                'name'   => 'Email verified?',
                'type'   => 'select', // Available types: text, select, multi-select, from-to
                'values' => [-1 => 'Not important', 1 => 'Yes', 0 => 'No']
            ],
            'country'           => [
                'name'   => 'Country',
                'type'   => 'multi-select', // Available types: text, select, multi-select, from-to
                'values' => Country::all()->mapWithKeys(function ($country) {
                    return [
                        $country->id => $country->name
                    ];
                })
            ],
        ];
    }
    
    public function getFilterQuery()
    {
        $filters = request()->get('filters', []);
        $query = User::select('id', 'email');
        
        foreach ($this->getFilters() as $field => $filter) {
            $data = (isset($filters[$field])) ? $filters[$field] : -1;
            
            if ($data < 0) {
                continue;
            }
    
            if ($filter['type'] == 'multi-select') {
                $query->whereHas($field, function ($q) use ($data) {
                    $q->whereIn('id', $data);
                });
            } elseif ($filter['type'] == 'from-to') {

                if (($data['from'] && $data['to']) && $data['to'] > $data['from']) {
                    $query->whereBetween($field, [$data['from'], $data['to']]);
                }

            } else {
                $query->where($field, $data);
            }
        }
