What will the best solution for this multiple optional filter?



PHP Snippet 1:

public function listCars(Request $request)
{
    $cars = Car::when($request->get('make'), function ($query, $make) {
            $query->where('make', $make);
        })
        ->when($request->get('model'), function ($query, $model) {
            $query->where('model', $model);
        })
        ->...
        ->get();

    // do what you have to do
}

PHP Snippet 2:

public function listCars(Request $request)
{
    $query = Car::query();

    if($request->filled('make')) {
        $query->where('make', $request->get('make'));
    }
    if($request->filled('model')) {
        $query->where('model', $request->get('model'));
    }

    // some more filtering, sorting, ... here

    $cars = $query->get();

    // do what you have to do
}

PHP Snippet 3:

   $filters = $vehicle->newQuery();

    if (!empty($request->make)) {
        $filters->where('make_id', $request->make);

    }
    if (!empty($request->carmodel)) {
        $filters->where('carmodel_di', $request->carmodel);

    }
    if (!empty($request->year)) {
        $filters->where('year_id', $request->year);

    }
    if (!empty($request->engine)) {
        $filters->where('engine_id', $request->engine);

    }

    if (!empty($request->price)) {
        $filters->where('price_id', $request->price);

    }

    $cars = $filters->latest()->paginate(50);

PHP Snippet 4:

    public function listCars(Request $request)
{
    $cars = Car::when($request->has('make'), function ($query)use($request) {
            $query->join('maker','car.makerId','=','maker.id')
            ->where('make', $request->input('make'));
        })
        ->when($request->has('model'), function ($query)use($request) {
            $query->where('model', $request->input('model'));
        })
        ->...
        ->get();

    // you can even make the join conditionaly, 
}

PHP Snippet 5:

$fiterItem = ['make','model','year','engine','price'];
$filters = $vehicle->newQuery();

foreach ($filter as $item) {
    if ($r->filled($item)) {
      $list->where($item, $r->query($item));
    }
}
$list = $filters->paginate(20);
