Is there any equivalent of SQL IN (...) query in Laravel for multiple if condition?-CodePudding

Using laravel, I'm making an if with many || conditions, and I have to write the same syntaxes over and over.

My code example:

if (type == 1 ||  type == 2 || type == 3 || type == 4){
    // my code
}

Is there any shorthand syntax for this? Maybe like an IN operator in SQL.

IF type IN (1, 2, 3, 4)

CodePudding user response：

You could use PHPs in array function https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.in-array.php

$arr = [1, 2, 3, 4];

if (in_array($type, $arr) {

}

If you have multiple groups of values to compare to, use switch()

switch($type) {
    case 1:
    case 2:
    case 3:
    case 4:
        echo 'group 1';
        break;
    case 6:
    case 7:
    case 8:
        echo 'group 2';
        break;
    default:
        echo 'no group found';
        break;
}
