​
Overview

Modifiers are ways to slightly alter the way that a filter works.

​
How To Use

Append :{modifierName} to the type of the filter. 
$filter = [
    'type'   => '$like:start',
    'target' => 'framework',
    'value'  => 'laravel',
];
Multiple modifiers can be applied. 
$filter = [
    'type'   => '$like:start:end',
    'target' => 'framework',
    'value'  => 'laravel',
];

​
Core Filter Modifiers

Some of the core filters provided by this package have modifiers. $like
  • :start - matches only the start of field LIKE 'Laravel%'.
  • :end - matches only the end of field LIKE '%Laravel'.
$notLike
  • :start - matches only the start of field NOT LIKE 'Laravel%'.
  • :end - matches only the end of field NOT LIKE '%Laravel'.
$in
  • :null - also does a or "{$target}" is null.
$notIn
  • :null- also does a and "{$target}" is not null.

​
Configuring Modifiers

By default, all filter modifiers are enabled.

​
Allowing

Though, you can specify only specific modifiers to enable. 
public function allowedFilters(): AllowedFilterList
{
    return Filter::only(
        Filter::field('name', [FilterType::LIKE->withModifiers('end')])
    );
}

​
Disabling

You can also disable all modifiers. 
public function allowedFilters(): AllowedFilterList
{
    return Filter::only(
        Filter::field('name', [FilterType::LIKE->withoutModifiers()])
    );
}
