Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Preparing your models

[](#preparing-your-models)

Add a searchable property. These are the table columns you'll be searching on. If the model has a relationship, you can use dot notation to determine the path.

```
namespace App\Models;

class Post extends Model
{
    protected $searchable = [
        'name', 'body', 'category.name'
    ];

    public function category()
    {
        return $this->hasOne(Category::class);
    }
}
```

### Searching

[](#searching)

To run a search use the search() method on your queries.

```
$posts = Post::search($request->query)->get();
```

You can override the default search columns by passing an array.

```
$posts = Post::search($request->query, ['name'])->get();
```

### Config

[](#config)

You may want to change the search method name or the search property name on your models. First, publish the config.

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="ZestyBus\LaravelSimpleSearch\LaravelSimpleSearchServiceProvider" --tag="config"
```

Simply change the method name or property name to something that suits your requirements.

```
return [

    /**
     *  Name of the eloquent builder method.
     */
    'method' => 'filter',

    /**
     *  Name of the models public searchable property.
     */
    'property' => 'filterable'
];
```

```
$posts = Post::filter($request->query, ['name'])->get();
```

```
namespace App\Models;

class Post extends Model
{
    protected $filterable = [
        'name', 'body', 'category.name'
    ];

    public function category()
    {
        return $this->hasOne(Category::class);
    }
}
```
