})->where(function ($query) {

    $query->where('c', '=', 1)

          ->orWhere('d', '=', 1);

});

This:

    Model::where()->get();

Is the same as:

    Model::query()->where()->get();

​

Model::query() used to instantiate a query and then build up conditions based on request variables.

​

  $query = Model::query();

  if ($request->color) {

      $query->where('color', $request->color);

  }

// Retrieve a model by its primary key...

$flight = App\Models\Flight::find(1);

​

// Retrieve the first model matching the query constraints...

$flight = App\Models\Flight::where('active', 1)->first();

​

// Shorthand for retrieving the first model matching the query constraints...

$flight = App\Models\Flight::firstWhere('active', 1);

return Destination::orderByDesc(

    Flight::select('arrived_at')

        ->whereColumn('destination_id', 'destinations.id')

        ->orderBy('arrived_at', 'desc')

        ->limit(1)

)->get();
