JSON Advanced

Where json contains laravel?

In Laravel, the "whereJsonContains" method is used to query JSON columns in databases. This powerful feature allows you to search for specific values within JSON arrays stored in database columns. For example, you can find users where a JSON "tags" column contains "admin" using User::whereJsonContains('tags', 'admin')->get(). Laravel automatically handles the database-specific JSON query syntax for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. This method is essential when working with flexible schema designs where data is stored in JSON format. You can also chain multiple JSON queries and combine them with other Eloquent methods. The feature supports nested JSON paths using arrow notation, enabling deep searches within complex JSON structures in your Laravel applications efficiently.
