Laravel package for simply adding filters to Eloquent models.

Instalation

composer require kamil-koscielniak/eloquent-filters

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config

Usage

Step 1 - Define filters in Eloquent model

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use KamilKoscielniak\EloquentFilters\Filters\PartialFilter;
use KamilKoscielniak\EloquentFilters\Filters\RangeFilter;
use KamilKoscielniak\EloquentFilters\Traits\Filterable;

class Product extends Model
{
    use Filterable;
    
    public static array $filters = [
        'code' => PartialFilter::class,
        'price' => RangeFilter::class,
    ];
}

Note that the names of filters (code and price in above example) must be same as the column names in database table.

Step 2 - Filtering data

For example you can filter your data like this

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Product;

class ProductController extends Controller
{
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        $products = Product::filter($request)->get();

        return response()->json(compact('products'));
    }
}

Step 3 - Use filters in query string

Example url below will return products with price between 21.99 and 99.99

http://localhost/products?price=21.99/99.99

Available filter types

PartialFilter

For partial searching.

Example usage:

http://localhost/products?name=blue

Above example will retrieve products which names contains phrase blue

ExactFilter

For exact searching.

Example usage:

http://localhost/customers?name=mike

Above example will retrieve customers which names are equals to mike

RangeFilter

For range searching.
Use range separator / to separate min and max values

Example usage:

http://localhost/products?price=21.99/99.99

Above example will retrieve products which price are between 21.99 and 99.99

Note that provided values must be numeric.

By default RangeFilter use operators <= and >=. If you don't want include provided values in search results than use exclusion mode.

Example usage with exclusion mode:

http://localhost/products?price=21.99|e/99.99

Above example will retrieve products which price is greater than 21.99 and lower or equal than 99.99

Searching in relationships

Sample eloquent model with relationship filter:

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use KamilKoscielniak\EloquentFilters\Filters\PartialFilter;
use KamilKoscielniak\EloquentFilters\Traits\Filterable;

class Product extends Model
{
    use Filterable;
    
    public static array $filters = [
        'category__code' => PartialFilter::class,
    ];

    public function category()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Category::class);
    }

}

In example above filter category__code is relationship filter because it use FILTERS_RELATIONSHIP_SEPARATOR in name (by default __). In this filter name category is name of relationship and code is column name in related Category model.

So this filter give you possibility to filter Product models by code of related Category model.

Exclusion mode

In each of filter types you can use exclusion mode. Just add |e suffix to value that you want to exclude. If you want use custom suffix you can change it, see Configuration section below.

Configuration

Run php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config Config file you will find in app/filters.php
