To convert a MySQL query to a Laravel query builder, you can follow these steps:

  1. Replace the SELECT statement with the select() method.
  2. Replace the FROM statement with the from() method.
  3. Replace the WHERE statement with the where() method.
  4. Replace any other clauses (e.g., ORDER BY, GROUP BY, LIMIT, etc.) with their corresponding methods in the query builder.


For example, if you have the following MySQL query:

1
2
3
4
5
SELECT column1, column2
FROM table
WHERE column1 = 'value'
ORDER BY column1 DESC
LIMIT 1


You can convert it to a Laravel query builder like this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
$query = DB::table('table')
    ->select('column1', 'column2')
    ->where('column1', 'value')
    ->orderBy('column1', 'desc')
    ->limit(1)
    ->get();


This will generate a Laravel query builder that is equivalent to the original MySQL query.
