README

A Laravel package that converts complex REST API filter/sort requests into Eloquent queries, with schema-based validation and authorization.

Features

• Schema-driven: define entity structures and access control via JSON schemas
• Complex filtering: conditions, groups (AND/OR), relationship existence, morph relations, scopes
• Sorting: multi-column, through relationships, with aggregation functions
• Validation & authorization: requests are checked against entity and request schemas
• Schema generation: auto-generate schemas from Eloquent models
• i18n: validation messages translated in 10 languages

Installation

composer require comhon-project/laravel-entity-requester

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="entity-requester-config"

Quick start

Generate schemas from your model:

php artisan entity-requester:make-model-schema App\\Models\\User --filtrable=all --sortable=attributes

Build a query from a request:

use Comhon\EntityRequester\Facades\EntityRequestValidator;
use Comhon\EntityRequester\Facades\EloquentBuilderFactory;

$entityRequest = EntityRequestValidator::validate($request->all());
$results = EloquentBuilderFactory::fromEntityRequest($entityRequest)->get();

// Or directly from inputs (skips authorization, use only with trusted sources)
$results = EloquentBuilderFactory::fromInputs($request->all())->get();
