How to add bracket in laravel query builder using 'WHEN' condition? - php

Question

Given this code:
$objResellerList - DB::table('ResellerMaster as RM')
->leftJoin('StateMaster as SM','SM.id',RM.id_StateMaster')
->leftJoin('RegionMaster as REM','REM.id','=','RM.id_RegionMaster')
->leftJoin('DealerGroupMaster as DGM','DGM.id','=','RM.id_DealerGroupMaster')
->when($keywords, function($query) use ($keywords) {
return $query->where('RM.company_name', 'like', '%'.$keywords.'%')
->orWhere('DGM.name', 'like', '%'.$keywords.'%')
->orWhere('RM.email', 'like', '%'.$keywords.'%')
->orWhere('RM.pic', 'like', '%'.$keywords.'%')
->orWhere('RM.pic_mobile_no', 'like', '%'.$keywords.'%');
})
->when($status, function($query) use ($status) {
return $query->where('RM.status', $status);
})
->select('RM.*','SM.name as state','REM.name as region', 'DGM.name as dealer_group')
->orderby('RM.company_name','asc')
->paginate(10);
When i search with keywords, I need to close it with a bracket at when condition. How to include the bracket at when condition?

Answer 1

DB::table('users')
->where('name', '=', 'John')
->orWhere(function ($query) {
$query->where('votes', '>', 100)
->where('title', '<>', 'Admin');
})
->get();
give u brackets
select * from users where name = 'John' or (votes > 100 and title <> 'Admin')
so use where with function
->orWhere(function ($query) {
$query->where('votes', '>', 100)
->where('title', '<>', 'Admin');
})
or
->where(function ($query) {
$query->where('votes', '>', 100)
->where('title', '<>', 'Admin');
})
it will give u brackets
use
->when($status,function($query) {
return $query->where(function ($query) {
//do some action
})
})
