A JOIN With Additional Conditions Using Query Builder or Eloquent

Question

I\'m trying to add a condition using a JOIN query with Laravel Query Builder.

Answer 1

$results = DB::table('rooms')
                     ->distinct()
                     ->leftJoin('bookings', function($join)
                         {
                             $join->on('rooms.id', '=', 'bookings.room_type_id');
                             $join->on('arrival','>=',DB::raw("'2012-05-01'"));
                             $join->on('arrival','<=',DB::raw("'2012-05-10'"));
                             $join->on('departure','>=',DB::raw("'2012-05-01'"));
                             $join->on('departure','<=',DB::raw("'2012-05-10'"));
                         })
                     ->where('bookings.room_type_id', '=', NULL)
                     ->get();

Not quite sure if the between clause can be added to the join in laravel.

Notes:

• DB::raw() instructs Laravel not to put back quotes.
• By passing a closure to join methods you can add more join conditions to it, on() will add AND condition and orOn() will add OR condition.
