README
A package to filter laravel model based on query params or retrived model collection.
Installation
Require/Install the package using composer:
composer require touhidurabir/laravel-filterable
To publish the config file:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Touhidurabir\Filterable\FilterableServiceProvider" --tag=config
Configuration
The package comes with a configuration file named filterable that has to 2 important configs
Base Filter Class
This is a array that contains the base filter class for both the Query and Collection filter as :
'base_class' => [ 'query' => \Touhidurabir\Filterable\Bases\BaseQueryFilter::class, 'collection' => \Touhidurabir\Filterable\Bases\BaseCollectionFilter::class, ],
If one need to even extend it to add more functionality or any custom feaure, can do it and set the base class in the config file .
Filter Class Namespace
This config define what would be the default namespace(and the store path) of the generated filter classes for the both the Query and Collection filter classes as :
'filterable_namespace' => [ 'query' => 'App\\QueryFilters', 'collection' => 'App\\CollectionFilters', ],
If needed to, one can change the default path from there . but it is also possible to pass a different namespace to the filter generate command to provide a different namespace.
Command
This package includes a handly command to generate filter classes as
php artisan make:filter User
It will generate 2 class UserQueryFilter and UserCollectionFilter as per defined namespace in the config file .
This command also includes several handful options to make the filer class generation as flexiable as possible such as
--filters=
By passign comma separated filters, it will put those filters as filterable method in both the query and collection filter class as :
php artisan make:filter User --filter=name,email
For Query FIlter :
public function name($value) { // return $this->builder->; } public function email($value) { // return $this->builder->; }
For Collection Filter :
public function name($item, $value) { } public function email($item, $value) { }
--query-suffix=QueryFilter
Define what would be query filter class file name and class name suffix .
--collection-suffix=CollectionFilter
Define what would be collection filter class file name and class name suffix .
--no-suffix
If passed as switch option or flag, no suffix will be added to query or collection filter class names or files name.
--only-query
If passed as switch option or flag, will only generate the query filters and omit the collection filter class.
--only-collection
If passed as switch option or flag, will only generate the collection filters and omit the query filter class.
--replace
If passed as switch option or flag, will replace the existing file. By defalt if a given file already present, it will not replace it .
Usage
Generate the filters as
php artisan make:filter User --filter=name,email
it will generate UserQueryFilter.php and UserCollectionFilter.php class at the given path as :
<?php namespace App\QueryFilters; use Touhidurabir\Filterable\Bases\BaseQueryFilter; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder; class UserQueryFilter extends BaseQueryFilter { /** * Retrieve the rules to validate filters value. * If a filter validation fails, the filter is not applied. * * @return array */ protected function getRules() { return []; } /** * Filter by request param name * * @param mixed $value * @return object<\Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder> */ public function name($value) { // return $this->builder->; } /** * Filter by request param email * * @param mixed $value * @return object<\Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder> */ public function email($value) { // return $this->builder->; } }
<?php namespace App\CollectionFilters; use Throwable; use Touhidurabir\Filterable\Bases\BaseCollectionFilter; use Illuminate\Support\Collection; class UserCollectionFilter extends BaseCollectionFilter { /** * Retrieve the rules to validate filters value. * If a filter validation fails, the filter is not applied. * * @return array */ protected function getRules() { return []; } /** * Filter by name * * @param object $item * @param mixed $value * * @return */ public function name($item, $value) { // return } /** * Filter by email * * @param object $item * @param mixed $value * * @return */ public function email($item, $value) { // return } }
and the use the Filterable trait in the model as
use Touhidurabir\Filterable\Filterable; class User extends Model { use Filterable; }
The form some controller, use it as such
namespace App\Http\Controllers; use App\Http\Controllers\Controller; use App\QueryFilters\UserQueryFilters; use App\CollectionFilter\UserCollectionFilter; class UserController extends Controller { public function index(Request $request) { $users = User::filter(new UserQueryFilter($request))->get(); // or filter a collection as $users = (new UserCollectionFilter)->filter(User::all(), ['email', 'name']); // of pass $request in constructor for collection filter $users = (new UserCollectionFilter($request))->filter(User::all()); } }
Also possible to use an existing array to pass as query to initiate the filter class as
UserQueryFilter::hydrate([]); UserCollection::applyFilter(User::all() ,[]);
Note that it's not required to pass the $request as if not passed , it will resolve it from the Request Facade . Useful for case like when app running on laravel octane.
It can also handle the filter param validation as :
protected function getRules() { return []; }
Set the validation rules there and those params that do not pass the validation will not be applied.
WHY a Collection Filter ?
It is a valid question why a collection filter as most of the time a query filter is sufficient. But some times a collection filter can be helpful to do some custom filter again after records are pull from DB. As this package allow to generate seperate collection filter, in those cases it can be helpful to such cause .
