How can I query raw via Eloquent?

Question

I am trying to do a query in my Laravel app and I want to use a normal structure for my query. This class either does use Eloquent so I need to find something to do a query

Answer 1

use DB::statement('your raw query here'). Hope this helps.

Answer 2

use Eloquent Model related to the query you're working on.

and do something like this:

$contactus = ContactUS::select('*')
    ->whereRaw('id IN (SELECT min(id) FROM users GROUP BY email)')
    ->orderByDesc('created_at')
    ->get();
