Data Tables

The dataTable() method accepts associative arrays or Eloquent collections, automatically extracting columns and labels.

Basic Usage

$users = [
    ['name' => 'Alice', 'email' => 'alice@example.com', 'role' => 'Admin'],
    ['name' => 'Bob', 'email' => 'bob@example.com', 'role' => 'Editor'],
];

$pdf->dataTable($users);

Without options, all keys from the first record are used as columns, and the keys become header labels.

With Options

$pdf->dataTable($users, [
    'columns' => ['name', 'email', 'created_at', 'subscription_amount'],
    'columnLabels' => [
        'name' => 'Full Name',
        'created_at' => 'Joined',
        'subscription_amount' => 'MRR',
    ],
    'formatters' => [
        'created_at' => fn($v) => date('M j, Y', strtotime($v)),
        'subscription_amount' => fn($v) => '$' . number_format($v / 100, 2),
    ],
    'columnAligns' => ['left', 'left', 'center', 'right'],
]);

Options

Eloquent Integration

$users = User::all()->toArray();

$pdf->dataTable($users, [
    'columns' => ['name', 'email', 'created_at'],
    'columnLabels' => ['created_at' => 'Joined'],
    'formatters' => [
        'created_at' => fn($v) => Carbon::parse($v)->format('M j, Y'),
    ],
]);
