 ## Modified 
 
-Modified make and datatable function . Second parameter here is boolean 
-with default to false indicate whether you want json response or not.
-If you don't pass second parameter then you need to use init() function 
-as we are using in previous version.
+Modified datatable function to support server side export to xls,csv and json
 
-```php
+You just need to pass 2 new arguments in query-string/body  `export` and ` ext `
 
-echo datatable()->make(User::query(),true);
-echo datatable(User::query(),true);
+if ` export = true ` it will return download file response
+for `ext` default value is `xlsx`
 
+```javascript 
+    https://datatable-url?export=true&ext=xlsx
 ```
