How to handle Laravel Eloquent “WHERE” Query with slash on the value? (Laravel 5.3)

Question

My table is like this :

On the mysql, I try like this :

SELECT * FROM players WHERE player_type = 'App\Models\Player'

Data does not showing

So, I add slash like this :

SELECT * FROM players WHERE player_type = 'App\\Models\\Player'

Data showing

Then, In laravel eloquent, I try like this :

$select = array(
    'player_type'
);
$query = self::where('player_type', '=', 'App\\\Models\\\Player')
             ->paginate(10, $select, 'page', null, null);

Data does not showing

How can I solve it?

Answer 1

Just a different approach here, not the solution.

All your models have the same namespace App\\Models\\... . If so, then just save the actual model in your database without its namespace.

id        player_type
 1        Player
 2        Player

Then later in your controller, you get the palyer type and add the namespace manually when trying to instantiate the Model.

Answer 2

you have to use double quotation "" not ''

$result = DB::table('users')
    ->where("city", "App\\Models\\Player")
    ->get();
    dd($result);

I try this in my localhost and it works
