Are you want to make full text search in your laravel 5.5 application ?, If Yes then you are a right place. In this post i am going to share with you how to create full text search using “nicolaslopezj/searchable” composer package in laravel 5.
In real field we almost require to create full text search like if you have users table and there are several columns like id, first name, last name, email, address, city etc. So if you search just “a” then if should filter with all the columns. So it’s like just run simple query with search, it should work like datatables search. So don’t worry about it here you will see full example of full text search from here.
In this example i am going to use “nicolaslopezj/searchable” composer package for full text search. they provide several other feature you can use on guide line, now here we will make simple example. So let’s just follow bellow step.
Preview:
Step 1: Install Package
first thing is that we have to install “nicolaslopezj/searchable” composer package, so let’s run bellow command for it.
composer require nicolaslopezj/searchable
Step 2: Package Setup
In this step, if i am not wrong we have default table “users” created with it’s model. So, we have to simple add SearchableTrait on user model. So let’s add SearchableTrait as like following:
app/User.php
<?php
namespace App;
use IlluminateNotificationsNotifiable;
use IlluminateFoundationAuthUser as Authenticatable;
use NicolaslopezjSearchableSearchableTrait;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use Notifiable;
use SearchableTrait;
/**
* Searchable rules.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $searchable = [
'columns' => [
'users.name' => 10,
'users.email' => 5,
'users.id' => 3,
]
];
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'email', 'password',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
}
Step 3: Add New Route for Search
Here, we will add new “my-search” route, so open web.php file and add one following route.
routes/web.php
Route::get("my-search","HomeController@mySearch");
Step 4: Add Controller Method
Now we will add mySearch() controller method in HomeController, So let’s open HomeController and add following code:
app/Http/Controllers/HomeController.php
<?php
namespace AppHttpControllers;
use IlluminateHttpRequest;
use AppUser;
class HomeController extends Controller
{
public function mySearch(Request $request)
{
if($request->has('search')){
$users = User::search($request->get('search'))->get();
}else{
$users = User::get();
}
return view('my-search', compact('users'));
}
}
Step 5: Create Blade File
At last we will create my-search.blade.php file and you have to add following code for search form and table data display:
resources/views/my-search.blade.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Laravel 5.5 Full Text Search Example</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<div >
<h1>Laravel 5.5 Full Text Search Example</h1>
<form method="GET" action="{{ url('my-search') }}">
<div >
<div >
<input type="text" name="search" placeholder="Search" value="{{ old('search') }}">
</div>
<div >
<button >Search</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
<table >
<tr>
<th>Id</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Email</th>
</tr>
@if($users->count())
@foreach($users as $user)
<tr>
<td>{{ $user->id }}</td>
<td>{{ $user->name }}</td>
<td>{{ $user->email }}</td>
</tr>
@endforeach
@else
<tr>
<td colspan="3">Result not found.</td>
</tr>
@endif
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>
now we are ready to run our full example, make sure you have some dummy data in users table.
