Not

Not filters are used to invert whatever the filter supplied in the constructor does. i.e. to include what the other filter excludes and to exclude what the other filter includes.

Creating a Not filter

You can either construct a Not filter object and pass the filter to invert in the constructor or you can call the getInvertedFilter() function on the existing filter.

// People not called John
$notEquals = new Not(new Equals("FirstName", "John"));
// Same again
$notEquals = (new Equals("FirstName", "John"))->getInvertedFilter();

This works with all other filters including groups. This example will remove all models called Jo Johnson.

$filterGroup = new AndGroup(
    new Contains("Forename", "Jo"),
    new Contains("Surname", "Johnson")
);
$notFilter = new Not($filterGroup);
