Free version https://laravel-crud-wizard.com - Dynamic Filtering for Laravel and Lumen

[macropay-solutions]

Folowing #49228, we gladly present

https://laravel-crud-wizard.com

https://github.com/macropay-solutions/laravel-lumen-crud-wizard

This is not just another CRUD lib!
It has built in filtering capabilities that can be used for listing but also for mass deleting, so it could be called a CRUFD (create, read, update, filter and delete) lib instead.

If you have a sql DB that needs API exposure ASAP then this is a fast or maybe the fastest solution.

On request we can issue a test token to be used on a laravel 9 DEMO project that has a dummy db.

You get:

• crud-wizard-builder: request builder that is used to encode the request in the request initiator project + documentation (min PHP 7.4 or 8.0)
• laravel-crud-wizard: request parser or translator into sql for the request target project + documentation (min PHP 8.0)
• laravel 9 demo project that uses laravel-crud-wizard

Changes required for the first resource:

With green are the changes needed for a new resource (except ResourceController).

Long story short: so you don't have to code the filters by hand.

Consider this solution only if you have or plan to have over 10 tables exposed via api.

Full free suite: #55160

So if someone is interested in testing it here is the bearer token: 6TGvWZzsQMop4kiATYfgEjA3oQBmBkjkpE2H9R2q
Here is the endpoint: https://laravel-crud-wizard.com/laravel-9/api/{resource} or /laravel-10/
ex https://laravel-crud-wizard.com/laravel-9/api/operations?mins[]=created_at
Here are exposed the resources with their relations: https://laravel-crud-wizard.com//laravel-9/laravel-lumen-crud-wizard

PS. HEADER: Accept application/xls generates a binary xls file for download (with relations in different sheets).
PS. updated for mariadb driver

Amazing job! This will really facilitate of reducing a boilerplate while building APIs

Added also min and max aggregations today.

Good news. New feature implemented to allow filter on nullable columns with in (null,1,2,3,4,5) that will generate nested where with or:
(column in (...) OR column IS NULL)

We invite you all to try our URL QUERY LANGUAGE (without postman), directly into the lib presentation page.

For start, you can run the queries from previous replies.

http://89.40.19.34/laravel-9/laravel-lumen-crud-wizard

http://89.40.19.34/laravel-10/laravel-lumen-crud-wizard

The tables have millions rows so, some queries might timeout and File not found will be displayed in the browser.

[dmitrychurkin]

It would be great if the free version could have basic filtering and multi sorting capabilities.

[macropay-solutions]

@dmitrychurkin Thank you for your reply. We will discuss this internally and get back to you with an answer ASAP.

[macropay-solutions]

@dmitrychurkin It is our pleasure to announce the release o the free version that now contains also basic filters and sort: https://packagist.org/packages/macropay-solutions/laravel-crud-wizard-free

Bear in mind that for the free version, GET /resource?column=value will translate to sql: column = 'value' as opposed to the paid version: column like 'value%'.
To get column = 'value' in sql in the paid version the query should be GET /resource?column[in][]=value

@taylorotwell This basic filter and sort could be incorporated into the apiResource in the index action.

[macropay-solutions]

Added List relation as resource: to the test page.
INFO:
Multiple queries to fetch hydrated model are done in order to have the ability to check the state in the relation function definition. This is an inverse(or reverse) search that does not use Eloquent relation->where to improve speed and ease the index usage for mysql as it can be seen in the last query.
This is equivalent to

/operations?relationsFilters[parent][id][in][]=2&currency[in][]=EUR

but it enforces the id of the parent in route.

[macropay-solutions]

Released big improvement for update/upsert in the free version: fix-upsert-validation

[macropay-solutions]

We introduced in both libs autocomplete model attributes #51783

[macropay-solutions]

Introducing UI dynamic url query builder
http://89.40.19.34/laravel-9/laravel-lumen-crud-wizard#operations
http://89.40.19.34/laravel-10/laravel-lumen-crud-wizard#operations

PS. the aggregations are not yet in the demo but can be used by manually writing the query.

UPDATE added aggregations, pagination and multisorting.

[macropay-solutions]

Thank you laravel comunity:

[macropay-solutions]

Latest version of the free lib contains now also withRelations, withRelationsCount and withRelationsExistence on list:

Can the free version of this lib be embedded in laravel and lumen?

I see many overhead code that gets added to laravel anyway. I see it is released under MIT license and I think it would greatly benefit the community (especially for lumen which I know, I know, "it is NOT RECOMMENDED" anymore, but still)

[macropay-solutions]

We have nothing against that idea.

[macropay-solutions]

Introducing a demo page for the free version: http://89.40.19.34/laravel-10-free/laravel-lumen-crud-wizard

[macropay-solutions]

Added increment / decrement via api call on the update route for the paid version..

[macropay-solutions]

[macropay-solutions]

Added notContains filter.

[macropay-solutions]

NEW feature released for avoiding sql timeout

The feature can be enabled by adding in the model (that has big number of rows)
public bool $transformInSubSelectsInTemporaryTables = true;

[macropay-solutions]

New version released for free version: 3.4.0
More details here: #53737 (comment)

[macropay-solutions]

New version for crud-wizard-builder: request builder that is used to encode the request in the request initiator project + documentation (min PHP 7.4 or 8.0) capable of async calls for count to speed up the list on big tables

[ghost]

@macropay-solutions see this #54103 https://api-platform.com/docs/laravel/

Would be nice to see a parallel comparison between what you offer in your paid libs vs this free version from symfony.

[macropay-solutions]

@bulletproof-coding At first glance it seems that api-platform needs more coding than our libs do.

[macropay-solutions]

We introduced example of list via post for hiding sensitive data from filters in the body of the request.

[macropay-solutions]

Introduced aggregations for relations' columns via api

example for decorated version http://89.40.19.34/laravel-10/laravel-lumen-crud-wizard/decorated

aggregates[countRelations][0]=products&aggregates[existRelations][0]=products&aggregates[sumsRelations][products][0]=productValue&aggregates[avgsRelations][products][0]=productValue&aggregates[minsRelations][products][0]=productValue&aggregates[maxsRelations][products][0]=productValue&aggregates[havings][products__productValue_sum][from]=100&limit=10&page=1&sort[0][dir]=DESC&sort[0][by]=operationValue&sort[1][dir]=DESC&sort[1][by]=products__productValue_sum&perPage=10

[macropay-solutions]

Introduced avoiding DB block by long running selects via API for mysql >= 5.7.4 and mariaDB >= 10.1.1.

[macropay-solutions]

Free version 3.4.12 now contains:

GET|PUT|DELETE /{resource}/{identifier}/{relation}/{relatedIdentifier}

[macropay-solutions]

We released laravel-crud-wizard-generator for laravel-crud-wizard-free to ease the generation of model, service and controller.

[macropay-solutions]

We released a retroactive vulnerability fix:

• 2025-02-11 Laravel has a File Validation Bypass retroactive fix in https://github.com/macropay-solutions/laravel-crud-wizard-free/releases/tag/3.4.17 for >= 8.0.0 and <11.44.1

Register \MacropaySolutions\LaravelCrudWizard\Providers\ValidationServiceProvider instead of Illuminate\Validation\ValidationServiceProvider::class if you are using illuminate/validation < 11.44.1 to solve CVE-2025-27515 security issue
