Best Datatable plugin for laravel ?

Yes, this is brilliant, I use it in every project:

https://datatables.net/

In combination with laravel package for datatables

https://yajrabox.com/docs/laravel-datatables/6.0/introduction

@phpMick i tried that one on a sample project ... but cant seem to get the customization right

this is how i installed it

npm install datatables.net    
npm install datatables.net-dt 

then in my app.js

var $  = require( 'jquery' );
var dt = require( 'datatables.net' )();

then in my blade

$(document).ready( function () {

  $('#table_id').DataTable();
} );

this gave me a barley formatted table and the only way i can think of to customize it is by targeting the elements directly .is there an easyier way
