When you are working on laravel projects and you need to use mysql function in where clause then you can easily use that using DB::raw() and whereRaw(). In this example you can show how to i use mysql function in where clause. In this example i want to compare with year of created_at field but not whole date, that's whay i use mysql function Year(), this function will return only year from timestamp and compare with given value.
Example 1:
$data = DB::table("items")->select("items.*")
->where(DB::raw("Year(items.created_at)"),'2016')
->orderBy('items.created_at')
->get();
Example 2:
$data = DB::table("items")->select("items.*")
->whereRaw(DB::raw("Year(items.created_at) = '2016'"))
->orderBy('items.created_at')
->get();
