Easily create filters for your Eloquent model.
Based on Jeffray Way's Laracast tutorial.
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"
}
]
}
- 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 ofMyModel::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'));
}
}
