Laravel Eloquent Query: Using WHERE with OR AND OR?

Question

How do I say WHERE (a = 1 OR b =1 ) AND (c = 1 OR d = 1)

For more complicated queries am I supposed to use raw SQL?

Answer 1

Make use of Logical Grouping (Laravel 7.x/4.2). For your example, it'd be something like this:

Model::where(function ($query) {
    $query->where('a', '=', 1)
          ->orWhere('b', '=', 1);
})->where(function ($query) {
    $query->where('c', '=', 1)
          ->orWhere('d', '=', 1);
});
