[](#installation)

[](#using-composer)

Add it to your `config/bundles.php`:

```

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Service

[](#service)

You can inject the service and apply the multi search to any Doctrine query builder.

```
use Sgloe\MultiSearchBundle\Service\MultiSearchBuilderService;

public function __construct(
    private MultiSearchBuilderService $multiSearchBuilder,
    private EntityManagerInterface $entityManager,
) {}

public function index(Request $request): Response
{
    $search = $request->query->get('search');

    $qb = $this->entityManager->getRepository(Post::class)->createQueryBuilder('e');
    $qb = $this->multiSearchBuilder->searchEntity($qb, Post::class, $search);
    //$qb = $this->multiSearchBuilder->searchEntity($qb, Post::class, $search, ['name', 'content'], 'wildcard');

    ..
}

```

### Form

[](#form)

Create your form type and include the multiSearchType in the buildForm function:

```
use Sgloe\MultiSearchBundle\Form\Type\MultiSearchType;

public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options): void
{
    $builder
        ->add('search', MultiSearchType::class, [
            'class' => Post::class, //required
            'search_fields' => [ //optional, if it's empty it will search in all entity columns
                'name',
                'content',
            ],
            'search_comparison_type' => 'wildcard', //optional, what type of comparison to apply ('wildcard','starts_with', 'ends_with', 'equals')
        ])
    ;
}

```

In the controller, inject the service and call the multi search:

```
use Sgloe\MultiSearchBundle\Service\MultiSearchBuilderService;

public function __construct(
    private MultiSearchBuilderService $multiSearchBuilder,
    private EntityManagerInterface $entityManager,
) {}

public function index(Request $request): Response
{
    $queryBuilder = $this->entityManager->getRepository(Post::class)->createQueryBuilder('e');
    $filterForm = $this->createForm(PostFilterType::class);

    // Bind values from the request
    $filterForm->handleRequest($request);

    if ($filterForm->isSubmitted() && $filterForm->isValid()) {
        // Build the query from the given form object
        $queryBuilder = $this->multiSearchBuilder->searchForm($queryBuilder, $filterForm->get('search'));
    }

    ..
}

```

Render your form in the view

```
{{ form_rest(filterForm) }}

```

Available Options
-----------------

[](#available-options)

The provided type has 2 options:

- `search_fields` - array of the entity columns that will be added in the search. If it's not set then will search in all columns
- `search_comparison_type` - how to compare the search term.

    - `wildcard` - it's equivalent to the %search% like search.
    - `equals` - like operator without wildcards. Wildcards still can be used with `equals` if the search term contains \*.
    - `starts_with` - it's equivalent to the %search like search.
    - `ends_with` - it's equivalent to the search% like search.

These parameters can be applyed to the service as well as 4th and 5th parameter to `searchEntity()` method
