Fix Laravel Datatable Loading

The DataTable in my Laravel application sits forever on “Processing” instead of pulling the expected database records. It happens in every browser and only began after I integrated Vendor scripts for DataTables alongside Bootstrap and Select2, so I suspect a conflict or mis-configured AJAX endpoint.

Here’s what you would walk into: a standard Laravel 10 stack, server-side processing enabled, routes and controller returning JSON, but the table never renders. I need you to trace the break—whether it lives in the JavaScript bundle, the DataTables initialisation, or a Laravel response—and put the table back to work.

Deliverable
• A clean commit or patch that lets the DataTable load my database records without the perpetual “Processing” message, with Bootstrap and Select2 still functioning.
• Brief notes outlining the fix so I can replicate it in staging.

If you have untangled a DataTables-Laravel issue before, tell me how soon you can jump in and roughly how long you expect the repair to take.
