Global Search

By default, Twill's global search input is always available in the dashboard and behind the top-right search icon on other Twill's screens. By default, the search input performs a LIKE query on the title attribute only. If you like, you can specify a custom list of attributes to search for in each dashboard enabled module:

 1return [
 2    'dashboard' => [
 3        'modules' => [
 4            'projects' => [
 5                'name' => 'projects',
 6                'routePrefix' => 'work',
 7                'count' => true,
 8                'create' => true,
 9                'activity' => true,
10                'draft' => true,
11                'search' => true,
12                'search_fields' => ['name', 'description']
13            ],
14            ...
15        ],
16        ...
17    ],
18    ...
19];

You can also customize the endpoint to handle search queries yourself:

1return [
2    'dashboard' => [
3        ...,
4        'search_endpoint' => 'your.custom.search.endpoint.route.name',
5    ],
6    ...
7];

You will need to return a collection of values, like in the following example:

 1return $searchResults->map(function ($item) use ($module) {
 2    try {
 3        $author = $item->revisions()->latest()->first()->user->name ?? 'Admin';
 4    } catch (\Exception $e) {
 5        $author = 'Admin';
 6    }

 8    return [
 9        'id' => $item->id,
10        'href' => moduleRoute($moduleName['name'], $moduleName['routePrefix'], 'edit', $item->id),
11        'thumbnail' => $item->defaultCmsImage(['w' => 100, 'h' => 100]),
12        'published' => $item->published,
13        'activity' => 'Last edited',
14        'date' => $item->updated_at->toIso8601String(),
15        'title' => $item->title,
16        'author' => $author,
17        'type' => Str::singular($module['name']),
18    ];
19})->values();
