Extra where scopes for Laravel Models

Functions:

• whereOrEmptyOrNull($column, $value, $ignore)
• whereInColumn($column, $value)
• whereNotInColumn($column, $value)
• whereIfNull($column, $ifNull, $operator = null, $value = null, $boolean = 'and')

whereOrEmptyOrNull

This adds a where condition for when a $column should be equal to $value, but not equal to a $ignore

  $query->whereOrEmptyOrNull('Country', $input['country'], '');

If $input['country'] is not equal to '' then this will be the equivalent of:

  $query->where('Country', $input['country']);

Otherwise if $input['country'] === '' then a where statement isn't added.

Likewise, a default value could be added, eg.

$query->whereOrEmptyOrNull('Country', $input['country'], 'Australia');

If you wanted to only add a where statement when $input['country'] isn't 'Australia'.

This can also be run with an array of columns, e.g.:

  $query->whereOrEmptyOrNull([
          'Country' => $input['country'],
          'State' => $input['state'],
          'Locality' => $input['locality']
      ], '', '');

which would add where statements for Country, State and Locality if the input fields weren't empty.

whereInColumn

This adds a where condition to only include records where $value is in $column. The value of $column should be a comma delimited list.

For example:

  $query->whereInColumn('Country', 'Australia');

In SQL, this would be the equivalent of:

  WHERE CONCAT(',', `Country`, ',') LIKE '%,Australia,%'

whereNotInColumn

This adds a where condition to only include records where $value is not in $column. The value of $column should be a comma delimited list.

For example:

  $query->whereNotInColumn('Country', 'Australia');

In SQL, this would be the equivalent of:

  WHERE CONCAT(',', `Country`, ',') NOT LIKE '%,Australia,%'

whereIfNull($column, $ifNull, $operator = null, $value = null, $boolean = 'and')

This adds a where condition with the column wrapped in an SQL 'IFNULL' with the column as the first parameter and $ifNull as the second parameter.

For example:

  $query->whereIfNull('Country', 'Australia', '=', 'New Zealand');

In SQL, this would be the equivalent of:

  WHERE IFNULL(`Country`, 'Australia') = 'New Zealand'

Aggregates

Available scopes

• addCount
• addSum
• addAvg
• addMin
• addMax

Example

Calls::make()
  ->select(['calltype'])
  ->addCount('id')
  ->addSum('seconds')
  ->addSum('seconds', 'seconds2')
  ->groupBy('calltype');

In SQL, this would be the equivalent of:

  select calltype, count(id), sum(seconds), sum(charge) 
    from calls 
   group by calltype

Group and Order

Available scopes

• groupByIndex
• orderByIndex

Example

Calls::make()
  ->select(['calltype', 'description'])
  ->addSum('charge')
  ->groupByIndex(1, 2);
  ->orderByIndex(1);

  select calltype, description, sum(charge) 
    from calls 
   group by 1, 2
   order by 1
