Eloquent whereHas Relationship with constraint on particular related Entity - laravel

Question

Consider having two models User, and Book the last one has a status column that can obtain different string values active, inactive, deleted, so the user can have multiple books and the book belongs to the user.
how could I get only users that have their last book status = 'inactive'?
The SQL Query for the behavior is given below:
SELECT
*
FROM
`users`
WHERE EXISTS
(
SELECT
*
FROM
`books`
WHERE
`books`.`user_id` = `users`.`id` AND `books`.`status` = 'inactive' AND `books`.`id` =(
SELECT
nested.`id`
FROM
`books` AS nested
WHERE
nested.`user_id` = `users`.`id`
ORDER BY
nested.`created_at` DESC
LIMIT 1
)
)
I'm using Laravel 5.6

Answer 1

Create additional relationship in User model that returns wanted result. Basically you need 1-1 relationship for this.
/**
* #return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\HasOne
*/
public function inactiveBookStillLatestPerUser()
{
return $this->hasOne(Book::class)->where(['status' => 'inactive', 'id' => function (\Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder $nested) {
$nested->from('books as nested')
->selectRaw('max(id)')
->whereRaw('nested.user_id = books.user_id');
}]);
}
Then in somewhere in code (i.e. controller) you call it with
$users = User::has('inactiveBookStillLatestPerUser')->get();
// or if books are needed too
// $users = User::has('inactiveBookStillLatestPerUser')->with(['inactiveBookStillLatestPerUser'])->get();
I used id latest order [max(id)] in subquery to avoid unwanted result if one user made multiple books batch insert at same point of time and when all those books would have same time of insert so latest per created_at wouldn't be most accurate, maybe. But you can do that similarly, instead:
/**
* #return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\HasOne
*/
public function inactiveBookStillLatestPerUser()
{
return $this->hasOne(Book::class)->where(['status' => 'inactive', 'created_at' => function (\Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder $nested) {
$nested->from('books as nested')
->selectRaw('max(created_at)')
->whereRaw('nested.user_id = books.user_id');
}]);
}
Maybe second example is ok, but first example with id would work fine, though.

Answer 2

User::where('your-conditions')
->whereHas('books', function($query) {
$query->where('books.status', '=', 'inactive')
->orderBy('id', 'desc')
->first();
})->get();
