Passing data to the class

[joshblevins1985]

I am trying to pass search data to the class from the controller. Here is what I got so far but when I put the variables in to pass they do not go to the datatable class.

Controller

`public function narcoticLogs(NarcoticLogsDataTable $dataTable, $start = NULL , $end = NULL)
{
if(!$start){
$start = Carbon::now()->subMonth(1)->startOfDay();
}else{
$start = Carbon::parse($start)->startOfDay();
}
if(!$end){
$end = Carbon::now()->endOfDay();
}else{
$end = Carbon::parse($end)->endOfDay();
}

return $dataTable->render('logistics.narcoticLogs');

}` 

`<?php

namespace Vanguard\DataTables;

{
