This package allows you to build eloquent queries, based on request parameters. It greatly reduces the complexity of the queries and conditions, which will make your code clean and maintainable.
Laravel | EloquentBuilder |
---|---|
10.0.x | 4.2.x |
9.0.x | 4.0.x |
6.0.x to 8.0.x | 3.0.x |
5.0.x | 2.2.2 |
Suppose you want to get the list of the users with the requested parameters as follows:
//Get api/user/search?age_more_than=25&gender=male&has_published_post=true
[
'age_more_than' => '25',
'gender' => 'male',
'has_published_post' => true,
]
In a common implementation, following code will be expected:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class UserController extends Controller
{
public function index(Request $request)
{
$users = User::where('is_active', true);
if ($request->has('age_more_than')) {
$users->where('age', '>', $request->age_more_than);
}
if ($request->has('gender')) {
$users->where('gender', $request->gender);
}
// A User model may have an infinite numbers of Post(One-To-Many).
if ($request->has('has_published_post')) {
$users->where(function ($query) use ($request) {
$query->whereHas('posts', function ($query) use ($request) {
$query->where('is_published', $request->has_published_post);
});
});
}
return $users->get();
}
}
But after using the EloquentBuilder, the above code will turns into this:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\User;
use EloquentBuilder;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class UserController extends Controller
{
public function index(Request $request)
{
return EloquentBuilder::model(User::class)
->filters($request->all())
->thenApply()
->get();
}
}
You just need to define a filter for each parameter that you want to add to the query.
You can install the package via composer:
composer require mohammad-fouladgar/eloquent-builder
Warning: The
Lumen
framework is no longer supported!
The default namespace for all filters is App\EloquentFilters
with the base name of the Model. For example, the
filters' namespace will be App\EloquentFilters\User
for the User
model:
├── app
├── Console
│ └── Kernel.php
├── EloquentFilters
│ └── User
│ ├── AgeMoreThanFilter.php
│ └── GenderFilter.php
└── Exceptions
└── Handler.php
You can optionally publish the config file with:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Fouladgar\EloquentBuilder\ServiceProvider" --tag="config"
And set the namespace for your model filters which will reside in:
return [
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Eloquent Filter Settings
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here you should specify default all you Eloquent Model Filters.
|
*/
'namespace' => 'App\\EloquentFilters\\',
];
Writing a filter is simple. Define a class that extends
the Fouladgar\EloquentBuilder\Support\Foundation\Contracts\Filter
abstract class. This class requires you to implement
one method: apply
. The apply
method may add where constraints to the query as needed. Each filter class should
be suffixed with the word Filter
.
For example, take a look at the filter defined below:
<?php
namespace App\EloquentFilters\User;
use Fouladgar\EloquentBuilder\Support\Foundation\Contracts\Filter;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;
class AgeMoreThanFilter extends Filter
{
/**
* Apply the age condition to the query.
*/
public function apply(Builder $builder, mixed $value): Builder
{
return $builder->where('age', '>', $value);
}
}
Tip: Also, you can easily use local scopes in your filter. Because, they are instancing of the query builder.
If you want to create a filter easily, you can use eloquent-builder:make
artisan command. This command will accept at
least two arguments which are Model
and Filter
:
php artisan eloquent-builder:make user age_more_than
There is also a possibility of creating multiple filters at the same time. To achieve this goal, you should pass
multiple names to Filter
argument:
php artisan eloquent-builder:make user age_more_than gender
You can use filters in multiple approaches:
<?php
// Use by a model class name
// Note: This method is deprecated.
$users = EloquentBuilder::to(\App\Models\User::class, request()->all())->get();
// Use by existing query
$query = \App\Models\User::where('is_active', true);
$users = EloquentBuilder::model($query)
->filters(request()->all())
->thenApply()
->where('city', 'london')
->get();
// Use by instance of a model and push filter
$users = EloquentBuilder::model(new \App\Models\User())
->filters(request()->filter)
->filter(['age_more_than' => '30'])
->filter(['gender' => 'female'])
->thenApply()
->get();
Tip: It's recommended to put your query params inside a filter key as below:
user/search?filter[age_more_than]=25&filter[gender]=male
And then use them this way: request()->filter
.
This package provides several predefined filters using string conventions, so you can use them in your filter classes easily.
Tip: All value(s) in string conventions will be validated according to the used filter.
Date filtering is one of the most commonly used filters that you may use in your filters by following these
conventions: between:date1,date2
,before:date
, before_or_equal:date
, after:date
, after_or_equal:date
, same:date
, and equals:date
.
Examples:
api/user/search?birth_date=before:2018-01-01
# These are similar between convention:
api/user/search?birth_date=between:2018-01-01,2022-01-01
api/article/search?birth_date=2018-01-01,2022-01-01
api/article/search?birth_date[]=2018-01-01&birth_date[]=2022-01-01
# These are similar equals convention:
api/user/search?birth_date=equals:2018-01-01
api/user/search?birth_date=same:2018-01-01
api/user/search?birth_date=2018-01-01
All you need is to define a filter and use the Fouladgar\EloquentBuilder\Concerns\FiltersDatesTrait
trait. For
example:
<?php
namespace App\EloquentFilters\User;
use Fouladgar\EloquentBuilder\Concerns\FiltersDatesTrait;
use Fouladgar\EloquentBuilder\Support\Foundation\Contracts\Filter;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;
class BirthDateFilter extends Filter
{
use FiltersDatesTrait;
public function apply(Builder $builder, mixed $value): Builder
{
return $this->filterDate($builder, $value, 'birth_date');
}
}
Another predefined filters is Number filters that you can use in your filters. For example, it would be useful for price
filter,score filters, and any numeric filters. You can follow these numeric conventions:
between:number1,number2
,gt:number
,gte:number
,lt:number
,lte:number
, and equals:number
.
Examples:
api/user/search?score=gte:500
# These are similar between convention:
api/user/search?score=between:100,1010
api/article/search?score=100,1010
api/article/search?score[]=100&score[]=1010
# These are similar equals convention:
api/user/search?score=equals:2222
api/user/search?score=2222
For example, make a ScoreFilter
and use Fouladgar\EloquentBuilder\Concerns\FiltersNumbersTrait
trait as below:
<?php
namespace App\EloquentFilters\User;
use Fouladgar\EloquentBuilder\Concerns\FiltersNumbersTrait;
use Fouladgar\EloquentBuilder\Support\Foundation\Contracts\Filter;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;
class ScoreFilter extends Filter
{
use FiltersNumbersTrait;
public function apply(Builder $builder, mixed $value): Builder
{
return $this->filterNumber($builder, $value, 'score');
}
}
You may want to sort your query filter. There are some usage to make it:
Examples:
api/user/search?sort_by[birth_date]=desc&sort_by[id]=asc
api/user/search?sort_by[]=birth_date:desc&sort_by[]=id:asc
# The default direction is `asc`:
api/user/search?sort_by[]=birth_date
For example make a SortByFilter
and use the Fouladgar\EloquentBuilder\Concerns\SortableTrait
trait.
<?php
namespace App\EloquentBuilders\User;
use Fouladgar\EloquentBuilder\Concerns\SortableTrait;
use Fouladgar\EloquentBuilder\Support\Foundation\Contracts\Filter;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;
class SortByFilter extends Filter
{
use SortableTrait;
protected array $sortable = [
'birth_date', 'score',
];
public function apply(Builder $builder, mixed $value): Builder
{
return $this->applySort($builder, $value);
}
}
Tip: The sortable column(s) should be specified by
$sortable
attribute.
The filter class also contains an authorize
method. Within this method, you may check if the authenticated user
actually has the authority to apply a given filter. For example, you may determine if a user has a premium account, can
apply the StatusFilter
to get listing the online or offline people:
/**
* Determine if the user is authorized to make this filter.
*/
public function authorize(): bool
{
if(auth()->user()->hasPremiumAccount()){
return true;
}
return false;
}
By default, you do not need to implement the authorize
method and the filter applies to your query builder. If
the authorize
method returns false
, a HTTP response with a 403 status code will automatically be returned.
Filter parameters are ignored if contain empty or null values.
Suppose you have a request something like this:
//Get api/user/search?filter[name]&filter[gender]=null&filter[age_more_than]=''&filter[published_post]=true
EloquentBuilder::model(User::class)->filters($request->filter)->thenApply();
// filters result will be:
$filters = [
'published_post' => true
];
Only the "published_post" filter will be applied on your query.
When you have a laravel project with custom directory structure, you might need to have multiple filters in multiple
directories. For this purpose, you can use setFilterNamespace()
method and pass the desired namespace to it.
For example, let's assume you have a project which implement a domain based structure:
.
├── app
├── bootstrap
├── config
├── database
├── Domains
│ ├── Store
│ │ ├── database
│ │ │ └── migrations
│ │ ├── src
│ │ ├── Filters // We put our Store domain filters here!
│ │ │ └── StoreFilter.php
│ │ ├── Entities
│ │ ├── Http
│ │ └── Controllers
│ │ ├── routes
│ │ └── Services
│ ├── User
│ │ ├── database
│ │ │ └── migrations
│ │ ├── src
│ │ ├── Filters // We put our User domain filters here!
│ │ │ └── UserFilter.php
│ │ ├── Entities
│ │ ├── Http
│ │ └── Controllers
│ │ ├── routes
│ │ └── Services
...
In the above example, each domain has its own filters directory. So we can set and use filters custom namespace as following:
$stores = EloquentBuilder::model(\Domains\Entities\Store::class)
->filters($request->all())
->setFilterNamespace('Domains\\Store\\Filters')
->thenApply()
->get();
Note: When using
setFilterNamespace()
, default namespace and config file will be ignored.
You may need to use the EloquentBuilder
as DependencyInjection
in a construct
or a function
method.
Suppose you have an UserController
and you want get a list of the users with applying some filters on them:
<?php
namespace App\Controllers;
use App\Http\Resources\UserResource;
use App\Models\User;
use Fouladgar\EloquentBuilder\EloquentBuilder as Builder;
use Fouladgar\EloquentBuilder\Exceptions\FilterException;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class UserController
{
public function index(Request $request, User $user, Builder $builder)
{
$users = $user->newQuery()->where('is_active', true);
try {
$builder->model($users)
->filters($request->filter)
->thenApply();
} catch (FilterException $filterException) {
//...
}
return UserResource::collection($users->get());
}
}
That's it.
