Advanced Eloquent Model Filters

Advanced Laravel Model Filters is a package that gives you fine-grained control and reusable classes you can use to filter Eloquent models. The readme has an example where perhaps you'd like to filter by the name column:

$filters = EloquentFilters::make([
    new NameFilter($request->name)
]);
 
$products = Product::filter($filters)->get();

The NameFilter class is a reusable filter you can reuse wherever you need to filter by name:

use Pricecurrent\LaravelEloquentFilters\AbstractEloquentFilter;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;
 
class NameFilter extends AbstractEloquentFilter
{
    protected $name;
 
    public function __construct($name)
    {
        $this->name = $name;
    }
 
    public function apply(Builder $builder): Builder
    {
        return $query->where('name', 'like', "{$this->name}%");
    }
}

The NameFilter is now reusable, as shown in the following example being used in tandem with the User model. This code example also demonstrates how you can chain methods on filter() as if it was an Eloquent builder instance:

$filters = EloquentFilters::make([
    new NameFilter($request->user_name)
]);
 
$products = User::query()
    ->filter($filters)
    ->limit(10)
    ->latest()
    ->get();
