Sorting by price in Mongo Laravel - php

Question

Trying to sort assets based on price.
blade.php
<form action="/assets/search/" method="GET" class="form-inline">
#csrf
<div class="searchByPrice pt-3">
<p class="font-weight-bold">Search By Price</p>
<label for="price">Volume</label>
<input type="range" min="0" max="500000" id="price" step="100" name="price"
oninput="outputUpdate(value)">
<output for="price" id="volume">250000</output>
<script>
function outputUpdate(vol) {
document.querySelector('#volume').value = vol;
}
</script>
</div>
</form>
Controller
public function show(Request $request, $_id)
{
$query = Asset::query();
if ($p = $request->price) {
$query->where('price', '<', $p);
}
$assets = $query->get();
return view('assets::assets',compact('assets'));
}
dd();
DD($request->price);
I'm not getting the desired results. Any Solutions? Or are there any alternative solutions for sorting by price in Laravel mongo?

Answer 1

What I was doing wrong is that I needed to return the query inside the if() statement. Like this
public function show(Request $request, $_id)
{
$query = Asset::query();
if ($p = $request->price) {
$query->where('price', '<', $p);
$assets = $query->get();
return view('assets::assets',compact('assets'));
}
}
