If I'm understanding correctly you should be able to leave that as is and it should work. The $relations
array will forward the user_search
parameter to search
in the UserFilter
and then you can add methods locally on AnotherEntity
model to filter on AnotherEntity
.
I'd like to have filter like this one
public $relations = [
'order.user' => [
'user_search' => 'search',
]
];
public function search($search)
{
//so here I need somehow to combine 'user_search' and another additional filter by own field or even another relation
return $this->userSearch($search)
->name($search); //name of AnotherEntity
}
public function name($search)
{
return $q->where('name', 'LIKE', "%$name%");
}
and ofcourse conditions must be connected with OR operator
So this is kind of tricky in the filter because when using the $relations
array or related
method they both collect all calls to each related entity and nest all those in one root level whereHas
query so combining either of those methods with an or
could potentially lead to unexpected behavior when adding more parameters that would chain with and
queries.
I would suggest to not use the $relations
array or related()
method for this use case and use a nested where
query where you can join with an or
.
So, given the query to AnotherEntity
:
AnotherEntity::filter([
'search' => 'some_string',
'user_search' => 'user_string'
])
->get()
And the AnotherEntityModelFilter
to search both strings with an OR
condition:
public function search($search)
{
return $this->where(function($query) {
$query->whereHas('order.users', function($q) {
// $q is an instance of the User query builder
// so it has access to the UserModelFilter
// allowing us to call `filter` on it
$q->filter([
'search' => $this->input('user_search')
]);
})
->whereLike('name', $search, 'or');
});
}
thanks, will try your solution. @Tucker-Eric
Hi, can you help with such issue, assume that we have some entity i.e. User, it has relation hasMany Orders, order belongs to some AnotherEntity. So I need to filter AnotherEntity by user's name, email, phone and also by AnotherEntity's field (i.e. name).
