public function ajaxDatatable()
{
    $db = db_connect();
    $builder = $db->table('customers')->select('customerNumber, customerName, phone, city, country, postalCode');

    return DataTable::of($builder)->toJson();
}

You can initialize using Model instead Query Builder This is simple example basic code

Controller :

use \Rifa\DataTables\DataTable;

public function ajaxDatatable()
{
    $customerModel = new CustomerModel();
    $customerModel->select('customerNumber, customerName, phone, city, country, postalCode');

    return DataTable::of($customerModel)->toJson();
}

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#table').DataTable({
        processing: true,
