Filter and Search Eloquent Models with the Model Filter Package

Published on by

Filter and Search Eloquent Models with the Model Filter Package image

Laravel Model Filter offers a simple way to filter and search eloquent models by array parameters and query strings.

Here's a simple example to illustrate exactly how this package works. Given the following filter, you can generate with the provided make:filter command:

namespace App\Models\Filters;
 
use Lacodix\LaravelModelFilter\Filters\DateFilter;
 
class CreatedAfterFilter extends DateFilter
{
public FilterMode $mode = FilterMode::GREATER_OR_EQUAL;
 
protected string $field = 'created_at';
}

You can apply the CreatedAfterFilter on a model like the following example:

namespace App\Models;
 
use App\Models\Filters\CreatedAfterFilter;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Lacodix\LaravelModelFilter\Traits\HasFilters;
 
class Post extends Model
{
use HasFilters;
 
protected array $filters = [
CreatedAfterFilter::class,
];
}

You can then trigger the filter either programmatically or via query string:

Post::filter(['created_after_filter' => '2023-01-01'])->get();
 
// Multiple filters
Post::filter([
'created_after_filter' => '2023-01-01',
'published_filter' => true,
])->get();
 
// Or by query string: /posts?created_after_filter=2023-01-01
Post::filterByQueryString()->get();

This package includes many features related to filtering models, such as:

  • Group filtering
  • Filter validation
  • Sorting
  • Searching
  • Date filter type
  • String filter type
  • Select filter type
  • Numeric filter type
  • Boolean filter type
  • Trashed filter type
  • Filtering on relations
  • And more

To get started with this package, check out the official documentation; the source code is also on GitHub at lacodix/laravel-model-filter.
