Button Styling

You can specify icon class to use (from FontAwesome):

2 styles are available: short and long

 # This will create button without label, only with icon. Label will popup on hover.
Column::action('show', 'Label')->icon('fa-globe')->style('short')

 # This will create button with icon and label
Column::action('show', 'Label')->icon('fa-globe')->style('long')

Defaults: default style is long without icon.

Button Target

You can specify target for button:

Column::action('show', 'Label')->url('http://test.com/:id')->target('_blank')

URL Usage

You can specify url for button, :id will be replaced for the clicked row id:

Column::action('show', 'Label')->url('http://test.com/:id')

or you can provide callback to generate url:

Column::action('show', 'Label')->url(function ($instance)
{
    return URL::route('my-route', [$instance->id]);
})

Custom Actions Usage

Use ->callback() method to set custom action:

Column::action('show', 'Label')->callback(function ($instance)
{
    # Any code you want
})

Closure can return redirect:

Column::action('show', 'Label')->callback(function ($instance)
{
    return Redirect::route('my-route', [$instance->id]);
})
