I have this method which I use to filter result sets based upon a search query. As you can see, it will get the Fillable elements from a model and search against those (possibly not that efficient, but it works and it's quite quick).
public static function searchAgainstFillable(&$query, $options, $useRelations = null){
// Get a list of fillable fields from the model
if($query->first() != null){
if(!$useRelations){
$fillables = $query->first()->getFillable();
// We could throw an exception here - but just in case oddities have occurred its
// probably best to just ignore an empty search term.
if(isset($options['search'])){
$results = $query->filter(function($setting) use($options, $query, $fillables){
foreach($fillables as $field){
if(stripos($setting->{$field}, $options['search']) !== false){
return true;
}
}
});
}
// Finally we want to overwrite the results passed in with the newly
// filtered results, ready to be presented in the response
$query = $results;
}
}
Unfortunately, I've since discovered that when using models that have many layers, this code will only work against the base table and not any other relations. Is there a way I can do this, without running a foreach against every relational layer manually? Below is a snippet of my query.
{
"id": 1,

}
],

"survey_request_id": 9,

"score": 8,

"survey_requests": null
}
]
}
Ideally, I want to be able to search against every model that's matched and against any fillable field they may contain.
