How to write Laravel eloquent where clause as normal mysql query?

Is it possible to use a string as it is such as:

$x = "field1 > 1 && field 2 LIKE '%z%'...";

Instead of breaking the above string into chunks like:

->where('field1', '>', 1)
->where('field2', 'LIKE', '%z%')

The reason is that I have many where statements written like above in an old project and I would like to use them as they are in a new project with eloquent queries.

You can use whereRaw()

->where('field1 > 1 AND field2 LIKE "%z%"')

With variables

$str = 'z';
$field1 =1;
->where("field1 > $field1 AND field2 LIKE '%$str%' ")

you can use eloquent with raw query like this :-

User::whereRaw('id = 1')->get()

or you can use DB raw query to do that like this :-

DB::select('select * from user where field > :field', ['field' => 1]);

you should avoid to concatenate vars come from request to your query so use bind to secure your query.
