Global Search

AdminTW comes with a search component that's pre-configured to search users. The search component can be configured to use any model.

The search class:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Http\Livewire\Admin;

use Livewire\Component;
use App\Models\User;

class Search extends Component
{
    public string $query         = '';
    public array  $models        = [
        User::class
    ];
    public array  $searchResults = [];

    public function render(): View
    {
        $this->searchResults = [];

        if (strlen($this->query) > 2) {
            foreach ($this->models as $model) {
                $query   = new $model();
                $fields  = $query->getModel()->searchable;
                $fields  = implode(',', $fields);
                $search  = str_replace('@', '', $this->query);
                $results = $query->selectRaw('*, MATCH ('.$fields.') AGAINST (? IN BOOLEAN MODE)', ['*'.$search.'*'])
                    ->whereRaw('MATCH ('.$fields.') AGAINST (? IN BOOLEAN MODE)', ['*'.$search.'*'])
                    ->take(10)
                    ->get();

                foreach ($results as $result) {
                    $this->searchResults[] = [
                        'label'   => $result[$query->getModel()->label],
                        'route'   => $query->getModel()->route($result->id),
                        'section' => $result->section
                    ];
                }
            }

            add_user_log([
                'title'        => "Searched: ".$this->query,
                'link'         => route('admin.settings'),
                'reference_id' => auth()->id(),
                'section'      => 'Search',
                'type'         => 'Search'
            ]);
        }

        return view('livewire.admin.search');
    }
}

The change what models can be searched add the model class into this array:

 
public array $models = [
    User::class
];

For models to be searchable they require:

• Label - the column to display the name or label ie for users name is used to represet the users name.
• Section - A user friendly name of the area being searched. Users to identify the section being search ie Users, Posts
• Searchable - An array of searchable columns set each column of the model that should be searched.
• Route - A route method that links to a view/edit page for when the search item is clicked.

 
public string $label      = 'name';
public string $section    = 'Users';
public array  $searchable = ['name', 'email'];

public function route($id): string
{
    return route('admin.users.show', ['user' => $id]);
}
