Question

I\'m using the Laravel Eloquent query builder and I have a query where I want a WHERE clause on multiple conditions. It works, but it\'s not elegant.

Be sure to apply any other filters to sub queries, otherwise the or might gather all records.

$query = Activity::whereNotNull('id');
$count = 0;
foreach ($this->Reporter()->get() as $service) {
        $condition = ($count == 0) ? "where" : "orWhere";
        $query->$condition(function ($query) use ($service) {
            $query->where('branch_id', '=', $service->branch_id)
                  ->where('activity_type_id', '=', $service->activity_type_id)
                  ->whereBetween('activity_date_time', [$this->start_date, $this->end_date]);
        });
    $count++;
}
return $query->get();
