Awesome and simple way to filter Monolog/Eloquent queries right from the API call url

Installation

composer require arielsand/mongodb-eloquent-api-filter-mapping

Usage Example

Using the Trait

class UserController extends Controller
{  
    
    use Arielsand\MoloquentApiFilter\Traits\FiltersMoloquentApi;
    
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        $users = User::query();
        
        return $this->filterApiRequest($request, $users);
    }
}

Using the Class

use Arielsand\MoloquentApiFilter\MoloquentApiFilter;

class UserController extends Controller
{    
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        $query = User::query();
        
        $filtered = (new MoloquentApiFilter($request, $query))->filter(['value' => 'address'], true);
        
        return $filtered->get();
    }
}

Documentation

New in v1.1

Chain multiple queries by and/or:

.../model?filter[field]=like:*val1:and:like:val2*:or:null

will result in:

SELECT * FROM models 
WHERE (
            field LIKE '%val1' 
        AND field LIKE 'val2%'
      )
      OR field IS NULL 

Added Trait

You can now use Matthenning\EloquentApiFilter\Traits\FiltersEloquentApi to simply filter your requests with

$this->filterApiRequest($request, $query);

URL Syntax

.../model?filter[field]=operator:comparison

.../model?filter[field]=operator

Operators:

like, notlike, today (for timestamps), nottoday (for timestamps), null, notnull, ge (greater or equal), gt (greater), le (lower or equal), lt (lower), eq (equal)

Example queries

Matches all entities where name starts with Rob and deceased is null:

.../users?filter[name]=like:Rob*&filter[deceased]=null:

Multiple filters on one field can be chained. Matches all entities where created_at is between 2016-12-10 and 2016-12-08:

.../users?filter[created_at]=lt:2016-12-10:and:gt:2016-12-08

Filter by related models' fields by using the dot-notaion. Matches all Posts of Users where Post name contains "API"

.../users?filter[posts.name]=like:*API*

Filter timestamps. Matches all users whos' birthdays are today

.../users?filter[birthday]=today

Limit and sorting. Matches the top 10 users with age of 21 or older sorted by name in ascending order

.../users?filter[age]=ge:21&order[name]=asc&limit=10

Known issues

• Sorting by related fields doesn't work yet.
