How to use laravel where not null and where null query with example ?

In the initial stage of laravel learning you will find many challenges to build the query like where not null and where null so in this article I will show you to create where not null and where null query using laravel eloquent.

To create where not null in laravel eloquent we can use whereNotNull method which accepts 1 parameter column name.

Here is the simple syntax to use the laravel whereNotNull query

Syntax to use:

whereNotNull('COLUMN_NAME');

SQL of above query will be

select * from `table` where  `COLUMN_NAME` IS NOT NULL

So lets begin with simple examples

Example 1 – whereNotNull example

In this example i will show you simple whereNotNull

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;
  
class ArticleController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $Article = Article::select("*")
                        ->whereNotNull("category_id")
                        ->get();
      \\or
      DB::table('articles')->whereNotNull("category_id")->get();

   }
}

Output will be :

select * from `articles` where `category_id` IS NOT NULL
