[
{
"id": 44,
"first_name": "Abcd Test",
"last_name": "Test lastname",
"student_details": null,
"subscriptions_satus": [
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Gold",
"price": 3000,
"user_id": "2"
"pivot": {
"user_id": 44,
"subscription_package_id": 1,
"subscription_status": "on_free_trial",
"expires_on": null,
"id": 9
},
"courses": [
{
"id": 18,

$filter='acive'or 'on_free_trail'
my model is
public function subscriptionsSatus()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(SubscriptionPackage::class)->withTimestamps()->withPivot('subscription_status','expires_on','id');
}

$filter=$request->input('filter')??"active";
$user=User::with(['studentDetails','subscriptionsStatus.courses'])
->whereHas('subscriptionsStatus', function($query) use($filter){
$query->wherePivot('subscription_status','=',$filter);
})
->withPagination($offset,$perPage)
->get()
->sortBy('first_name')->values();
But Got error Column not found 'pivot'

Answer 1

You need to use wherePivot along with the orWhere like below:
public function subscriptionsStatus()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(SubscriptionPackage::class)
->withTimestamps()
->withPivot('subscription_status','expires_on','id')
->wherePivot(function($q){
return $q->where('subscription_status','=','active')
->orWhere('subscription_status','=','on_free_trail');
});
}
Update
Or in your controller:
$user=User::with(['studentDetails','subscriptionsStatus.courses'])
->whereHas('subscriptionsStatus', function($query) use($filter){
$query->withPivot('subscription_status')
->wherePivot('subscription_status','=',$filter);
})
->withPagination($offset,$perPage)
->get()
->sortBy('first_name')->values();
