Another approach for this example is:

in PostController

public function index(Request $request)
{
     $posts = Post::query()
            ->postFilter()
            ->get();

     return view('demo', compact('posts'));
}

in Post model

public function scopePostFilter($query)
{
       $query->when(
            request('active'),
            fn ($query) => $query->where('active', request('active'))
        );

        $query->when(
            request('sort'),
            fn ($query) => $query->orderBy('title', request('sort'));
        );
}

Your approach is specific for only post model. And above Pipeline example in tutorial can be used in multiple contollers.

I Loved it, it's will be so much useful for dynamic repetition too

Certainly pipelines are nice. But in this example they are ruined by having to create two separate modules to implement the filters, rather then to just do it inline.

I think you missed the post conclusion. Any here it is.

It might feel overwhelm to implement Pipelines just for two filters but it will be much clean and beneficial for large number of filter or any other complex implementation.
