README

A powerful and flexible search trait for Laravel Eloquent models that makes implementing search functionality a breeze.

Features

• Simple and intuitive API
• Configurable search behavior
• Support for related model searching
• Case-sensitive/insensitive search options
• Multiple search operators support
• Minimum search term length configuration
• Default search columns configuration

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require hamzaejaz/laravel-searchable-scope

The package will automatically register its service provider.

Configuration

Publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="HamzaEjaz\SearchableScope\SearchableScopeServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This will create a config/searchable-scope.php file where you can modify the default settings.

Usage

Basic Usage

Add the trait to your model:

use HamzaEjaz\SearchableScope\Traits\Searchable;

class User extends Model
{
    use Searchable;
}

Then you can search like this:

// Search in all default columns
User::search('john')->get();

// Search in specific columns
User::search('john', ['name', 'email'])->get();

// Search in related models
User::search('john', [], ['posts' => ['title', 'content']])->get();

Advanced Usage

You can define default searchable columns and relations in your model:

class User extends Model
{
    use Searchable;

    protected $searchable = [
        'columns' => ['name', 'email', 'username'],
        'relations' => [
            'posts' => ['title', 'content'],
            'profile' => ['bio', 'location']
        ]
    ];
}

Now you can simply call:

User::search('john')->get();

Configuration Options

The package comes with several configuration options in config/searchable-scope.php:

• default_operator: The default search operator (LIKE, =, >, <, >=, <=)
• case_sensitive: Whether the search should be case sensitive
• default_columns: Default columns to search if none specified
• min_term_length: Minimum length of search term before search is performed
