🧱 Usage

1. Create a Filter

2. Define the logic

// app/Filters/StatusFilter.php
use Alif\QueryFilter\Contracts\Filter;

class StatusFilter implements Filter
{
    public function handle(Builder $query, $value, Closure $next)
    {
        if ($value) {
            $query->where('status', $value);
        }

        return $next($query);
    }
}

3. Use in your model or controller

use Alif\QueryFilter\QueryFilter;

$filtered = Post::filter(QueryFilter::make([
    'status' => request('status'),
    'sort' => request('sort'),
]))->get();

🌐 Example Query
