Query Shorter is a laravel package where it shorts the 50% query of your Eloquent query. Sometimes our queries get too long like nested queries, conditional queries so this package creates shorter query for you.
This is a small package to easy and simplify your code.
composer require skycoder/query-shorter<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Skycoder\QueryShorter\QueryShorter;
class Employee extends Model
{
use QueryShorter;
}Before Using Query Shorter
$employees = Employee::query()
->when($request->filled('name'), function($q) use($request) {
$q->where('name', 'like', '%' . $request->name . '%');
})
->when($request->filled('department_id'), function($q) use($request) {
$q->where('name', $request->department_id);
})
->when($request->filled('designation_id'), function($q) use($request) {
$q->where('designation_id', '!=', $request->designation_id);
})
->when($request->filled('age'), function($q) use($request) {
$q->where('age', '<', $request->age);
})
->when($request->filled('from_date'), function($q) use($request) {
$q->where('joining_date', '>=', $request->from_date);
})
->when($request->filled('to_date'), function($q) use($request) {
$q->where('joining_date', '<=', $request->to_date);
})
->when($request->filled('from_retirement_date'), function($q) use($request) {
$q->where('retirement_date', '>=', $request->from_retirement_date);
})
->when($request->filled('to_retirement_date'), function($q) use($request) {
$q->where('retirement_date', '<=', $request->to_retirement_date);
})
->when(request()->filled('from'), function($qr) use($request) {
$qr->where('date', '>=', $request->from);
})
->when(request()->filled('to'), function($qr) use($request) {
$qr->where('date', '<=', $request->to);
})
->when($request->filled('division'), function($q) use($request) {
$q->whereHas('contact_info', function($qr) use($request) {
$qr->where('division', $request->division);
});
})
->withCount(['employee_type as employee_type_name' => function($q) {
$q->select(DB::raw('name'));
}])
->latest()
->get();After Using Query Shorter
$employees = Employee::query()
->likeSearch('name')
->searchByField('department_id') // check if the request has `department_id` value then we query
->searchByField('designation_id', "!=")
->searchByField('age', "<")
->searchDateFrom('joining_date') // `joining_date` is database field and `from_date` from request
->searchDateTo('joining_date') // `joining_date` is database field and `to_date` from request
->searchDateFrom('retirement_date', 'from_retirement_date') // `retirement_date` is database field and `from_retirement_date` from request
->searchDateTo('retirement_date', 'to_retirement_date') // `retirement_date` is database field and `to_retirement_date` from request
->dateFilter()
->searchFromRelation('contact_info', 'division')
