README

Easily create filters for your Eloquent model.

Based on Jeffray Way's Laracast tutorial.

Installation

The library is currently not available on Composer, so you have to declare it manually in your composer.json.

To do this, add the following in your composer.json :

{
    "require" : {
        "kblais/query-filter": "dev-master"
    },
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/kblais/query-filter"
        }
    ]
}

Usage

• Create your model filters, for exemple in a App\Http\Filters namespace :

<?php

namespace App\Http\Filters;

use Kblais\QueryFilter\QueryFilter;

class MyModelFilter extends QueryFilter
{
    public function foo($value)
    {
        return $this->builder->where('foo', 'bar');
    }
}

• Then, add the FilterableTrait on your model to allow the use of MyModel::filter() :

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Kblais\QueryFilter\FilterableTrait;

class MyClass extends Model
{
    use FilterableTrait;
}

• Finally, you can use the MyModel::filter() method in your controller :

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Filters\MyModelFilter;
use App\MyModel;
use Kblais\QueryFilter\FilterableTrait;

class MyController extends Controller
{
    public function index(MyModelFilter $filters)
    {
        $data = MyModel::filter($filters)->get();

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