Hello,

This tutorial is focused on laravel wherehas condition example. In this article, we will implement a laravel relationship wherehas. This post will give you simple example of laravel wherehas relationship example. you will learn laravel relationship where condition.

Here, i will give you very simple example of how to use wherehas condition with laravel eloquent relationship. you can also use with laravel 6, laravel 7, laravel 8, laravel 9, laravel 10 and laravel 11 version.

Sometime we need to add where condition with relation table then you need to use wherehas() method. for example if you have users with country relation then you want to filter with country then you must have to use whereHas(). so here i will give you two way to add condition with relation model, one using whereHas and second using whereRelation().

Example 1: Laravel whereHas()

public function index()
{
    $name = 'india';
    $users = User::with('country')
                    ->whereHas('country', function (Builder $query) use($name){
                        $query->where('name', 'like', '%'.$name.'%');
                    })
                    ->get()
                    ->toArray();
  
    dd($users);
}

Models Code:

app/Models/User.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Models;
  
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;
  
class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable;
  
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var string[]
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'email',
        'password',
    ]; 
  
    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for serialization.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password',
        'remember_token',
    ];
  
    /**
     * The attributes that should be cast.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $casts = [
        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
    ];
  
    /**
     * Get the comments for the blog post.
     */
    public function country()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Country::class);
    }
}

app/Models/Country.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Models;
  
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
  
class Country extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
}

Controller Code:

app/Http/Controllers/DemoController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\User;
  
class DemoController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $name = 'india';
        $users = User::with('country')
                        ->whereHas('country', function (Builder $query) use($name){
                            $query->where('name', 'like', '%'.$name.'%');
                        })
                        ->get()
                        ->toArray();
  
        dd($users);
    }
}

Output:

Array

    [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => 1
            [name] => Hardik Savani
