TextFilter

Free-text filter with a configurable SQL operator. Substring LIKE by default, so it works as a scoped search box for a single column, plus prefix / suffix / exact / comparison operators. It is also the engine behind a column header's ->filterable() text filter.

use NyonCode\WireTable\Filters\TextFilter;

Basic (substring match)

TextFilter::make('name')
// WHERE name LIKE '%value%'

Operators

TextFilter::make('sku')
    ->operator('starts_with')   // WHERE sku LIKE 'value%'
 
TextFilter::make('email')
    ->operator('=')             // exact match
 
TextFilter::make('age')
    ->operator('>=')            // numeric / lexical comparison

Supported: like (default), starts_with, ends_with, equals / =, !=, >, >=, <, <=.

Custom Query Logic

TextFilter::make('title')
    ->query(fn (Builder $query, $value) => $query->where('title', 'like', "%{$value}%"))

TextFilter API

->operator(string $operator)        // default: 'like'
->debounce(?int $ms)                // debounce for the live input
->query(Closure $fn)                // custom query: fn(Builder $q, $value)

The comparison flows through the canonical QueryPlanner (the operator maps to a LIKE / comparison clause), so joins and column qualification are handled identically to every other filter.
