I included a new section for four day work week jobs and when building the logic for that, I wanted to make use of scopes that are present in the eloquent model. I use Laravel Scout to offload some of the work.
Scope scopeIsPublished
has an easy boolean check against the database like this:
<?php
//model definition
public function scopeIsPublished($query)
{
return $query->where('is_published', true);
}
With Scout, I wanted to include this when a user searches for a job. So naturally, this was what I ended up with.
<?php
//logic
$query = Jobs::search('search text')
->onlyPublished()
->otherConditions();
I was surprised when the results were unfiltered so I looked a little into the support for scopes in Laravel Scout. On the model instance, ScoutBuilder exposes a handy callback for query
so you can use it like this.
<?php
//logic
$query = Jobs::search('search text')
->query(function ($query){
return $query->onlyPublished();
})
->otherConditions();
This helped get the expected results and should work with all providers Algolia, Elasticsearch, Meilisearch, etc.
