README
An Eloquent scope for building a search query using LIKE statements, which also supports searching using relations.
$foundPosts = Post::query() ->search($search) ->get();
Installation
composer require baethon/eloquent-searchable-scope
Model configuration
Import Searchable
trait and use it in model:
namespace App\Models; use Baethon\Laravel\Scopes\Searchable; class Post extends Model { use Searchable; }
Trait requires defining the getSearchableOptions()
method:
namespace App\Models; use Baethon\Laravel\Scopes\Searchable; use Baethon\Laravel\Scopes\SearchableOptions; class Post extends Model { use Searchable; public function getSearchableOptions(): SearchableOptions { return SearchableOptions::defaults() ->fields(['topic', 'text', 'user.email']; } }
Note: user.email
refers to user
relation. It has to be defined in the model.
Available Options
The SearchableOptions
provides the ability to customize the search functionality in a few ways:
breakToWords()
- splits the search term into words and searches against each of them.minTermLength(int $minLength)
- rejects any string/word that is shorter than the specified number of characters.fields(array $fields)
- specifies the fields to be used in the search.
The SearchableOptions::defaults()
is equivalent of:
(new SearchableOptions)->minTermLength(3);
Overloading search options
When using the search()
scope, it is possible to define the searchable fields.
$foundPosts = Post::query() ->search($search, [ 'title', ]) ->get();
or, pass custom options object:
$foundPosts = Post::query() ->search($search, SearchableOptions::defaults()->fields(['title']) ->get();
If passing a custom options object, ensure that the searchable fields are defined.
Nothing new here!
The idea for this scope has been previously discussed in various places, such as 🔗 here and 🔗 here. However, since it can be difficult to locate these resources every time one needs them, I have created a package that simplifies the installation process. It is important to note that this package does not introduce any novel concepts.
