Laravel Date Filtering Package for Eloquent

This Laravel Date Filtering package aims to simplify date-based filtering for your Laravel Eloquent models. It provides various methods to filter records based on time and date intervals:

use OmarElnaghy\LaraDateFilters\Enums\DateRange;
 
$startDate = Carbon::parse('2023-9-03');
 
// Generic method to filter by various units
Post::filterByDateRange(
    duration: 2,
    dateUnit: 'day',
    date: $startDate,
    direction: 'before', // or `'after'`
    range: DateRange::INCLUSIVE,
)->get();
 
// Helpers for each unit type: second, minute, hour, etc.
Post::filterByDateMinutesRange(
    duration: 2,
    date: $startDate,
    direction: 'after',
    range: DateRange::EXCLUSIVE,
)->get();
 
/*
Post::filterByDateSecondsRange();
Post::filterByDateHoursRange();
Post::filterByDateDaysRange();
Post::filterByDateWeeksRange();
Post::filterByDateMonthsRange();
*/

The setup for this package is defining a custom Eloquent builder that extends the built-in builder with this added functionality. It gives you access to the above filter methods as well as dynamic ranges on the fly using the following conventions:

Post::filterByDate5DayRange($startDate, $direction, $range)->get();
Post::filterByDate6WeekRange($startDate, $direction, $range)->get();
Post::filterByDate7MonthRange($startDate, $direction, $range)->get();
