Eloquent Mapper

Actions Status

A laravel package that use the full power of relations to create automatic joins and perform advanced filtering.

Given for e.g. two models Office and Employee, you can transform a string like this "employees.name ct 'Mario Rossi' or employees.name ct 'Giacomo'" into a sql query like this

select offices.* 
from `offices` 
left join `employees` as `employees` on `employees`.`office_id` = `offices`.`id`
where (`employees`.`name` like ? or `employees`.`name` like ?)

Functions:

Requirements

PHP 8.1 and laravel 8

Installation

You can install it via Composer by typing the following command:

composer require railken/eloquent-mapper

Usage

In order to use this library you need a map.

Create a new class wherever you want like the following example

app/Map.php

namespace App;

use Railken\EloquentMapper\Map as BaseMap;

class Map extends BaseMap
{
    /**
     * Return an array of all models you want to map
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function models(): array
    {
        /** return [
            \App\Models\User::class
        ]; **/
    }
}

The method models must return a list of all models. You can even add models that are in your vendor folder, regardless of the logic you use, you only have to return an array.

Railken\EloquentMapper\Map also has the mapping of relations and attributes based on the model, if you wish you can ovveride that functionality and write your own. Check source

These methods are invoked only when you call the command artisan mapper:generate (see below) and the result will be cached in a file placed in bootstrap/cache/map.php.

This means you can perform whatever logic you want to retrieve all models (e.g. scanning files), so don't worry about caching.

Important: In order to be detected, all relations must return the type Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\Relation like this:

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsTo;

class Foo extends Model
{   
    /**
     * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsTo
     */
    public function bar(): BelongsTo
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Bar::class);
    }
}

Now it's time to register this class in any provider to override the default one.

app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use App\Map;
use Railken\EloquentMapper\Contracts\Map as MapContract;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * @inherit
     */
    public function register()
    {
        $this->app->bind(MapContract::class, Map::class);
    }
}

Artisan

There is only one command, and it's artisan mapper:generate. This command will remap and recache so keep in mind that you have to execute it whanever you change your code models .

If you use models that are in your vendor folder, you could add this in your composer.json to reload everytime the libreries are updated.

{
   "scripts": {
        "post-autoload-dump": [
            "@php artisan mapper:generate"
        ]
    }
}

Filtering

Sow how the filtering actually works?

use Railken\EloquentMapper\Scopes\FilterScope;
use Railken\EloquentMapper\With\WithCollection;
use Railken\EloquentMapper\With\WithItem;
use App\Models\Foo;

$foo = new Foo;
$query = $foo->newQuery();
$filter = "created_at >= 2019";

$scope = new FilterScope;
$scope->apply($query, $filter, new WithCollection([
    new WithItem('bar')
]));

And that's it! $query is now filtered, if Foo has any relationships you can use the dot notation and the filter will automatically perform the join. For e.g. if Foo has a relationship called tags and you want to retrieve all Foo with the tag name myCustomTag simply use tag.name = 'myCustomTag'.

Here's the full syntax

The third parameter is the eager loading option. You can of course use the dot notation as well and add subquery. For istance the following example rapresent a list of all authors that contains the name Mario and returns all of theirs books that have a tag.name called sci-fi.

use Railken\EloquentMapper\Scopes\FilterScope;
use Railken\EloquentMapper\With\WithCollection;
use Railken\EloquentMapper\With\WithItem;
use Railken\EloquentMapper\Tests\Models\Author;

$author = new Author;
$query = $author->newQuery();
$filter = "name ct 'Mario'";
$scope = new FilterScope;

$scope->apply($query, $filter, new WithCollection([
    new WithItem('books', 'tag.name eq "sci-fi"')
]));

Joiner

This is an internal class used by the FilterScope to join the necessary relations before performing the filtering, but you can use it indipendently. see tests

Example - Setup

Let's continue with a real example, first the setup. We will use two models: Office and Employee

app/Models/Office.php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\HasMany;

class Office extends Model
{   
    /** 
     * @var array
     */
    public $fillable = [
        'name',
        'description'
    ];

    /**
     * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\HasMany
     */
    public function employees(): HasMany
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Employee::class);
    }
}

app/Models/Employee.php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsTo;
use App\Models\Office;

class Employee extends Model
{   
    /**
     * @var array
     */
    public $fillable = [
        'name',
        'description',
        'office_id'
    ];

    /**
     * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsTo
     */
    public function office(): BelongsTo
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Office::class);
    }
}

app/Map.php

namespace App;

use Railken\EloquentMapper\Map as BaseMap;

class Map extends BaseMap
{
    /**
     * Return an array of all models you want to map
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function models(): array
    {
        return [
            \App\Models\Employee::class,
            \App\Models\Office::class
        ];
    }
}

Example - Usage

Retrieve all offices that have employees with name Mario Rossi or Giacomo

use App\Models\Office;
use Railken\EloquentMapper\Scopes\FilterScope;

$office = new Office;

$query = $office->newQuery();
$filter = "employees.name ct 'Mario Rossi' or employees.name ct 'Giacomo'"

$scope = new FilterScope();
$scope->apply($query, $filter);

echo $query->toSql();

Result:

select offices.* 
from `offices` 
left join `employees` as `employees` on `employees`.`office_id` = `offices`.`id`
where (`employees`.`name` like ? or `employees`.`name` like ?)
