Laravel Model Query

Advanced laravel dynamic model queries

Installation

Install this package with composer

composer require rasyidly/laravel-model-query

Usage

There are several features including this package. To use all features, use this as trait as following example.

use Rasyidly/ModelQuery/ModelQuery;

class User extends Model
{
    /**
     * This will load Loadable, Searchable, Sortable, and Trashable Traits in single load.
     */
    use ModelQuery;
}

OR, manually use single feature as trait

Just use feature/s as a trait to your Model, e.g.:

use Rasyidly/ModelQuery/Loadable/Loadable;
use Rasyidly/ModelQuery/Searchable/Searchable;

class User extends Model
{
    use Loadable, Searchable;
}

Features

There are main feature of this package features and how-to-use.

📃 Loadable

Loadable is a trait that functions to load eloquent relations based on the $loadable property defined in the Model, like this:

class Post extends Model
{
    use ModelQuery;

    public $loadable = [
        'author.profile', 'commentable'
    ];

    public function author (): BelongsTo { ... }
}

If the relationship is not found in the definition, it will not give an error. Unless you give the wrong definition of the relationship, it is fatal.

Then, for use in the Controller, as follows:

Eager loading

// posts?load=author,commentable

$query = ['author', 'commentable'];

$posts = Post::loadable($request->query('load'))->get();

This will produce a collection/object of Post with the relations author and commentable by eager loading. Make sure the query is separated with comma if load more than one relation, so that loadable accepts array parameters according to Loadable's terms.

Lazy loading

It's the same, the only difference is that it will be loaded when it becomes an object (not a query builder a.k.a. n+1)

// posts?load=author.profile

$post = Post::find(1);

$query = ['author.profile'];
$post = $post->loadable($request->query('load'));

This will load the author.profile relation as per the $loadable definition.

📃 Searchable

Searchable is a trait that functions to search for specific text based on the $searchable property defined in the Model, like this:

class Post extends Model
{
    use ModelQuery;

    public $searchable = [
        'title', 'description', 'author.name'
    ];

    public function author (): BelongsTo { ... }
}

With this searchable definition, in sequence, it will search for a collection of Posts where title like % ... %, and so on. You can also use a relationship like the example above, author.name, meaning it will look for name in the author relationship

Then, for use in the Controller, as follows:

// posts?search=Hello

$posts = Post::searchable($request->query('search'))->get();

The result of the syntax above is to search for posts in the column defined by $searchable, in this case it will search like "%Hello%" in the title or description column or name in the author relationship

📃 Sortable

The sortable feature is a method for sorting by columns defined in the $sortable property, with the addition of ,asc or ,desc.

class Post extends Model
{
    use ModelQuery;

    public $sortable = [
        'name'
    ];
}

An example of implementation in the Controller is as follows:

// posts?sort=name,asc

$posts = Post::sortable($request->query('sort'))->get();

Basically, sortable is exactly like Laravel's built-in orderBy method, only I combine the sorting method, whether ascending or descending. This trait only accepts two ascending or descending parameters, otherwise it will ignore this method, no error will be displayed.

📃 Trashable

This trait only works if the Model uses SoftDeletes

There are no additional special properties like in the previous trait. This will only add a special method namely trashable($default = 'without') which only accepts 3 parameters namely with, only, and without.

The implementation is as follows:

// posts?trash=only

$posts = Post::trashable($request->query('trash'))->get();

The result of the query and syntax is that it will only call onlyTrashed from Laravel SoftDeletes.
