Here is what I did. I created this method in the bottom of my controller:

private JsonResult GenerateDataTableResponse<T>(int draw, IPagedList<T> model)
{
    return new JsonResult(new
    {
        draw = draw,
        recordsTotal = model.TotalCount,
        recordsFiltered = model.TotalCount,
        data = model
    });
}

Then I made my actions like this:

[Produces("application/json")]
[HttpGet("{id}/entries")]
public async Task<IActionResult> Entries(Guid id, [FromQuery(Name = "draw")] int draw)
{
    // Getting my entries. The variable entries is an instance of IQueryable<T> where T in my case is EntryViewModel.

    var request = new DataTablesRequest<EntryViewModel>(Request.QueryString.ToString());
    var filtered = entryViewModels.ToPagedList(request);
    return GenerateDataTableResponse(draw, filtered);
}

By the way, if you would like a .NET Core-compatible version of the library you should checkout this NuGet package: https://github.com/sebastianbk/DataTables.Queryable.Core

Latest versions (since 1.7.0) of the library support .Net Core 2.0. Please check the: https://www.nuget.org/packages/DataTables.Queryable
