Controller

just do on query builder. It's recommended set toJson() argument to true return data as array of objects will easier to handle.

                    
use \Hermawan\DataTables\DataTable;

public function subquery()
{
    $db = db_connect();
    $builder = $db->table('orders')
                  ->select('orderNumber, orderDate, customers.customerName')
                  ->select('(SELECT count(*) FROM orderdetails where orderdetails.orderNumber = orders.orderNumber) as countItem')
                  ->select('status')
                  ->join('customers', 'customers.customersNumber = orders.customersNumber');

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

Javascript

                    
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#table').DataTable({
        processing: true,
        serverSide: true,
        ajax: '/ajax-datatable/subquery',
        columns: [
            {data: 'orderNumber'},
            {data: 'orderDate'},
            {data: 'customerName'},
            {data: 'countItem'},
            {data: 'status'},
        ]
    });
});

Some case may we meet ambiguous column name. Or maybe want to custom orderable / searchable column Add name property on columns option with table.column_name

                    
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#table').DataTable({
        processing: true,
        serverSide: true,
        ajax: '/ajax-datatable/subquery',
        columns: [
            {data: 'orderNumber',   name: 'orders.orderNumber'},
            {data: 'orderDate',     name: 'orders.orderDate'},
            {data: 'customerName',  name: 'customers.customerName'},
            {data: 'countItem',     name: 'countItem'},
            {data: 'status',        name: 'orders.status'},
        ]
    });
});
