This package provides a trait that extends the search behaviour of laravel nova resource.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require akki-io/laravel-nova-search

Next, add AkkiIo\LaravelNovaSearch\LaravelNovaSearchable trait to your base resource App\Nova\Resource class.

use AkkiIo\LaravelNovaSearch\LaravelNovaSearchable;

abstract class Resource extends NovaResource
{
    use LaravelNovaSearchable;
    
    // ...
}

Usage

This package DOES NOT have fuzzy matching capabilities. If you are looking for robust fuzzy matching capabilities provided by "real" search engines, you should look into Laravel Scout.

This package adds the following types of search to your laravel nova resource.

Search multiple columns using concatenation.
Search every word in columns.
Search relationship columns.

Search multiple columns using concatenation.

To define which resource fields are searchable, you may assign a two-dimensional array of database columns in the public static $searchConcatenation property of your resource class. Each array in the array are names of columns that are concatenated using whitespace.

/**
 * The columns that should be concatenated and searched.
 *
 * @var array
 */
 public static $searchConcatenation = [
    ['first_name', 'last_name'],
    ['first_name', 'company'],
 ];

Search every word in columns.

To define which resource fields are searchable, you may assign an array of database columns in the public static $searchMatchingAny property of your resource class. Every word in your input is searched for across all these columns.

/**
 * The columns that should be searched for any matching entry.
 *
 * @var array
 */
 public static $searchMatchingAny = [
    'first_name',
    'last_name',
    'email',
 ];

Search relationship columns.

To define which resource fields are searchable, you may assign an array of database columns in the public static $searchRelations property of your resource class. These database columns are from the related table that is used for searching. This array has a relationship name as a key, and an array of columns to search for as a value.

/**
 * The relationship columns that should be searched.
 *
 * @var array
 */
 public static $searchRelations = [
     'posts' => ['title', 'sub_title'],
 ];

Nested relationships

You may search nested relationships using dot notation.

/**
 * The relationship columns that should be searched.
 *
 * @var array
 */
public static $searchRelations = [
    'user.location' => ['state_abbr', 'country_abbr'],
];

Search multiple columns in relationship using concatenation.

To define which resource fields are searchable, you may assign a two-dimensional array of database columns in the public static $searchRelationsConcatenation property of your resource class. Each array in the array are names of columns that are concatenated using whitespace.

/**
 * The relationship columns that should to be concatenated and searched.
 *
 * @var array
 */
 public static $searchRelationsConcatenation = [
    'user' => [
        ['first_name', 'last_name'],
        ['email']
    ],
 ];

Search every word in columns of a relationship.

To define which resource fields are searchable, you may assign an array of database columns in the public static $searchRelationsMatchingAny property of your resource class. Every word in your input is searched for across all these columns.

/**
 * The relationship columns that should be searched for any matching entry.
 *
 * @var array
 */
 public static $searchRelationsMatchingAny = [
    'user' => ['first_name', 'last_name'],
 ];
