Date Filter

DateFilter renders a date picker in the UI and automatically applies the correct timestamp querying logic to your database.

Basic Usage

By default, the DateFilter acts as a single-date selector. It comes with three default operators:

• equals (Exact date)
• < (Before this date)
• > (After this date)

use Kinetics\Filters\DateFilter;

DateFilter::make('created_at')

Date Range Selection

Instead of picking a single date, you can configure the filter to accept a Start Date and an End Date.

To enable this, call the range() method.

use Kinetics\Filters\DateFilter;

DateFilter::make('created_at')->range()

When range() is enabled:

1. The frontend UI transforms into a dual date-picker (start and end).
2. The available operator is forcefully set to between.
3. The SQL query generated will use the WHERE ... BETWEEN logic.
