Translate SQL Search Query to Eloquent Query












1















I would like to have the following query.



select * from `items` 
where (`item_name` LIKE 'foo' or `item_description` LIKE 'foo')
and `item_type` = 'type1'


Translated into Eloquent. I have come up with the following statement:



$items = Item::where('item_type', '=', 'type1')
->orWhere('item_name','LIKE','%'.$q.'%')
->orWhere('item_description','LIKE','%'.$q.'%')
->sortable(['id' => 'desc'])
->paginate(10);


In the above snippet, $q will be foo (it's a search query).



The problem is that this does not return exactly what I want since it also returns items that belong to another item_type instead of the type1 in my example.



How can I translate the above SQL query in an Eloquent query so that it only returns the items which contain foo and which are of type Type1 only?

          Try this. You need a nested where closure:



          $items = Item::where('item_type', '=', 'type1')
          ->where(function($query) use ($q) {
          $query->where('item_name','LIKE','%'.$q.'%')
          ->orWhere('item_description','LIKE','%'.$q.'%');
          })
          ->sortable(['id' => 'desc'])
          ->paginate(10);

          • Thanks sir, much appreciated! This works indeed. Could you provide some explanation on why the nested where closure is required?

          • what you had before is wrong, because orWhere("item_name", "LIKE") would come after where("item_type") which means that if even one of these where's results exist, it fetches them. to further understand, this would be your query from your eloquent: "select * from items where "item_type"=type1 or where item_name LIKE $q. in my answered post, it would be where "item_type"=type1 AND (where "item_name" LIKE $q or where "item_description LIKE $q)
