README

Search using Laravel's query builder across multiple fields, including related models, in a simple and efficient way.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require diarsa/laravel-where-like

Usage

Without whereLike (Traditional Way)

Without this package, you would need to write complex queries with multiple orWhere and orWhereHas clauses:

$search = $request->search;
return User::where('status', 1)
    ->where(function ($query) use ($search) {
        $query->where('name', 'LIKE', "%{$search}%")
              ->orWhere('address', 'LIKE', "%{$search}%")
              ->orWhereHas('categoryDetail', function ($query) use ($search) {
                  $query->where('category_code', 'LIKE', "%{$search}%");
              })
              ->orWhereHas('histories', function ($query) use ($search) {
                  $query->where('device', 'LIKE', "%{$search}%");
              });
    })
    ->get();

With whereLike (Simplified Way)

With this package, you can perform searches across multiple fields, including related models, using this simple method:

$search = $request->search;
return User::where('status', 1)
    ->whereLike(
        ['name', 'address', 'categoryDetail.category_code', 'histories.device'], 
        $search
    )
    ->get();

More Examples

Searching in Multiple Fields

// Search in user's basic fields
User::whereLike(['name', 'email', 'phone'], $searchTerm)->get();

Searching in Related Models

// Search in user and their profile information
User::whereLike([
    'name', 
    'email', 
    'profile.bio', 
    'profile.location',
    'posts.title',
    'posts.content'
], $searchTerm)->get();

Searching with Additional Conditions

// Combine with other query conditions
User::where('status', 'active')
    ->where('created_at', '>=', now()->subMonth())
    ->whereLike(['name', 'email', 'profile.bio'], $searchTerm)
    ->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')
    ->paginate(10);

Additional Features

Mask Sensitive Data

The package also provides a maskSensitiveData macro for Laravel Collections to help you mask sensitive information:

use Illuminate\Support\Collection;

$sensitiveData = collect(['[e-mail]', '081234567890', 'SecretPassword123']);

// Default masking (shows first 2 and last 2 characters)
$masked = $sensitiveData->map(function ($item) {
    return collect()->maskSensitiveData($item);
});
// Result: ['jo***@email.com', '08******7890', 'Se**********123']

// Custom masking (first 3 and last 1 characters)
$customMasked = $sensitiveData->map(function ($item) {
    return collect()->maskSensitiveData($item, 3, 1);
});
// Result: ['joh******.com', '083*******0', 'Sec**********3']

Requirements

• PHP 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, or 8.4
• Laravel 9.x, 10.x, 11.x, or 12.x

Another methods.

$laravelWhereLike = new Diarsa\LaravelWhereLike\LaravelWhereLike();
echo $laravelWhereLike->tambah(1, 4);

use Diarsa\LaravelWhereLike\LaravelWhereLike;
Route::get('calculate', function() {
    return LaravelWhereLike::tambah(1, 4);
});
