Laravel Order By Field

This package provides a few Laravel Query\Buider marco in order to implement MySQL-like order by filed(...) feature.

Installation

Get the package

composer require mihai-valentin/laravel-order-by-field

Usage

use \Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;

// Order records by a column asc
DB::table('table_name')->orderByField('column', ['first', 'second', 'third']);

// Order records by a column desc
DB::table('table_name')->orderByField('column', ['first', 'second', 'third'], 'desc');
DB::table('table_name')->orderByFieldDesc('column', ['first', 'second', 'third']);

How it works

For the MySQL macro will generate a native order by field(...) expression. For all other drivers order clause will be implemented using case predicate.

Using MySQL

use \Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;

// Before
DB::table('table_name')->orderByRaw("field(`column`, 'first', 'second', 'third')");

// With macro
DB::table('table_name')->orderByField('column', ['first', 'second', 'third']);

Using Postgresql, Sqlite

use \Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;

// Before
DB::table('table_name')->orderByRaw("
    case
        when \"column\"='first' then 1
        when \"column\"='second' then 2
        when \"column\"='third' then 3
        else 0
    end
");

// With macro
DB::table('table_name')->orderByField('column', ['first', 'second', 'third']);

PhpStorm autocomplete

You can create an _ide_helper file to tell your IDE about new methods. The helper file can look like this

<?php

namespace Illuminate\Contracts\Database\Query {
    use MihaiValentin\LaravelOrderByFiled\OrderByFieldServiceProvider;

    /**
     * @method Builder orderByField(string $column, array $order, string $direction = 'asc')
     * @method Builder orderByFieldDesc(string $column, array $order)
     *
     * @see OrderByFieldServiceProvider
     */
    interface Builder {}
}

namespace Illuminate\Database\Eloquent {
    /**
     * @method Builder orderByField(string $column, array $order, string $direction = 'asc')
     * @method Builder orderByFieldDesc(string $column, array $order)
     *
     * @see OrderByFieldServiceProvider
     */
    class Builder implements BuilderContract {}
}
