JS

$('#start_date').datepicker({
  dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
  autoclose: true
})

$('#end_date').datepicker({
  dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
  autoclose: true
})

$('#table-sales').DataTable();

Now my problem is that I don't know what to put on the controller and I don't know how to show it on my table-sales . I don't know if the code I am putting is correct or if I am on the right path . I'm using codeigniter3x . Could someone help me please.

Thank you in advance for someone who will help me .

Answer 1

1. You can call ajax when click on Search button and pass start and end date as parameters in ajax request and filter data.

2. After get ajax response from controller you can update tbody of table-sales table using jquery with updated data. Example Assume you get array of updated data var tab_body = '';

     $.each(sub_subject, function (key, value) { tab_body = tab_body + '<tr><td>' + value.sub_subject_name + '</td>' + '<td>' + value.sub_subject_code + '</td>' + '<td><div class="text-center"><button class="btn btn-primary open_edit_sub_subject_model" sub_subject_id="' + value.sub_subject_id + '" type="button" title="Edit" request_type="open_edit" subject_name="' + d.subject_name + '"><i class="fas fa-edit"></i></button>\\n\\ <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary subject-data-delete" title="Remove" delete_type="sub_subject" subject_group_id="' + d.subject_group_id + '" subject_id="' + d.subject_id + '" sub_subject_id="' + value.sub_subject_id + '"><i class="fa fa-trash"></i></button>\\n\\ </div></td>' + '</tr>'; }); // example is just for reference put above data in table using $("#table-sales tbody").html(tab_body); 

   Hopfully it will help.
