##Usage

Service

You can directly use the service and to apply the multi search to any doctrine query builder.

public function indexAction(Request $request)
{
    $search = $request->get('search');
    $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
    
    $qb = $em->getRepository('AppBundle:Post')->createQueryBuilder('e');
    $qb = $this->get('petkopara_multi_search.builder')->searchEntity($qb, 'AppBundle:Post', $search);
   //$qb = $this->get('petkopara_multi_search.builder')->searchEntity($qb, 'AppBundle:Post', $search, array('name', 'content'), 'wildcard');

    ..
}

Form

Create your form type and include the multiSearchType in the buildForm function:

public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
    $builder
            ->add('search', MultiSearchType::class, array(
                'class' => 'AppBundle:Post', //required
                'search_fields' => array( //optional, if it's empty it will search in the all entity columns
                    'name',
                    'content'
                 ), 
                 'search_comparison_type' = > 'wildcard' //optional, what type of comparison to applied ('wildcard','starts_with', 'ends_with', 'equals')
                 
            ))
    ;
}

In the controller add call to the multi search service:

public function indexAction(Request $request)
{
    $search = $request->get('search');
    $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
    $queryBuilder = $em->getRepository('AppBundle:Post')->createQueryBuilder('e');
    $filterForm = $this->createForm('AppBundle\Form\PostFilterType');

    // Bind values from the request
    $filterForm->handleRequest($request);

    if ($filterForm->isValid()) {
        // Build the query from the given form object
        $queryBuilder = $this->get('petkopara_multi_search.builder')->searchForm($queryBuilder, $filterForm->get('search'));
    }
    
    ..
}

Render your form in the view

{{ form_rest(filterForm) }}

Available Options

The provided type has 2 options:

search_fields - array of the entity columns that will be added in the search. If it's not set then will search in all columns
search_comparison_type - how to compare the search term.
- wildcard - it's equivalent to the %search% like search.
- equals - like operator without wildcards. Wildcards still can be used with equals if the search term contains *.
- starts_with - it's equivalent to the %search like search.
- ends_with - it's equivalent to the search% like search.

These parameters can be applyed to the service as well as 4th and 5th parameter to searchEntity() method
