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

Installation
------------

[](#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
-----

[](#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](https://laravel.com/docs/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.

[](#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.

[](#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.

[](#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

[](#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.

[](#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.

[](#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'],
 ];
```
