How do you wrap Laravel Eloquent ORM query scopes in parentheses when chaining?

Question

In Eloquent, I\'d like to generate this query:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE a=1 AND ( b=2 OR c=3 );

But I seem to be generating this query instead

Answer 1

Did you test whereRaw()?

so your function should look like:

function scopeIsFeaturedOrIsBlogPost($query) {
    return $query->whereRaw('( isFeatured = "true" OR type = "blogPost" )');
}

ps. this is untested
