// As a Collection
$rows = ServerTable::make(Server::query())->toCollection();

// With take/skip
$chunk = ServerTable::make(Server::query())->toArray(take: 100, skip: 200);

Searchable Fields

Override searchable() to enable global search:

protected function searchable(): array
{
    return ['name', 'ip', 'hostname'];
}

Return [] (the default) to disable search.
