Can you use query builder to build a query with a dynamic WHERE clause at runtime in laravel?

Question

So I know if I build a dynamic SQL string I can do something like the following

$SQL = \"SELECT * FROM \" . $table;

$first = 1;
foreach($items as $key => $va         


        

Answer 1

$query = $tableModel->newQuery();

foreach($items as $key => $val) {
    $query->where($key, "LIKE", '%'.$val.'%');
}

Answer 2

foreach( $items as $key => $value )
{
    $query->where( $key, '=', $value );
}

Is something like that what you're after?

EDIT: Looks like Mark beat me to it.
