Unable to use whereHas in Laravel Algolia Scout - laravel

Question

I am working on a Laravel project. I am using Scout based on Algolia. Now, I cannot apply whereHas to the search.
I have a model called Place which has many to many relationships with Category with the following code.
class Place extends Model
{
use Searchable, Localizable;
protected $with = [
'images',
'phones',
'emails',
'categories'
];
protected $casts = [
'is_featured' => 'boolean'
];
public function categories()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(Category::class, 'place_category');
}
public function searchableAs()
{
return "places_index";
}
public function toSearchableArray()
{
$record = $this->toArray();
$record['_geoloc'] = [
'lat' => $record['latitude'],
'lng' => $record['longitude'],
];
unset($record['created_at'], $record['updated_at'], $record['latitude'], $record['longitude']);
return $record;
}
}
As you can see it will be indexed on Algolia.
I am searching based on geolocation and keyword using the following code.
Place::search($keyword, function ($algolia, $query, $options) use ($latitude, $longitude) {
$location = [
'aroundLatLng' => $latitude . ',' . $longitude,
'aroundRadius' => config('scout.algolia.search_radius'),
];
$options = array_merge($options, $location);
return $algolia->search($query, $options);
});
The code is working fine until I also tried to filter by category. I changed my code to something like this.
$query = Place::search($keyword, function ($algolia, $query, $options) use ($latitude, $longitude) {
$location = [
'aroundLatLng' => $latitude . ',' . $longitude,
'aroundRadius' => config('scout.algolia.search_radius'),
];
$options = array_merge($options, $location);
return $algolia->search($query, $options);
});
if ($category) {
$query = $query->whereHas('categories', function ($query) use ($category) {
$query->where('categories.id', $category);
});
}
As you can see now, I am now filtering by categories too using whereHas. When I run the code, I got the following error.
BadMethodCallException
Method Laravel\Scout\Builder::whereHas does not exist.
Literally, I cannot use whereHas with Algolia search. How can I fix it? Also, I am thinking of indexing the categories and filter the records on the Algolia side.But I am going to be filtering by id. How can I customise the query for it?
