Search SQL using JSON Raw data Laravel

Question

I am trying to search sql data from raw that hold json data. I am trying to search query by using REGEX but its not working and I also want to know is there is a smart way to do that please tell me.

"Riyaz" is value I want - exact value to make sure it search only that keyword.

    $customerlist=Customer::where("group", "REGEXP", '^Riyaz$')
       ->orderBy('id', 'DESC')
       ->get();

// DB JSON = {"name":["Riyaz","Saifi"]}

Answer 1

You should use the whereJsonContains query operator to perform a search on a JSON object:

$customersList = Customer::whereJsonContains('group->name', 'Riyaz')
    ->orderBy('id', 'DESC')
    ->get();
