Eloquent - multiple 'when' conditions in query - laravel

Question

I create query dependent for multiple parameters. When controller function get for example 'price' and 'status' parameter I want to return results based on that two parameters.
When I use one parameter everything works well.
There is example of my controller.
$productList = Product::
where([
['lat', '>', $calculateDistanceDifference->getData()->latDifferenceBottom],
['lat', '<', $calculateDistanceDifference->getData()->latDifferenceTop],
['lng', '>', $calculateDistanceDifference->getData()->lngDifferenceBottom],
['lng', '<', $calculateDistanceDifference->getData()->lngDifferenceTop]
])
->when(request('price') !== "", function ($q) {
if(request('price') === "0-20"){
return $q->where([['price', '>', 0], ['price', '<=', 20]]);
}else if(request('price') === "21-50"){
return $q->where([['price', '>', 20], ['price', '<=', 50]]);
}else if(request('price') === "51-100"){
return $q->where([['price', '>', 50], ['price', '<=', 100]]);
}else if(request('price') === "100-200"){
return $q->where([['price', '>', 100], ['price', '<=', 200]]);
}else if(request('price') === "201+"){
return $q->where('price', '>', 200);
}
})
->when(request('status') !== "", function ($q) {
if(request('status') === "new"){
return $q->where('status', 0);
}else if(request('status') === "old"){
return $q->where('status', 1);
}
})
->when(request('active') !== "", function ($q) {
if(request('active') == true){
return $q->where('state', 0);
}else{
var_dump(request('active'));
return $q->where('state', 1);
}
})
->with('productPhotos')
->with('categories')
->with('users')
->get();
How can I avoid return statements and return result after all transformations?
I appreciate any help.

You can split and merge the query by if/else or any programming statement.
For example
$productList = Product::select('*');
if (request('price') !== ""){
if(request('price') === "0-20"){
$productList = $productList->where('price', '>', 0)->where('price', '<=', 20);
}
//any other conditions that you want to handle....
}
if (request('status') !== ""){
if(request('status') === "new){
$productList = $productList->where('status', '=', 0);
}
//any other conditions that you want to handle....
}
$productList = $productList
->with('productPhotos')
->with('categories')
->with('users')
->get();
Hope this help.
