QueryFilter for Laravel

This package allows you to filter, sort and include eloquent relations based on a request. The QueryFilter used in this package extends Laravel's default Eloquent builder. This means all your favorite methods and macros are still available.

Requirements

• PHP 8.2+
• Laravel 10/11/12

Installation

Follow the steps below to install the package.

Composer

composer require samushi/queryfilter

Basic Usage

This package helps you easily filter your Eloquent queries based on request parameters.

Creating Filters

Step 1: Create a Filters directory inside your app folder, then create filter classes:

Step 2: Create a filter class (e.g., Search.php):

namespace App\Filters;

use Samushi\QueryFilter\Filter;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;

class Search extends Filter
{
    /**
     * Search results using whereLike
     * 
     * @param Builder $builder
     * @return Builder
     */
    protected function applyFilter(Builder $builder): Builder
    {
        // Search with relationship: ['name', 'posts.title']
        return $builder->whereLike(['name'], $this->getValue());
    }
}

Note: Filter class names must match request parameter names. For example, the Search class corresponds to request()->input('search').

Using Filters in Controllers

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\User;
use App\Filters\Search;
use Samushi\QueryFilter\Facade\QueryFilter;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        $filters = [
            Search::class,
            // Add more filters here
        ];

        return QueryFilter::query(User::query(), $filters)->paginate(10);
    }
}

Using Model QueryFilter Method

// Now you can directly use queryFilter on models
$users = User::queryFilter([
    Search::class,
    // Other filters
])->paginate(10);

Available Macros

whereLike

Search in multiple columns or relationships:

// Search in name column
$users = User::whereLike(['name'], $searchTerm)->get();

// Search in name and email columns
$users = User::whereLike(['name', 'email'], $searchTerm)->get();

// Search in relationship columns
$users = User::whereLike(['name', 'posts.title'], $searchTerm)->get();

whereDateBetween

Filter records between two dates:

// Default format: d/m/Y
$users = User::whereDateBetween('created_at', '01/01/2023', '31/12/2023')->get();

// Custom formats
$users = User::whereDateBetween('created_at', '01-01-2023', '31-12-2023', 'd-m-Y', 'Y-m-d')->get();

Creating Custom Filters

You can create custom filters by extending the base Filter class:

namespace App\Filters;

use Samushi\QueryFilter\Filter;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;

class PriceRange extends Filter
{
    protected function applyFilter(Builder $builder): Builder
    {
        $range = explode(',', $this->getValue());
        
        if (count($range) === 2) {
            return $builder->whereBetween('price', [$range[0], $range[1]]);
        }
        
        return $builder;
    }
}

Then use it in your controller:

// Usage: ?price_range=10,100
