SearchableRelation questions

[WillyReyno]

Hello,

Is it possible to search on a related json column without case sensitivity?
Is it possible to search through nested relationships? (example: Post -> Comment -> Author -> name)

Thanks for the awesome work!

You should be able to create your own custom search class as it only requires an invokable object, or just use a Closure.

I hadn't thought about that option, thanks!

Meanwhile, I found solution for both cases :

Search through json column without case sensitivity
I switched my schema columns from json to text and it now allows me to search without case sensitivity and everything still works fine in my app.

Searching through nested relationships
I used staudenmeir/eloquent-has-many-deep that allows me to create nested relationships on my models. If I take my example above, I now have a author relationship method on my Post model, which pass through Comment to get them.

In my Post Resource I can now simply use author.name and search is working perfectly
