Laravel’s Query Builder is one of its most powerful tools—clean, expressive, and flexible. But as queries get more complex, involving joins, subqueries, filters, dynamic conditions, etc., things can start getting messy or repetitive.
How do you manage and structure complex queries using Laravel’s Query Builder?
Possible angles to share:
-
Do you break logic into reusable scopes or services?
-
Do you prefer using the Eloquent ORM over the Query Builder—or a mix of both?
-
Have you built your own helper functions or query macros?
