Quickstart Looks like this:

    'id' => "nameofthetablethatwillbedynamised"
  ]);

Template for table:

<table id="nameofthetablethatwillbedynamised">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th data-dynatable-column="name">Name can contain anything now...</th>
      <th>Hobby</th>
      <th>Favorite Music</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>Fred</td>
      <td>Roller Skating</td>
      <td>Disco</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Helen</td>
      <td>Rock Climbing</td>
      <td>Alternative</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Glen</td>
      <td>Traveling</td>
      <td>Classical</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

extended options are:

'clientOptions' => [
    'table' => [
        'defaultColumnIdStyle' => 'trimDash' //can be "underscore" too - look dynatable.js website for more options
    ],
    'dataset' => [
        'ajax' => true,
        'ajaxUrl' => Url::to('/your/route/to/json'),
        'ajaxOnLoad' => true,
        'records' => [],
    ],
    'features' => [
        'paginate' => false,
        'recordCount' => false,
        'sorting' => true,
        'search' => false
    ],
    'params' => [
        //'queries' => 'queries',
        'sorts' => 'sort',
        'page' => 'pageCount',
        'perPage' => 'perPage',
        'offset' => 'offset',
        'records' => 'items',
        'record' => 'item',
        'queryRecordCount' => 'totalCount',
        'totalRecordCount' => 'totalCount'
    ]
]

If you set the params like above, the dynatable should work fine with the build in yii2 rest api.

if you are using ajax, you need to ensure, that the response looks like this:

{
  "records": [
    {
      "someAttribute": "I am record one",
      "someOtherAttribute": "Fetched by AJAX"
    },
    {
      "someAttribute": "I am record two",
      "someOtherAttribute": "Cuz it's awesome"
    },
    {
      "someAttribute": "I am record three",
      "someOtherAttribute": "Yup, still AJAX"
    }
  ],
  "queryRecordCount": 3,
  "totalRecordCount": 3
}
