Laravel 9.37 has a new rawValue() method to get a value from a SQL expression. Here are some examples from the pull request:
$first = TripModel::orderBy('date_at', 'ASC') ->rawValue('YEAR(`date_at`)');$last = TripModel::orderBy('date_at', 'DESC') ->rawValue('YEAR(`date_at`)'); $fullname = UserModel::where('id', $id) ->rawValue('CONCAT(`first_name`, " ", `last_name`)');
