API Resource Support

Summary of problem or feature request

Is current version supports Eloquent API Resource?
As I am getting an Error:

Code snippet of problem

$items = ItemList::collection(Item::get());
return DataTables::of($items)->make(true);

No available engine for Illuminate\\Http\\Resources\\Json\\AnonymousResourceCollection

System details

• Operating System: CentOs
• PHP Version: 7
• Laravel Version: 5.5
• Laravel-Datatables Version: MySQL 5.7

It's not yet supported but you can convert it to collection instead for a workaround.

$items = ItemList::collection(Item::get())->collection->pluck('resource');
return DataTables::of($items)->make(true);

Thanks for your reply.

But this will return the collection of Items model, not the Resource API model.
Can I work around to return the API Resource structure instead?
