Laravel QueryBuilder for jQuery Query Builder

jQuery Query Builder

this package is to build query form jQuery Query Builder library, it works with laravel models, and it uses the model relations. Also it hide your table structure, so you dont need to name the filters as your table columns

Structure

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require hassanalisalem/querybuilder

Usage

in your controller or whatever place you are building your query

use hassanalisalem\querybuilder\Query;
...
...

$model = new User();
$rules = $request->rules; // rules from the jQuery query builder form.
$query = Query::build($model, $rules);
// you can use it as: $query->get() to get the query result
// or to check the query string: $query->toSql()

in the model

you should define a public array variable named filterable. This should contain all your filters as filter id or key (from the jquery query builder filters) => filter value.

incase of ambiguous key you can add "as". so if I have table named industries and I want to query whereIn('id', [])... so the key should be 'filter_name_industries' => 'industries.id as industries'

public $filterable = [
    'filter_name' => 'this.name',
    'filter_user_post_title' => 'posts.title',
    'filter_user_post_comment' => 'posts.comments.text',
    'filter_industry' => 'industries.id as industries', // if there is ambiguous key.
    // it is recommended to prepend the key with 'filter_'
];

this means that the name source is the model itself. posts means that the title is from another relation named posts (posts) should be a function in the model that returns a relation.. also comments is a function in Post that returns a relation..
