Example, we want to return a list of users filtered by multiple parameters. When we navigate to:
/users?name=Tony&lastName=&companyId=2&industry=5
request.all()
or request.qs()
will return:
{
"name": "Tony",
"lastName": "",
"companyId": 2,
"industry": 5
}
To filter by all those parameters we would need to do something like:
import type { HttpContext } from '@adonisjs/core/http'
import User from '#models/user'
export default class UsersController {
async index({ request }: HttpContext): Promise<User[]> {
const { companyId, lastName, name, industry } = request.qs()
const query = User.query().where('company_id', +companyId)
if (lastName) {
query.where('last_name', 'LIKE', `%${lastName}%`)
}
if (name) {
query.where(function () {
this.where('first_name', 'LIKE', `%${name}%`)
.orWhere('last_name', 'LIKE', `%${name}%`)
})
}
return query.exec()
}
}
To filter that same input with Lucid Filters:
import type { HttpContext } from '@adonisjs/core/http'
import User from '#models/user'
export default class UsersController {
async index({ request }: HttpContext): Promise<User[]> {
return User.filter(request.qs()).exec()
}
}
Make sure to install it using npm
, yarn
or pnpm
.
# npm
npm i adonis-lucid-filter
# yarn
yarn add adonis-lucid-filter
# pnpm
pnpm add adonis-lucid-filter
After install call configure
:
node ace configure adonis-lucid-filter
Make sure to register the provider and commands inside adonisrc.ts
file.
providers: [
// ...
() => import('adonis-lucid-filter/provider'),
],
commands: [
// ...
() => import('adonis-lucid-filter/commands')
]
Only available if you have added
adonis-lucid-filter/commands
incommands
array in your `adonisrc.ts'
You can create a model filter with the following ace command:
node ace make:filter user
Where user
is the Lucid Model you are creating the filter for. This will create app/models/filters/user_filter.js
Define the filter logic based on the camel cased input key passed to the filter()
method.
- Empty strings are ignored
-
setup()
will be called regardless of input -
_id
is dropped from the end of the input to define the method so filteringuser_id
would use theuser()
method - Input without a corresponding filter method are ignored
- The value of the key is injected into the method
- All values are accessible through the
this.$input
a property - All QueryBuilder methods are accessible in
this.$query
object in the model filter class.
To define methods for the following input:
{
"companyId": 5,
"name": "Tony",
"mobilePhone": "888555"
}
You would use the following methods:
import { BaseModelFilter } from 'adonis-lucid-filter'
import type { ModelQueryBuilderContract } from '@adonisjs/lucid/types/model'
import User from '#models/user'
export default class UserFilter extends BaseModelFilter {
declare $query: ModelQueryBuilderContract<typeof User>
static blacklist: string[] = ['secretMethod']
// This will filter 'companyId', 'company_id' OR 'company'
company(id: number) {
this.$query.where('company_id', id)
}
name(name: string) {
this.$query.where((builder) => {
builder
.where('first_name', 'LIKE', `%${name}%`)
.orWhere('last_name', 'LIKE', `%${name}%`)
})
}
mobilePhone(phone: string) {
this.$query.where('mobile_phone', 'LIKE', `${phone}%`)
}
secretMethod(secretParameter: any) {
this.$query.where('some_column', true)
}
}
Any methods defined in the blacklist
array will not be called by the filter.
Those methods are normally used for internal filter logic.
The whitelistMethod()
methods can be used to dynamically blacklist methods.
Example:
setup($query) {
this.whitelistMethod('secretMethod')
this.$query.where('is_admin', true)
}
setup()
not may be async
Note: All methods inside
setup()
will be called every timefilter()
is called on the model
In the example above secretMethod()
will not be called, even if there is a secret_method
key in the input object.
In order to call this method it would need to be whitelisted dynamically:
export default class UserFilter extends BaseModelFilter {
// Blacklisted methods
static blacklist: string[] = []
// Dropped `_id` from the end of the input
// Doing this would allow you to have a `company()` filter method as well as a `companyId()` filter method.
static dropId: boolean = true
// Doing this would allow you to have a mobile_phone() filter method instead of mobilePhone().
// By default, mobilePhone() filter method can be called thanks to one of the following input key:
// mobile_phone, mobilePhone, mobile_phone_id, mobilePhoneId
static camelCase: boolean = true
}
import UserFilter from '#models/filters/user_filter'
import { compose } from '@adonisjs/core/helpers'
import { Filterable } from 'adonis-lucid-filter'
export default class User extends compose(BaseModel, Filterable) {
static $filter = () => UserFilter
// ...columns and props
}
This gives you access to the filter()
method that accepts an object of input:
import type { HttpContext } from '@adonisjs/core/http'
import User from '#models/user'
export default class UsersController {
async index({ request }: HttpContext): Promise<User[]> {
return User.filter(request.qs()).exec()
}
// or with paginate method
async index({ request }: HttpContext): Promise<ModelPaginatorContract<User>> {
const { page = 1, ...input } = request.qs()
return User.filter(input).paginate(page, 15)
}
}
You can define the filter dynamically by passing the filter to use as the second parameter of the filter() method. Defining a filter dynamically will take precedent over any other filters defined for the model.
import type { HttpContext } from '@adonisjs/core/http'
import AdminFilter from '#models/filters/admin_filter'
import UserFilter from '#models/filters/user_filter'
export default class UsersController {
async index({ request, auth }: HttpContext): Promise<User[]> {
const filter = auth.user.isAdmin() ? AdminFilter : UserFilter
return User.filter(request.qs(), filter).exec()
}
}
For filtering relations of model may be use .query().filter()
or scope filtration
, example:
import type { HttpContext } from '@adonisjs/core/http'
import User from '#models/user'
export default class UserPostsController {
/**
* Get a list posts of user
* GET /users/:user_id/posts
*/
async index({ params, request }: HttpContext): Promise<Post[]> {
const user: User = await User.findOrFail(params.user_id)
return user.related('posts').query()
.apply(scopes => scopes.filtration(request.qs()))
.exec()
// or
return user.related('posts').query().filter(request.qs()).exec()
}
}

Note: The relation model must be Filterable
and $filter
must be defined in it
