Build Eloquent queries from API requests

This package allows you to filter, sort and include eloquent relations based on a request. The QueryBuilder used in this package extends Laravel's default Eloquent builder. This means all your favorite methods and macros are still available. Query parameter names follow the JSON API specification as closely as possible.

Basic usage

Filter a query based on a request: /users?filter[name]=John:

use mPhpMaster\BuilderFilter\QueryBuilder;

$users = QueryBuilder::for(User::class)
    ->allowedFilters('name')
    ->get();

// all `User`s that contain the string "John" in their name

Including relations based on a request: /users?include=posts:

$users = QueryBuilder::for(User::class)
    ->allowedIncludes('posts')
    ->get();

// all `User`s with their `posts` loaded

Sorting a query based on a request: /users?sort=id:

$users = QueryBuilder::for(User::class)
    ->allowedSorts('id')
    ->get();

// all `User`s sorted by ascending id

Works together nicely with existing queries:

$query = User::where('active', true);

$userQuery = QueryBuilder::for($query) // start from an existing Builder instance
    ->withTrashed() // use your existing scopes
    ->allowedIncludes('posts', 'permissions')
    ->where('score', '>', 42); // chain on any of Laravel's query builder methods

Selecting fields for a query: /users?fields[users]=id,email

$users = QueryBuilder::for(User::class)
    ->allowedFields(['id', 'email'])
    ->get();

// the fetched `User`s will only have their id & email set

Appending attributes to a query: /users?append=full_name

$users = QueryBuilder::for(User::class)
    ->allowedAppends('full_name')
    ->get()
    ->toJson();

// the resulting JSON will have the `getFullNameAttribute` attributes included
