You can build your query step-by-step and then call get() method. But sometimes it gets a little tricky for more complicated queries – for example, if you have multiple whereIn OR whereIn conditions and you want to put brackets, do it like this.
$getrecord = DiamondMaster::where('is_delete','0')->where('user_id',Auth::user()->id);
if(!empty($request->stone_id))
{
$postdata = $request->stone_id;
$certi_id =trim($postdata,",");
$getrecord = $getrecord->whereIn('id',explode(",", $certi_id))
->orWhereIn('Certi_NO',explode(",", $certi_id));
}
$getrecord = $getrecord->get();
