Get records with array values in a field using eloquent

Question

I have this table that has a field I called videos and the type of that field is array . Now I want to get all the records that have at least 1 value inside videos field . Below is my code that doesn't return what I want.

$prod = Product::where(array('videos' => array('$ne' => 0)))->get();

I am using laravel 4.2 and mongoDb as my database.

Answer 1

May be this answer could help you as I came up with the solution that Json encodes the data in array. So when it's empty the value will be [] . So you can query it something like this

$prod = Product::where('videos', '!=', '[]')->get();

Answer 2

I am glad that I found the solution to this. It needs to know that field videos exists and not empty. Take a look at below code:

$prod = Product::where(array('videos' => array('$ne' => [], '$exists' => true)))->get();
