You can use the laravel selectRaw eloquent method to building query in laravel apps. And also use laravel select raw with multiple conditions in eloquent queries.

So, let’s see following examples that will help you how to use selectRaw() eloquent query in laravel:

Example 1: Laravel selectRaw Query using Model
Example 2: selectRaw Query using Query Builder
Example 3: Laravel selectRaw with joined table data

Example 1: Laravel selectRaw Query using Model

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;
  
class UserController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $users = User::select("*")
                        ->selectRaw('amount + ? as amount_with_bonus', [500])
                        ->get();
        dd($users);
    }
}

When you dump the above given selectRaw query you will get the following SQL query:

select *, amount + ? as amount_with_bonus from `users`

     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $users = DB::table('users')->select("*")
                        ->select('*', DB::raw('amount + 500 as amount_with_bonus'))
                        ->get();
  
        dd($users);

                  ->where('active','true')
                  ->join('user_types', 'users.user_type_id', '=', 'user_types.id')
                  ->groupBy('user_type_id','user_types.name')
                  ->selectRaw('sum(total) as sum, user_types.name as name')
                  ->pluck('sum','name');
  
        dd($users);
    }
}
