Laravel Eloquent orWhere Query

Question

Can someone show me how to write this query in Eloquent?

SELECT * FROM `projects` WHERE `id`=\'17\' OR `id`=\'19\'

I am thinking

In laravel 5 you could do it this way.

$projects = Projects::query();

foreach ($selects as $select) {
    $projects->orWhere('id', '=', $select);
}

$result = $projects->get();    

This is very useful specially if you have custom methods on your Projects model and you need to query from variable. You cannot pass $selects inside the orWhere method.
