Laravel Query Filters for Laravel.

Requirements

• PHP >= 7.4, >= 8.0
• Laravel >= 6.0

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require dinhquochan/laravel-query-filters

If you don't use auto-discovery, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

\DinhQuocHan\QueryFilters\QueryFilterServiceProvider::class,

Basic usage

Create basic filter app/Filters/PostFilter.php:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Filters;

use DinhQuocHan\QueryFilters\QueryFilter;

class PostFilter extends QueryFilter
{
    /**
     * Filter by user id.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return void
     */
    public function userId($id)
    {
        $this->getQuery()->where('user_id', $id);
    }
}

In App\Http\Controllers\PostController:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Post;
use App\Http\Filters\PostFilter;

class PostController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @param  \App\Http\Filters\PostFilter  $filter
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index(PostFilter $filter)
    {
        $posts = $filter->of(Post::class)->get();
        // or $filter->of(Post::query())->get();
        // or $filter->of(new Post())->get();

        // Send it to view.
        return view('posts.index', compact('posts'));
    }
}

Making a new filter

The package included an artisan command to create a new filter.

php artisan make:filter PostFilter

This filter will have the App\Http\Filters namespace and will be saved in app/Http/Filters.

or into a custom namespace, say, App\Blog

php artisan make:filter "Blog/PostFilter"

This filter will have the App\Blog namespace and will be saved in app/Blog.

Available traits

Sortable

Allow to sort items, you must add $sortable property, default if not call sort and sort_by in request, the trait will add default sorting column to query:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Filters;

use DinhQuocHan\QueryFilters\SortableQueryFilter;
use DinhQuocHan\QueryFilters\QueryFilter;

class PostFilter extends QueryFilter
{
    use SortableQueryFilter;

    /**
     * Sort direction.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $sortDirection = 'desc';

    /**
     * Default sort by column.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $sortBy = 'created_at';

    /**
     * Sortable columns.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $sortable = [
        'created_at',
    ];
}

Example:

> your-url?sort_by=id
> SELECT * FROM `posts` ORDER BY `id` ASC

> your-url?sort_by=id&sort=desc
> SELECT * FROM `posts` ORDER BY `id` DESC

Searchable

Allow to search items, you must add $searchable property:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Filters;

use DinhQuocHan\QueryFilters\SearchableQueryFilter;
use DinhQuocHan\QueryFilters\QueryFilter;

class PostFilter extends QueryFilter
{
    use SearchableQueryFilter;

    /**
     * Searchable columns.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $searchable = [
        'id', 'title',
    ];
}

Example:

> your-url?search=foo or your-url?q=foo
> SELECT * FROM `posts` WHERE (`id` LIKE '%foo%' OR `title` LIKE '%foo%')

> your-url?search=foo*
> SELECT * FROM `posts` WHERE (`id` LIKE 'foo%' OR `title` LIKE 'foo%')

> your-url?search=*foo
> SELECT * FROM `posts` WHERE (`id` LIKE '%foo' OR `title` LIKE '%foo')

// your-url?search=foo&search_by=title
// SELECT * FROM `posts` WHERE `title` LIKE '%foo%'
