namespace App\Http\Controllers;
     
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;
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');
