Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

Api Query Builder allows for complex filtering, sorting via an api endpoint.

It is intended to be part of a larger package that also provides full CRUD abilities for a Laravel API.

Full documentation is available [here](https://laravel-restive.github.io/restive-docs)

but see examples below for an idea of what the package provides.

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

[](#installation)

There is no current release so to install you will need to do

`composer require laravel-restive/restive dev-master`

Filtering
---------

[](#filtering)

Examples

```
where[]=id:eq:1

whereIn[]=id:(1,2,3)

whereBetween[]=age:18,45

```

Sorting
-------

[](#sorting)

```
sort[]=id,-name

```

would sort ascending on id, the sort descending on name

Columns
-------

[](#columns)

By default queries will return all columns

You can restrict columns using

```
columns[]=id,name

```

Lots More
---------

[](#lots-more)

Lots more filtering options are available. see the [Documentation](https://laravel-restive.github.io/restive-docs)
