Where NOT in pivot table

Question

In Laravel we can setup relationships like so:

class User {
    public function items()
    {
        return $this->belongsToMany(\'Item\');
    }
}

Maybe you can use:

DB::table('users')
        ->whereExists(function($query)
        {
            $query->select(DB::raw(1))
                  ->from('orders')
                  ->whereRaw('orders.user_id = users.id');
        })
        ->get();
