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

I'm a little late to the party, but wouldn't the most logical way be to wrap the where in a Closure?

    Model::where('a', '=', 1)
            ->where(function($query) {
                    $query->where('b', '=', 2)
                    ->orWhere('c', '>', 3);
    })
    ->get();
