Now we will add routes in web.php file as like below.

Open routes/web.php file

 Route::resource('ajax-crud-list', 'UsersController');
 Route::post('ajax-crud-list/store', 'UsersController@store');
 Route::get('ajax-crud-list/delete/{id}', 'UsersController@destroy');

Create Controller

We need to create new controller UsersController that will manage two method. lets use this below command and create Controller.

php artisan make:controller UsersController

Now open the controller let’s go to the => app/Http/Controllers/UsersController.php. Now create some methods for add user, edit user and delete user.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Redirect,Response;

class UsersController extends Controller
{
/**
 * Display a listing of the resource.
 *
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function index()
{
    if(request()->ajax()) {
        return datatables()->of(User::select('*'))
        ->addColumn('action', 'action_button')
        ->rawColumns(['action'])
        ->addIndexColumn()
        ->make(true);
    }
    return view('list');
}


/**
 * Store a newly created resource in storage.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function store(Request $request)
{
    $userId = $request->user_id;
    $user   =   User::updateOrCreate(['id' => $userId],
                ['name' => $request->name, 'email' => $request->email]);
    return Response::json($user);
}


/**
 * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
 *
 * @param  \App\Product  $product
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function edit($id)
{
    $where = array('id' => $id);
    $user  = User::where($where)->first();

    return Response::json($user);
}


/**
 * Remove the specified resource from storage.
 *
 * @param  \App\Product  $product
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function destroy($id)
{
    $user = User::where('id',$id)->delete();

    return Response::json($user);
}
}

Create Blade View

First Create Button view

We need to create action_button.blade.php file. This file contain two button name edit and delete.

<a href="javascript:void(0)" data-toggle="tooltip"  data-id="{{ $id }}" data-original-title="Edit" class="edit btn btn-success edit-user">
	Edit
</a>
<a href="javascript:void(0);" id="delete-user" data-toggle="tooltip" data-original-title="Delete" data-id="{{ $id }}" class="delete btn btn-danger">

    <div class="modal-footer">

Script logic

Next we will create script tag and write some code for showing list, create user, edit user and delete user. In this script, put the below of after closing of body tag.

<script>
var SITEURL = '{{URL::to('')}}';
 $(document).ready( function () {
   $.ajaxSetup({
      headers: {
          'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
      }
  });
  $('#laravel_datatable').DataTable({
         processing: true,
         serverSide: true,
         ajax: {
          url: SITEURL + "ajax-crud-list",
          type: 'GET',
         },
         columns: [
                  {data: 'id', name: 'id', 'visible': false},
                  {data: 'DT_RowIndex', name: 'DT_RowIndex', orderable: false,searchable: false},
                  { data: 'name', name: 'name' },
                  { data: 'email', name: 'email' },
                  { data: 'created_at', name: 'created_at' },
                  {data: 'action', name: 'action', orderable: false},
               ],
        order: [[0, 'desc']]
      });
 /*  When user click add user button */
    $('#create-new-user').click(function () {
        $('#btn-save').val("create-user");
        $('#user_id').val('');
        $('#userForm').trigger("reset");
        $('#userCrudModal').html("Add New User");
        $('#ajax-crud-modal').modal('show');
    });

   /* When click edit user */
    $('body').on('click', '.edit-user', function () {
      var user_id = $(this).data('id');
      $.get('ajax-crud-list/' + user_id +'/edit', function (data) {
         $('#name-error').hide();
         $('#email-error').hide();
         $('#userCrudModal').html("Edit User");
          $('#btn-save').val("edit-user");
          $('#ajax-crud-modal').modal('show');
          $('#user_id').val(data.id);
          $('#name').val(data.name);
          $('#email').val(data.email);
      })
   });
    $('body').on('click', '#delete-user', function () {

        var user_id = $(this).data("id");
        if(confirm("Are You sure want to delete !")){

        $.ajax({
            type: "get",
            url: SITEURL + "ajax-crud-list/delete/"+user_id,
            success: function (data) {
            var oTable = $('#laravel_datatable').dataTable();
            oTable.fnDraw(false);
            },
            error: function (data) {
                console.log('Error:', data);
            }
        });
      }
    });
   });

if ($("#userForm").length > 0) {
      $("#userForm").validate({

     submitHandler: function(form) {

      var actionType = $('#btn-save').val();
      $('#btn-save').html('Sending..');

      $.ajax({
          data: $('#userForm').serialize(),
          url: SITEURL + "ajax-crud-list/store",
          type: "POST",
          dataType: 'json',
          success: function (data) {

              $('#userForm').trigger("reset");
              $('#ajax-crud-modal').modal('hide');
              $('#btn-save').html('Save Changes');
              var oTable = $('#laravel_datatable').dataTable();
              oTable.fnDraw(false);

          },
          error: function (data) {
              console.log('Error:', data);
              $('#btn-save').html('Save Changes');
          }
      });
    }
  })
}
</script>

 If you want to run the project diffrent port so use this below command 
 php artisan serve --port=8080  

Now we are ready to run our example so run bellow command to quick run.
