Laravel's Eloquent ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) is one of its standout features, offering a robust and expressive way to interact with your database. One essential functionality Eloquent provides is the method, that allows developers to filter queries efficiently and intuitively. In this article, we will delve deep into the where condition, exploring its various forms and practical use cases.

Basic Usage of where

The where method is used to add basic constraints to database queries. Here’s a simple example:

$users = User::where('status', 'active')->get();

In this example, we are retrieving all users where the status column is active.

Syntax

The basic syntax of the where method is:

Model::where('column', 'operator', 'value');

column: The name of the column.

operator: The comparison operator (e.g., =, >, =,

value: The value to compare the column against.
