Problem statement

Code

        $('#categoryTable').DataTable({
            processing: true,
            serverSide: true,
            ajax: {
                url: '{!! route('category.data') !!}',
                data: function (d) {
                    d.name = $('input[type="search"]').val();

                }
            },
            columns: [
                {data: 'cat_name'},
                {data: 'action', name: 'action', orderable: false, searchable: false}
                
            ]
        });
});

Just access the ajax json using the api.

$(function() {
        var oTable = $('#categoryTable').DataTable({
            processing: true,
            serverSide: true,
            ajax: {
                url: '{!! route('category.data') !!}',
                data: function (d) {
                    d.name = $('input[type="search"]').val();

                }
            },
            columns: [
                {data: 'cat_name'},
                {data: 'action', name: 'action', orderable: false, searchable: false}
                
            ]
           drawCallback: function() {
               console.log(oTable.ajax.json())
           }
        });
});
