Set a row to 1 while others to 0 expressed in Eloquent

Cardholders can have but one primary credit card in mysql table. 1 if using for primary and other not in use value is 0.

What I need is:

UPDATE credit_cards SET primary=IF(id=cardholder_id, 1, 0)

What I have so far is:

$cardholder_id = Input::get('cardholder_id');
$card_id = Input::get('card_id'); // For updating that specific card
$result = DB::table('creditcards')
    ->where('cardholder_id', '=', $cardholder_id)
    ->update(['primary' => 0]);
// Now I have to do another query for updating chosen $card_id 'primary' attribute to 1

I need this expressed in eloquent or query builder in one query if possible. Thank you so much in advance.

For your given code, all you would need to do change your update statement:

$result = DB::table('creditcards')
    ->where('cardholder_id', '=', $cardholder_id)
    ->update(['primary' => DB::raw('IF(id='.$card_id.', 1, 0)')]);

For a more Laravel-ish solution, if you have your models and relationships setup correctly, you could extract this logic into a method on your Cardholder model:

class Cardholder extends Eloquent {
    public function creditcards() {
        return $this->hasMany('Creditcard');
    }

    public function setPrimary($cardId) {
        return $this->creditcards()->update(['primary' => DB::raw('IF(id='.$cardId.', 1, 0)')]);
    }
}

Then your code would be:

$cardholder_id = Input::get('cardholder_id');
$card_id = Input::get('card_id');
$result = Cardholder::find($cardholder_id)->setPrimary($card_id);
