Laravel Select Query if Condition Example | Laravel Sql Case When

In this tute, we will discuss case when in laravel query example. i would like to share with you if else condition in laravel 5. if you want to see example of if else condition laravel select query then you are a right place. This article will give you simple example of laravel select if condition.

In minor case we need to use if else condition in laravel 5 Eloquent. It might be use when you just need to send data to import or api etc.

I will give you example when you can use this kind of when case statement in mysql query. If you take "status" fields in users table with following meaning:

0 => User

1 => Admin

2 => SuperAdmin

So at this time we store 0 1 or 2 values in database table but when we select at that time it should become "User" "Admin" and "SuperAdmin".

We can write mysql query like this way:

SELECT '(CASE 
            WHEN users.status = "0" THEN "User" 
            WHEN users.status = "1" THEN "Admin"
            ELSE "SuperAdmin" 
            END) AS status_lable'
FROM users

But you can write this query in Laravel like this way:

$users = User::select("*",
                    \DB::raw('(CASE 
                        WHEN users.status = "0" THEN "User" 
                        WHEN users.status = "1" THEN "Admin" 
                        ELSE "SuperAdmin" 
                        END) AS status_lable'))
                ->get();
   
dd($users);

I hope it can help you....
