How to pass array into the doctrine query findBy?

Question

Before I had filter params like below:

width: 195
diameter: 15
load: 91

So, I simply use following query to retrieve result.

$list = $this->entityManager->getRepository(List::class)->findBy($filterArray);

Now, my requirement is changed. I can pass comma-separated string

width: 195,245
diameter: 15
load: 91

So, first I convert this string into array:

[
  "width" => [
    0 => "195"
    1 => "245"
  ]
  "diameter" => [
    0 => "15"
  ]
  "load" => [
    0 => "91"
  ]
]

Now I am not sure how to make a query. Filter param can vary. Its not necessary that all the param are passed.

Answer 1

With findBy function you can filter with an array param. For example, if you need to find entities with width: 195,245 you can pass the data like this

['width' => [195, 245]]

For removing the empty params you can use array_filter function

$list = $this->entityManager->getRepository(List::class)->findBy(array_filter($filterArray));

Later if your params will grow, you can use the Doctrine QB for filtering your data
