Is it possible to register a new operator for Query Builder in Laravel?

Question

PostgreSQL

Good day.
I use Laravel + PostgreSQL, and it became necessary to make a case-insensitive comparison of column values ​​with any of the array values. The ILIKE ANY binding is great for this, but Laravel does not treat it as an operator.

$query->where('data', 'ilike', $keywords); // <--- все супер

// думает, что ilike any - это значение и начинает сравнивать с ним
$query->where('data', 'ilike any', $keywords); // <--- $keywords игнорируются

Can I register my own operator for Query Builder? I really don't want to use whereRaw or loop through $keywords.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

What is the problem with using whereRaw? There you can use ?-bindings and not be afraid of injections.
You can try like this
Registration of their operators is not provided, as far as I know.

Answer 2

Can. Use mixins: *poke*
After that, write in the @method vendor in the dockblock. Yes, the solution is very far from ideal, but we have what we have :/
