**Step 3: Add Dummy Records**

In this step, we will create some dummy users using tinker factory. so let's create dummy records using bellow command:

```
php artisan tinkerfactory(App\User::class, 200)->create();
```

**Step 4: Add Route**

In this is step we need to create route for datatables layout file and another one for getting data. so open your routes/web.php file and add following route.

routes/web.php

```
Route::get('users', ['uses'=>'UserController@index', 'as'=>'users.index']);
```

**Step 5: Create Controller**

In this point, now we should create new controller as UserController. this controller will manage layout and getting data request and return response, so put bellow content in controller file:

app/Http/Controllers/UserController.php

```
<?php     namespace App\Http\Controllers;     use App\User;use Illuminate\Http\Request;use DataTables;     class UserController extends Controller{    /**     * Display a listing of the resource.     *     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response     */    public function index(Request $request)    {        if ($request->ajax()) {            $data = User::latest()->get();            return Datatables::of($data)                    ->addIndexColumn()                    ->addColumn('action', function($row){                              $btn = '<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="edit btn btn-primary btn-sm">View</a>';                                 return $btn;                    })                    ->rawColumns(['action'])                    ->make(true);        }              return view('users');    }}
```

**Step 6: Create View**

In Last step, let's create users.blade.php(resources/views/users.blade.php) for layout and we will write design code here and put following code:

resources/views/users.blade.php

```
