Livewire Datatables

I do use Livewire to create my own datatable, and I prefer it over the datatable libary as I have more comfort on doing everything in PHP rather then using jQuery, it is much easier to debug if I have any issues.

I still use the datatables library heavily, as I have a legacy project that I still maintain, but I am slowly moving each table to use livewire instead.

So far, don't have any issues with livewire, except that it is much more things to create at first. I use exporting to excel and so on, for which I need to do it manually now, but I still do prefer it this way.

I've implemented a livewire search & filter datatable view with pagination for a clients project. Extremely small data set, works fine. Pretty much follows the same setup as the videos on here. (without using scout or algolia)

I did have some things I had to change from the old table setup which was just simple server side output.

I had some edit buttons, that activated a livewire/alpine modal located in one the TD elements for each row. So that meant, i had to learn how to properly nest the livewire components in the livewire table loop. I ended up not keeping in like that, as it wasn't really important, but i did eventually get it working.

It seems really fast, but i didn't really test it with a huge dataset either, probably do that one day.
