search by multiple values using checkbox in laravel - laravel

Question

I have job_sector table in which sector_id and job_id fields are there. I just want to search job_id by the sectors which I have selected through checkbox. One may select multiple sectors.
My model :
public function scopeSelectedOptions($query, $input = [])
{
if(!empty($input)) {
if(array_key_exists('sector_id', $input)) {
$query->whereHas('sector_id', function($q) use ($input) {
return $q->whereIn('sector_id', $input['sector_id']);
});
}
}
return $query;
}
Controller :
public function jobsFilter(Request $request)
{
$jobs = JobSector::SelectedOptions(request()->all())->get();
return view('front.pages.job.jobfilter')->with(['title'=>'Job Filter', 'jobs' => $jobs]);
}
Form from where I am selecting multiple sectors :
<form action="{{ route('job.jobfilter') }}" method="GET" class="mb-4">
{{csrf_field()}}
#foreach(get_sectors() as $k=>$s)
<input type="checkbox" name="input[]" value="{{ $k }}">{{ $k }}<br>
#endforeach
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>
Query showing the output :
#foreach($jobs as $c)
{{ $c->job_id }} <br>
#endforeach
It shows me all the job_id in the table.
Please help me out,

You are giving the wrong array to your scope
it would look like this :
['input' => ['12' => true]]
try this
<form action="{{ route('job.jobfilter') }}" method="GET" class="mb-4">
{{csrf_field()}}
#foreach(get_sectors() as $k=>$s)
<input type="checkbox" name="sector_id[{{ $k }}]">{{ $k }}<br>
#endforeach
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>
public function jobsFilter(Request $request)
{
$jobs = JobSector::whereIn('sector_id', array_keys(request()->sector_id))->get();
return view('front.pages.job.jobfilter')->with(['title'=>'Job Filter', 'jobs' => $jobs]);
}
(I just ignore your scope to be more readable)
