Pass param to ajax?

lol_user

Hello!

Im pretty new to datatables and to laravel as well, but i managed to get it working but not the way i need still...
I use yajara laravel datatables plugin . I got my table displayed and at present if ii doubleclick on a row in shows me another view with all the data from another table. But i need to pass an ID of the row i clicked and pass this id to that view to display only relevant rows from other table..

By doubleclick a send a request like this: http://fttb/port?id=37

Route:===============

Route::controller('port', 'PortController', [
    'anyData'  => 'port.data',
    'index' => 'port',
    ]);

in PortController: ===========================

public function index()
    {
    return view('ports.index');        
    }
public function anyData()
{
    return Datatables::of(Port::select('*')->where('dev_id','=',37))->make(true);
}

And my view===================

@extends('master')

@section('content')
    <table class="display" id="ports-table"> 
        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th>Dev_id</th>
                <th>Portnumber</th>
                <th>Descriiption</th>
                <th>Speed</th>
                <th>Created At</th>
                <th>Updated At</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
    </table>
@stop
@push('scripts')
<script>
$(function() {
    var table = $('#ports-table').DataTable({
    responsive: true,
        processing: true,
        serverSide: true,
        ajax: '{!! route('port.data') !!}',
    select: true,
        columns: [
            { data: 'dev_id', name: 'dev_id' },
            { data: 'portnum', name: 'portnum' },
            { data: 'description', name: 'description' },
            { data: 'speed', name: 'speed' },
            { data: 'created_at', name: 'created_at', searchable: 'false' },
            { data: 'updated_at', name: 'updated_at', searchable: 'false' }
        ],
    });

  });
</script>
@endpush

Now by doubleclicking it shows me the row from my 'ports' table with 37th id but only because I asked for it directly from controller's function anyData(). I need to get this ID from http request and pass it somehow to controller ...

I think what you're looking for, is the ajax.data, and if you need to change the data type (POST, PUT, GET, etc), then ajax.type should suffice (No direct reference docs for that though, oddly enough)

Heres the example in the docs:

$('#example').dataTable( {
    "ajax": {
        "url": "data.json",
        "type": "POST",
        "data": {
            "user_id": 451
        }
    }
} );

I thought about this option, but I don't know how to connect

ajax: '{!! route('port.data') !!}', 

with ajax.data option....e.g. where to put it

Two options:

1. Use ajax.url() and set the id as a GET parameter
2. Use ajax.data as a function and have that function obtain the id to be sent (be it from a variable, a DOM element or wherever).
