Athenaeum Filters

Offers a way to create search and constraint query filters, based on received http query parameters, for your Laravel application.

Example

Your custom filters builder

By extending the BaseBuilder abstraction, you can encapsulate a custom filters builder. Whenever a http query parameter is matched, a corresponding "processor" is invoked, which is responsible for creating one or more query filters.

namespace Acme\Filters;

use Aedart\Filters\BaseBuilder;
use Acme\Filters\Processors\MySearchProcessor;
use Acme\Filters\Processors\TextProcessor;
use Acme\Filters\Processors\DateProcessor;
use Acme\Filters\Processors\SortProcessor;

class UserFilterBuilder extends BaseBuilder
{
    public function processors(): array
    {
        // Key = http query parameter, value = parameter processor...
        return [
            'search' => MySearchProcessor::make(),
            
            'name' => TextProcessor::make(),
            
            'created_at' => DateProcessor::make(),
            
            'sort' => SortProcessor::make()
                ->force(),
            
            // ...etc
        ];
    }
}

In your request

To use your custom filters builder, create a new instance in your request, e.g. in the after validation hook.

namespace Acme\Requests;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;
use Aedart\Contracts\Filters\BuiltFiltersMap;
use Acme\Filters\UserFilterBuilder;

class ListUsersRequest exends FormRequest
{
    public ?BuiltFiltersMap $filters = null;

    public function after(Validator $validator)
    {        
        // Add filters using your custom builder
        $this->filters = UserFilterBuilder::make($this)
            ->build();
    }

    // ... remaining not shown ...
}

In your controller

Lastly, apply the filters directly on your model.

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Models\User;
use Acme\Requests\ListUsersRequest;

class UsersController extends Controller
{
    public function index(ListUsersRequest $request)
    {
        // Apply all requested filters...
        return User::applyFilters($request->filters->all())
            ->paginate(10);
        );
    }
}
