How to call the jquery datatable using Ajax post method
same as this link but in post method

$users = User::select([
DB::raw("CONCAT(users.id,'-',users.id) as id"),
'users.name',
'users.email',
DB::raw('count(posts.user_id) AS count'),

->filterColumn('users.id', 'whereRaw', "CONCAT(users.id,'-',users.id) like ? ", ["$1"]);
// having count search
if ($post = $datatables->request->get('post')) {
$datatables->having('count', $datatables->request->get('operator'), $post);
}
// additional users.name search
if ($name = $datatables->request->get('name')) {
$datatables->where('users.name', 'like', "$name%");
}
return $datatables->make(true);

Answer 1

When you initialize the DataTable on javascript, set the ajax method to post like this:
"type": "POST"
(adding it on the example that you linked):
ajax: {
url: 'http://datatables.yajrabox.com/eloquent/advance-filter-data',
type: "POST",
data: function (d) {
d.name = $('input[name=name]').val();
d.operator = $('select[name=operator]').val();
d.post = $('input[name=post]').val();
}
},
and then on laravel you should be able to access the inputs in form of
$datatables->request->post('post')
