Hi there, I'm successfully using Filterable on my Laravel App but now I'm facing a problem when filtering arrays.
It works for me on this request: GET /posts?category[]=1&category[]=2&user[]=33&user[]=44
But I would like to have the call like this: GET /posts?category=1,2&user=33,44 on this case, PostFilter it's not created properly and I'm not able to explode it first and then create a new PostFilter().
Is there any solution? Thanks in advance

Hi Martí!

So glad to hear that you are using my package in your Laravel apps.

Regarding your issue, I'm not entirely sure how you have your PostFilter class defined so I've gone ahead and made something similar to accomplish what you were trying to achieve. Hope it helps!

<?php

namespace App\Filters;

use Ignite\Shared\Data\Filters\Filter;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;

class PostFilter extends Filter
{
    /**
     * Registered filters to operate upon.
     *
     * @var array<string>
     */
    protected array $filters = ['category', 'user'];

    /**
     * Filter the query by category ID.
     *
     * @param string $ids
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder
     */
    public function category(string $ids): Builder
    {
        return $this->applyFilter('category_id', $ids);
    }

    /**
     * Filter the query by user ID.
     *
     * @param string $ids
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder
     */
    public function user(string $ids): Builder
    {
        return $this->applyFilter('user_id', $ids);
    }

    /**
     * Apply the filter to the query.
     *
     * @param string $fieldName
     * @param string $ids
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder
     */
    protected function applyFilter(string $fieldName, string $ids): Builder
    {
        if (Str::contains($ids, ',')) {
            $ids = explode(',', $ids);

            return $this->builder->whereIn($fieldName, $ids);
        }

        return $this->builder->where($fieldName, $ids);
    }
}
