ajax code

<!--  Ajax code for category live search  -->
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $('#cat_search').on('keyup',function(){
            $value = $(this).val();

Answer 1

the best way i can tell is to make a blade for that table and in controller just as usual return data to that view:

 return view('your-blade-just-for-table')->with('data', $data);

and in your blade again as usual you render your data with laravel in your table

so laravel will return a blade to your ajax-success method

and in your success method you can do something like:

    success: function (data) {
            $('.list-group').html(data);
        },

and wherever you want your table to be just put this div:

<div class="list-group" id="myFileContainer"></div>
