LaravelFilterable

A laravel package to handle filtering by URL query strings

Installation

Via Composer

$ composer require aidynmakhataev/laravel-filterable

Usage

1. Create a new filter with the following artisan command:

php artisan make:filter UserFilter

This will create App\Http\Filters\UserFilter.php. You can override the default namespace in config/filterable.php

return [

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Filters Configuration
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    */

    // namespace for the generated filters
    'namespace' =>  'App\Http\Filters'
];

Then, you need to define your filter logic by following this rules:

• Query string without a corresponding filter method are ignored
• Empty strings are ignored
• The value of the each request keys are injected into the corresponding filter method
• You are able to access the eloquent query builder instance by using $this->builder

Example:

For defining methods for the following url request:

http://yourdomain.com/api/users?gender=male&working=1

You would use the following methods:

namespace App\Http\Filters;

use AidynMakhataev\LaravelFilterable\BaseFilter;

class UserFilter extends BaseFilter
{
    public function gender($value)
    {
        return $this->builder->where('gender', $value);
    }

    public function working($value)
    {
        return $this->builder->where('is_working', $value);
    }
}

2. Add the trait and bind created in step 1 Filter Class to your model.

use AidynMakhataev\LaravelFilterable\Filterable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
   use Filterable;

   /**
    * Filters attribute.
    *
    * @var array
    */
   protected $filters = \App\Http\Filters\UserFilter::class;

}

3. Finally, use it in your Controller:

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        $users = User::filter($request->all())->get();

        return response()->json($users);
    }
}
