Eloquent\Model: identify scopeable cases

[rentalhost]

Laravel query scopes are preferable over where() and similar methods. Then when we find methods like that outside a scope method, suggests to transform it to a scope method.

$userQuery = User::query();
$userQuery->where('age', '>=', 18);

return $userQuery->first();

In this case, where('age', ...) should be transformed to a scope method: (eg. User.php)

public function scopeFilterAge(Builder $builder, $age)
{
    $builder->where('age', '>=', $age);
}

Then:

$userQuery = User::query();
$userQuery->filterAge(18);

return $userQuery->first();
