Custom repository

It is also possible to use the search plugin on custom repositories which implement Cake\Datasource\RepositoryInterface like endpoint classes used in the Webservice plugin.

<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Model\Endpoint;

use Muffin\Webservice\Model\Endpoint;
use Search\Model\SearchTrait;

class ProductsEndpoint extends Endpoint
{
    use SearchTrait;

    public function initialize()
    {
        $this->searchManager()
            ->value('category_id');
    }
}

After including the trait you can use the searchManager by calling the searchManager() method from your initialize() method.
