Tweak Filter Behaviour
Sometimes you don't need a direct match between filter values and database. For example if you want a SelectFilter for Verified and Unverified users, but the database doesn't contain a bool or string-value but kind of an email_verified_at date field that implicit means a user is verified if this field is not null.
You can extend the available filters with own query logic. First create a SelectFilter as usual.
php artisan make:filter UserVerified -t select -f email_verified_at
Then add option values like usual and additionally extend the filters query function
<?php
namespace App\Models\Filters;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;
use Lacodix\LaravelModelFilter\Filters\SelectFilter;
class UserVerifiedFilter extends SelectFilter
{
protected string $field = 'email_verified_at';
public function options(): array
{
return [
'verified',
'unverified',
];
}
public function apply(Builder $query): Builder
{
return match($this->values[$this->field]) {
'verified' => $query->whereNotNull($this->field),
'unverified' => $query->whereNull($this->field),
default => $query,
};
}
}
