Sometimes you want clauses to apply a query only when something else is true. Like, you can only want to apply where statement if a given input value is present on the incoming request.

$role = $request->input('role');

$users = DB::table('users')
                ->when($role, function ($query) use ($role) {
                    return $query->where('role_id', $role);
                })
                ->get();

$sortBy = null;

$users = DB::table('users')
                ->when($sortBy, function ($query) use ($sortBy) {
                    return $query->orderBy($sortBy);
                }, function ($query) {
                    return $query->orderBy('name');
                })
                ->get();
