[Suggestion] or query methods

[squatto]

Would it be helpful (and would you consider merging) if I added or methods for each of the query methods? orWhereMeta(), orWhereHasMeta(), and so on. They would be helpful to avoid having to do fun things like this:

->where(fn ($query) => $query->whereMeta('hidden_from_admin', false)
                             ->orWhere(fn ($query) => $query->whereDoesntHaveMeta('hidden_from_admin'))
)

AKA "where the hidden_from_admin meta is false or it doesn't exist"

This instead could be:

->where(fn ($query) => $query->whereMeta('hidden_from_admin', false)
                             ->orWhereDoesntHaveMeta('hidden_from_admin')
)

---

Or this:

->where(fn ($query) => $query->whereMeta('source_order_id', $searchValue)
                             ->orWhere(fn ($query) => $query->whereMeta('source_order_number', $searchValue))
)

AKA "where the source_order_id or source_order_number meta is $searchValue"

This instead could be:

->where(fn ($query) => $query->whereMeta('source_order_id', $searchValue)
                             ->orWhereMeta('source_order_number', $searchValue)
)

---

The or methods will essentially just be orWhere() wrappers around the base query methods (like I'm doing above).

Let me know what you think. Thanks!

For now, I think the workaround seems simple enough. Could be something to keep in mind if others feel like this would be a useful feature.

@frasmage @squatto I would very much like to see orWhereMeta added. Without it some of my queries are becoming very long and complex since migrating to metable

If there is enough interest, a pull request is welcome 🙂

OK sweet, I'll send something up when I get a minute to put it together 👍🏻
