Anonymous Table Builder

The Anonymous Table Builder lets you spin up an Inertia Table inline from a controller via the static Table::build() method, without writing a dedicated Table class. It's the fastest way to render a simple table, but Row Actions and Exports are not supported, so reach for a dedicated Table class as soon as you need either.

Usage

You may define a table using the static build method of the Table class. It takes named arguments for configuration. Only resource and columns are required.

use App\Models\User;
use InertiaUI\Table\Columns;
use InertiaUI\Table\Filters;

class UsersController
{
    public function index()
    {
        return inertia('Users', [
            'users' => Table::build(
                resource: User::class,
                columns: [
                    Columns\TextColumn::make('name'),
                ],
                filters: [
                    Filters\TextFilter::make('name'),
                ],
            ),
        ]);
    }
}
